Based on a 1/2" square pic and your posting history, I will guess a refried beans and honey dew melon burrito.

Hallucinations are fine as long as one can distinguish them from reality.With a really tiny one.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I drink a little wine on weekends to mellow and feel good so technically yes. Alcohol equates to being drunk. Even if it's a slight buzz.
As for the mob, it's hard to tell the difference these days. I'm fond of saying, There is no mob, because they all got elected".

Well, then it's a good thing that you are not in charge, isn't it?
People are adults; they get to decide what they want to do or not, regardless of nanny-types who wish to control everyone else's lives; but never their own... never that.

Same, same ... and... same. I think that adults can choose for themselves, here.

I think there are enough dopes there already without needing to make dope legal. 
What are you talking about?
I am in favor of legalizing and then some tax/regulatory stuff. Similar to tobacco or alcohol. Then focus on reducing the abuse. I don't approve of using, but I don't think it important either.

It's only a lie when you take it completely out of context... which is kind of a lie itself. I think that you're perfectly aware that when people say no one has ever died from pot they mean that no one has ever overdosed on pot. When they cite contrasting statistics indicating how many people die of alcohol abuse, they don't include all the people who die in car accidents while drunk.
If you can't, how would you know?
I think marijuana should be legalized but taxed heavily, and I think the taxes on alcohol should be raised, everyone says moderation is the key, and not to abuse drugs or alcohol, well higher taxation will make that possible and easier to encourage, we already have high taxation on cigarettes, and they don't even get you high like alcohol or pot, I'm in favour of legalizing and taxing marijuana similar to cigarettes, marijuana is incredibly cheap if you want to use it in moderation, the only ones complaining about the price are stoners that smoke it 24/7. Marijuana is a considerably cheaper high than alcohol, it cost about $1 to get high on pot if you don't smoke all the time, alcohol cost like $4 to get drunk, the argument that everything should be legalized has big flaws, heroin is natural, should heroin be legalized, should we flood the market with cheaper heroin, same goes for marijuana, increasing the amount of marijuana smoked, and increasing the number of smokers should not be our goal, same goes for users of alcohol.

I hate being high. Literally every time I smoke I look down on myself both through cultural guilt and personal weakness, I hate that it makes me laugh at dumb ****, I hate that when I smoke at night, which is more for sleep, my thoughts become scattered and confused. I hate taking my nightly pain pill too, and sometimes even my ssri and anti anxiety meds. But I keep doing them because they keep me from a physical and emotional breakdown. Sadly the one that helps all my problem most thoroughly I still have against me for jobs, and indeed I can lose mine.
And I don't drink for the same reason, except added that alcohol doesn't help.

I've worked on a smokeshop counter for at least several years. Despite it containing all sorts of warnings and taxed to high heaven, you wouldn't believe the backflips the poor do to just to afford their precious ciggies. Or maybe you would.

What does the fact that people want to get high have to do with subject of the OP? And people admit outright that they want to get high all of the time.

Yes, all drugs should be legal. The only people who benefit from keeping drugs illegal are drug dealers, the DEA, private prisons, prison guards, and big pharma.
You've never known anyone who drank alcohol without becoming drunk?
How much are you willing to pay for the system that arrests, prosecutes and sentences people for possessing marijuana? The war on drugs costs billions of dollars, and has ruined the lives of countless productive citizens. As the Cheat Sheet article notes, with legalization law enforcement costs fall, law enforcement resources are freed up to focus on serious crimes that truly harm people, and there might even be (already) an association with lower rates of homicide and assault. At least one study has shown a reduction deaths due to opioid overdoses in states that have decriminalized or otherwise legalized marijuana. (Ask me for it.) And, of course, as the article notes, Colorado, Washington and Oregon are rolling in cash from taxes. Massachusetts and California will soon follow. So is continuing the war on tokers worth giving all that up?
