Chicago is a cesspool of crime, so that isolated case is hardly a good example to represent an entire nation.

I can't stand it when smokers look offended if I cough or something after they blow it into my face. They act like I'm disrespecting THEM. Look in the mirror! [CENSORED WORD] is unpleasant, VERY unpleasant for the people that don't smoke it.
I completely agree with you. Anyone who blows smoke or smokes around someone who doesn't in a public place is a rude asshole. Sometimes you just happen to find a few rotten apples in the group.
I respect every ones choice not to smoke, which is why I never smoke in public. I always keep it behind closed doors in my own house. That way I know no one has any excuse to complain about it. The only time I ever smoke in public is when I go camping. And even then I will hike miles into the bush where the only thing getting affected by the smoke are some trees and squirrels. Maybe Bigfoot.

Its a fxcking drug that makes you happy.
What is wrong with being happy? Obviously I'm expecting a "Its wrong if people need a drug to be happy" answer.

Wait. It seems like you are against [CENSORED WORD] and would like to keep it illegal, yet you suggest that someone should
purposely dislocate their shoulder in order to get morphine (a much stronger drug than [CENSORED WORD]..)??
And if someone is smoking because they think it is 'cool', they probably shouldn't be.
this means to get high the next day you should smoke more than you did the night before to surpass normal. This is the direct result of people getting used to the drug and will then struggle to get high again or worst of all on a normal level again.
Huh? People choose to smoke more, they do not
need to. I have been smoking for almost 8 years and I still smoke the same amount as I did 6 years ago. I know people who have been smoking for more than 25 years and have to smoke
less now to get the same high.

The effects that [CENSORED WORD] make you feel are very addictive. Hows that?
That is true, but why is there a need to ban it? People get addicted to McDonald's, food, computers, jobs, girlfriends (wow, how many people have killed because they were 'addicted' to someone they couldn't get),
roller coasters, photography and the list could go on forever. Why aren't half of those things banned as well?

Pyschological addictions are IMO worse than chemical.
Wow, I do have to completely disagree with you. A psychological addiction is in no way as
abusive as a physical addiction. A physical addiction will literally bring you to your knees with agony. A psychological addiction will make you feel like you want something, but it won't make you not sleep for weeks, make you vomit for months etc.
I have a brother in-law who is addicted to heroine and goddamn, everytime he is forced to get clean (jail..), he is bed ridden for days! If you want to see the effects of a physical addiction, watch the movie "Requiem for a Dream", the ending to be specific. [xx(]

A better question is: If legalized, how does the situation improve?
Many points have already been made, like E-mans posts and Kevin's on the front page.
