I see no reason to think of it as a bad thing, but I am comfortable with it being illegal.

Not old enough to remember that argument being used to justify the "public indecency" laws banning sodomy, I take it?

Sodomy and marijuana are fairly different.

One is a form of smoking, to which I am opposed in general.

Still not venturing anywhere away from the comparison, a chara.

It would be better would it be easier to say "Sodomy Kills" more validly.

I'm not sure I follow that because of the "woulds".
Not a criticism, just a dyslexia issue.

Sodomy doesn't kill. It isn't hurtful to others, there is no reason why it isn't unacceptable, as per effect on others.

Smoking does kill. It is hurtful to others. I am comfortable for such a thing to remain illegal.

There are numerous risks associated with Sodomy.

I cook or vape mine, don't smoke anything.
There are no second hand risks and little to no first hand ones.

I believe we should legalize it and reasonably regulate and tax it. And for goodness sakes, we should stop throwing people in prison over it - that is way more damaging to society than letting people toke up.

As for users, my only request is that they be responsible and considerate. As with tobacco, don't push your smoke on other people (my last year in college some of my fellow students were terrible about this). As with alcohol, don't drive or perform potentially dangerous tasks under the influence (and, yes, I do believe that should remain illegal - just is it is with alcohol).

Only when done without protection.

Then I'm not talking about that.

I honestly don't see the point in using any drugs for recreational purposes. But that's just me being a 'party pooper' or whatever the ******** people want to call me. I can have a good time without getting drunk or high.

"Why would anybody do anything I don't agree with? People shouldn't have their own preferences. That's stupid"

I just said I don't see the point. I wasn't saying people shouldn't do it if they want to.

You do see the point, then, clearly.

I understand that they think it's fun or stress relieving or whatever, but I don't see the appeal. I can have fun without drugs. I can stress relieve without drugs.

You believe that users are incapable of having fun, or relieving stress, without drugs?

I'd reckon you were not old enough to remember these either, mostly because anti-sodomy laws were generally not considered crimes involving public indecency.

Know much about Victorian UK law and Irish law derived therefrom, do you?

"I've never tried it, thus I don't understand why anybody would do it. I have no basis for my reasoning in this topic, and it was a waste of time for me to even express my meaningless, baseless opinion."

"I enjoy making fun of people who have a different opinion then the majority even if opinions don't have to have a basis other then personal feelings and experience."

"I enjoy making fun of people who have a different opinion then the majority even if opinions don't have to have a basis other then personal feelings and experience."

I never make fun of people who have a differing opinion if that Opinion follows three things:
A) That opinion is valid (I.E. I don't like X because of Y life experience that doesn't fly in the face of science)
B) That opinion is backed up by at least one source.
C) That opinion is backed up by at least a logical argument (X = B. B =C thus, X = C)

You have NONE of those. Just "I don't like it when people do things I don't do."

EDIT: You know how early I said I had something like 675,000 sources on drugs?

That's because I do. Seriously, if they gave out degress based on the sheer knowledge somebody has and not how much money you spend at X school, I'd be a world famous drug researcher. And the saddest thing about that statement? I'm not even remotely close to joking. I know more about drugs than most pharmaceutical specialists.

Wow, you just go around getting angry with people, don't you? The only reason I'm here now is because I'm visiting a relative and drank too much coffee, leading to me staying up and looking through the extended conversations area on Gaia due to the fact that I have nothing else to mindlessly waste my time on.

Leading me on to you, which I have now seen that you only have negative and rather rude things to say. Not very helpful to the discussion. It makes me wonder if you're the stereotypical troll, or merely a reactive individual. One the things I noticed from you is that you bring your self up a lot. Try focusing on the topic at hand more. Evidence, facts that you can prove to be facts. And try not bringing down others. That's not the point of these discussions either.

A fair amount actually, yes, which is why I said sodomy was not considered generally a crime involving a PUBLIC indecency. Sodomy does not typically occur in public, and if it does, then its not treated specially from regular laws against public indecency which criminalize sex in public.

What I think you mean is that sodomy was typically labelled an "unnatural"/immoral/crime against nature, not one of public indecency.
