I'll be the first.Hiring a hooker, assuming it is legal and has better health regulations and whatnot, to have sex will not have some idiot out running around getting into accidents because he is a moron who isn't performing up to speed anymore due to drug consumption. (So yeah, there are those 'good' pot heads who just sit at home and mind thier own, thats not the majority I knew growing up. But that of course makes it a personal experience view, but still.) This is a possibility with pot while not a possibility with having sex with a hooker.
It does not inherantly hurt either party in a physical manner, unless of course you start getting into all the fetishes and whatnot. Whereas it has physical side effects in the pot department.
Having sex with a hooker does not impare your judgement, or ability to perform in any way. (Not to say it wasn't impared before if you were married and this is just some quick piece of ass or something, but does not inherantly apply to having sex with the hooker directly)
Pot can be a dagerous tool being used, whereas having sex with a hooker is inherantly not dangerous.
If you can replace any of the above instances of "pot" with "alcohol" and come up with a different situation, then maybe you're on to something.

If you regulate it the way you regulate alcohol it should be fine.
It would need even more strict regulations than alchohol for the effects of it, but I can agree with that.

If it was a closed environs with poor ventilation, I could possibly see you getting high without actually tokin' on the bong. But people who don't wanna get high won't put themselves in that kind of situation anyway. And it'd still be subject to No public smoking laws.
I seem to remember pot smoking being banned in coffee shops and such in Amsterdam. I imagine that would be why.

I dont agree with alchohol or pot, however alchohol is the lesser of two evils. Like I said in the responce to Deth, if they can come up with some steeper regulations for it over what alchohol has now, then fine. But thats not likely, alchohol penalties are already a too lax as it is.

Yes, and think about that. It has a lot to do with the fact that it IS currently illegal. SO lets make it legal where you can go to a bar and toke up? Heaven forbid you toke up AND drink?
Being caught in bars and such toked up is illegal, so it doesn't happen as much, make it legal where it can be used in places like bars and such, and you will more than likely have an increase.

From the book of Maradon!, chapter 3, verse 16:
Monkey see, monkey do. It's a human desire to believe that an ape's mimicry of human hand-signs when provided certain stimulii is a form of cognative thought or communication, but apes don't say prases that they aren't taught to say. Show me an ape that can write (or dictate) even a paragraph of it's own, original work, then I'll consent that they have a capacity for cognative thought.
This is pretty original. By the way, classical conditioning works on us, too.

I've used both, so okay, let's lay out the differences:
Pot:
When you're high, your reaction time is slightly slower.
You do not take things quite as seriously, and react to situations in a different way.
These are the major ones.
Alcohol:
Your body lacks coordination, and is severely lagged.
Emotions are amplified.
You get sick and puke ( )
Your eyesight suffers severely, as things get trails behind them.
So uhm, which is the more dangerous again?

One key differenace, you have to actually consume larger amounts of alchohol to reach the point that you describe in your comparison. Where as a single hit or two on a joint will reach the description of your pot user.
Person A drinks a beer
Person B takes a hit off a joint
Who is more fucked up?
Also you are downplaying some of the effects of the pot.
For one, after subsequent hits you can begin to see tracers, and your co-ordination severly deteriorates. You can also tend to lose connection to current activity in your area and become overly detached to the situations. You will also continue to lose touch and taking things seriously.
Most of which will happen long before the first joint is finished. Faelynn LeAndris fucked around with this message on 04-03-2004 at 10:51 PM.

Put something strange on a dog's collar, like the cute little puppy in sig pic for instance (hi Ares!!). The dog will try several different things to get it off. That's simple problem solving, which is cognitive thought. Granted, it's not as developed as a human's ability to think, but to say that animals have no ability to think is an exaggeration.
