What are you talking about? Marijuana is labeled as an illegal drug, at least in the US.

You really believe what the government tells you about marijuana? How cute!

What would be the basis of such a ban?  Beside all three being WAY too awesome, they're not harmful..unless you drop them on somebodies head.InEMplease
Then explain to me how soda is harmful. It isn't, unless you overdose.

Soda is pretty bad with the sugar content.  Diabetes and all that.  I'm sure trans-fats are self explanatory.InEMplease
What are the odds of getting diabetes just by drinking soda in moderation and never overdosing on it? I've drunk soda plenty of times in my life before, and I'm perfectly fine right now.

Which is 100% besides the point. There's nutrition information on the bottle. Everyone knows it's bad for you. That's not a secret. The government has absolutely NO FVCKING BUSINESS dictating what people can choose to eat and drink. It's a god damn abomination of the highest order. An insult to the human ability to make our own decisions and deal with the consequences. The fact that people actually support this kind of sh!t makes me literally sick to my stomach. These people are so hopelessly delusional and pathetic they're not even human beings.

The odds are much greater than if you had not been drinking soda, plain and simple.  Less soda = less risk.  All Satan Bloomberg is trying to do is decrease soda usage.  Can't hate the man for that.InEMplease
I'm calling BS on this one. And yeah no. what Bloomberg is doing are some pretty stupid stuff, there's no denying it. people should be free to drink as much soda as they please.

Everybody knows yet half the population is overweight. Obviously people can't make the right decision or deal with the consequences of their actions.

Something needs to be done.

Logic.

I don't like this ban either, but you're lying to yourself if you think the general populace is able to make informed choices about what they eat on a daily basis.

How about, instead of dictating what a person can or cannot eat, we simply educate them on...

Wait... That would take actual work, something politicians don't know anything about.

As far as dealing with the consequences of their actions... this is not the right way to deal with it. As an ex-smoker, I can tell you: the more someone tells you you can't do something, or need to stop doing something, the more you want to shove it in their face that "Hell, yes... I can do this, just watch me." *blows smoke in anti-smoker's face*

They tried that long ago.  It didn't work too well.

Aspirin is bad for you , man.  Take 12 aspirin at once, that will be your last headache.

Yes... Prohibition, which got repealed long ago. I also know not to OD on medicine. I'm not an idiot.

Also to pick up on that a little bit, it would take you smoking 10,000 marijuana joints in a span of one hour to OD on THC, in other words you can never OD on weed. Further proof that the "drug" label is false!

But how much easier is it to OD on aspirin than alcohol?  MaryJane?  ChrisRock?

You can't OD on weed, you fool.

I'd say its easier ODing on alcohol, sounds to me one can be a lot more prone to getting addicted to that stuff than Aspirin.

People are educated.

This stuff is brain dead and everybody knows these things.

If you eat right/workout you lose weight. If you eat too much and sit around you gain it.

Simple.

People just lack self discipline.

The smoking thing just shows that some people aren't logical in their choices....
