smoking and usage

hwm_hero · #1 (**permalink**) 12-01-2002, 11:25 PM

I attend a major state university and am giving a big persuasive speech to alot of important people on the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States. I'm interested in what you all have to say about it, if you were in my shoes what would you say and how would you attack these people in an effective way?? I'm trying to make a good name for us to a mass of a variety of people including many upper class snooty assholes that will probably try to cut me down. Hit up this post with any ideas you would have to help! I have a dream that one day I will stand on my front porch and see fields of marijuana as far as the eye can see and there will be enough for all of us.

i would describe the beneficial aspects of marijuana, and the harm it causes to society because its illegal. jails are crowded because even a slight marijuana offense gets you there, and government money used to halt the marijuana trade could be used to help the fight against dangerous drugs. talk about how alcohol and cigarettes are both legal and kill millions more people. force them to challenge their assumed beliefs that marijuana is as bad as heroin and you should be good to go.

Be sure to make people understand that because a person chooses to use a drug for recreational purposes, doesnt mean that they are addicts who care about nothing in life. There are many examples of adults with careers and family that use cannabis and it does not have any negative effects on their lifestyle.

I am writing a 10 page paper on the legaliation of marijuana, when I am finished I will post it, it could be helpful.

Try looking at the posts that superjoint puts in the news from around the world....it's got lots of arguements on the pro's of cannabis and the kind of shit the goody 2 shoes are gonna hit you with....the best one is allways that there is not 1 recorded death from smoking mj and there are millions who die from alcohol and tobacco....and also if they hit you with the ..."Cannabis is a gateway drug to harder drugs!"....you're reply should be abosofuckinglutely....because you're forced to by weed from a guy who deals heroin and crack and that he'll give you the harder drugs for free to get you hooked on them......if it were fucking legal you wouldn't ever need to meet the scum like them.....man i hate doo gooders.....Peace out...Sid

have arguements ready on what you thing the anti peole will say. out line your speach like this

a quote by someone on the subject. someone important in history
sentence or two on what your speach is about.
name your main points
main point one
main point 2
main point 3
conclusion
open the floor to questions

thats what i learned in debate class

I love debat class. As far as helping out with your speech, I've got a little chunk of info that might be useful:

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself." - P-to-the-resident Jimmy Carter, 2/7/77

A great point is made here by Jimmy C.

I'm also fond of the whole 15-year-old-with-a-gram-gets-busted-fined-lockedup-recorded, etc, etc.

I also believe that the comparison between weed/beer/cigs is very strong. Cigs and beer are addicting. Weed isn't. Drunk drivers kill grazillions of people. Weed doesn't. Cigs cause countless numbers of diseases, almost all of which are fatal and extremely serious. Weed doesn't. Yet, weed is illegal and you can get owned by 5-0 for having just a little nug in your pocket. Hell, even paraphenalia (sp?) charges for carrying a "tobacco pipe".

I'm sure you'll have a strong argument. Go get 'em.

deadhead · #13 (**permalink**) 12-04-2002, 08:11 PM

also go here http://www.cannabis.com/untoldstory/
and make handouts

namron_420s · #14 (**permalink**) 12-04-2002, 09:43 PM

handouts would be good, because some of them might already have it made up in their mind that they dont care what you say, if you put something in their face then that might catch their curiosity.

hwm_hero · #15 (**permalink**) 12-06-2002, 03:13 PM
