33% do it again. And thats just the # who get caught.




The people who would attend a marijuana class would be the ones wanting to smoke marijuana under your example. You think some stupid class is going to change their mind? They will sit through it, maybe sleep through it, and get their certificate and go buy some pot. Maybe 1% will change their mind. Who is going to pay for this class? Etc. Etc. Etc, its a fucking dumb idea.
oh, it's such a fucking dumb idea because it wouldn't have a 100% success rate? It'd be much more than 1% i can guarantee you that. And although it may not detur people, it might really limit the amount in which they consume which is a positive benefit.


your DUI example is too off topic. people who get DUI's are breaking the law intentionally without regard to safety... they're the ones that usually don't give a fuck regardless of "new information"

I'm sorry but just because you want everyone to smoke pot and don't want to believe that smoking pot isn't bad for you, doesn't mean you should continue to argue this.

I'm all for education and knowledge, clearly. You on the other hand simply just don't give a fuck. nice attitude bud.
