If its legalized will it be cheaper than it is now? If not it will still be involved in drug trafficing.
And I'm sure its been said but if its legalized they will become like cigarettes, commonplace. I dont think employers what their employees going out for smoke breaks all day and getting completley stoned at work everyday. Also because its legal, it wont be near as cool to do anymore, this will drive teens to do more serious drugs which do have more negative and seriously addicting effects like crack cocaine.

I didnt say if its legal people wont want to do it AT ALL, and I didnt say just legalize everything, that was obviously not my point. Of course people will still smoke weed if its legalized, in fact more will probaby smoke weed. Obviously people do drugs for the effects, but teens are alot more into beeing "hardcore" and shit and wouldnt be as cool to smoke weed if it was legal, this would drive more teens to more serious drugs. Im not saying every single teen thats smokes weed will isntantly be like "this isnt cool lets do crack now" but things will start to move that way. Also many people who dont do drugs b/c they are 1. illegal, 2. they are afraid of getting addicted, and 3. they are afraid of the negative effects of drugs. Will be more likely to smoke weed, after enjoying it they may be alot more likely to try other drugs which are illegal and more serious. Esepecially when they are drunk and stoned at some party which would likely be the case. |

Yah I agree with everything you said, my points are not supposed to be reasons why it should definatley not be legalized, just some negative effects of legalizing it.

God damn it this is stupid. The only laws against drugs should ban them in certain cases (such as driving). If someone wants to take drugs, they can take the responsibility for doing that. This "the government can keep the population drugged" is stupid. Prove the government actively does anything to promote drug use. Quote:
I'm agreeing with you, but I don't think anyone should be punished for something that can't be proven harmful to anyone but the user. If a dude is walkin down the street, smoking a joint, he should not be punished just because he's outside his home. He should be punished if he was driving and caused an accident, for example. Quote:
Suppose we find out that smog kills people. (have we? I don't know) Should we then ban industry, as well? Your reasoning is beyond retarded. In addition to making drugs legal, we should make suicide legal too (how do you punish a dead dude anyway?). Fuck it. If that's what they wann do to themselves, fuck them. Quote:
True. I'm done with this one.

I'd post a zillion links and sources and own this thread up tight but pyramid has already done a fantastic job of that.
I'll just chime in as a regular pot user and explain some of its effects to those of you who have never done it and are concerned with people going crazy or dropping their responsibilities. I usually smoke pot 3-5 times per week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Sometimes I go weeks without smoking it at all. I generally smoke at night time out on my balcony. After I'm finished, I come inside, and continue whatever I was doing beforehand. Most of the time I'll play Counter-Strike. Sometimes I'll do work or homework. A lot of the time I end up tidying up my house. If I'm really high I'll watch TV or take a bath, or just sit and ponder things. Marijuana has two bad effects on me. First of all if I have too much I'll get an anxiety attack. It usually goes away within half an hour, and sooner if I start doing something engaging. Second, it makes it really hard for me to get to bed on time. I generally get so interested in whatever it is that I'm doing, that it's damn near impossible for me to "shut down." I've never had an overdose (that's impossible) and I've never done anything dangerous while high. Most of the time it makes me more cautious than usual. Sure, smoking pot might not be the best use of my time, but do you really think I belong in jail for it?

It would amaze many of the anti-marijuana coalition how many successful professionals smoke regularly or on the weekends.

Change a user's title. Their new title will remain until someone else changes it.

how do you figure? legal drugs = major companies producing. major companies producing = much lower prices. much lower prices = drug dealers not needed anymore. again i bring up alcohol prohibition. do you know why the mob was so powerful? they were the only suppliers. once alcohol became legal again, lots of companies started up/restarted producing it legally, cheaper, and better. people went and started buying from the legit companies. bootleggers faded out basically overnight. if it wasnt for gambling, prostitution, and yes, illicit drugs, there would be no gangs or mob. |

theres a fine line between proper consumption and abusing weed. a lot of people get sucked into the 420 lifestyle and have their lives fucked over, its not as cut and dry as some of you people talking like your experts claim. all thc does is replace seratonin as a regulator for the brain and in a lot of cases it leads to mental illness. anyone can sit back and say oh its ok for you to puff up once in a while, just like you can say its ok for you to have one or two brews once in a while, but the fact is people abuse it and damage their livelihood. the alcoholic epidemic will just get replaced with a burnout epidemic , its not some magic solution. get real people.
ive smoked a lot of weed in my day and have been around friends who do the same so im not just some armchair analyzer, you people really dont know the effects of prolongeda marijuana use on the brain, it causes ADD and depression and has serious damaging effects on memory and overall brain chemistry. it just doesnt come out as quickly or frequently as alcohol because its not as readily available and costs much more than alcohol . the simple fact is that if you legalize it , abuse will rise and so will mental illness and its not worth it for the overall population. legalization will always be a pipe dream.

Anyone who thinks marijuana was banned for a valid reason should examine the testimony from Harry J. Anslinger before Congress as the 1937 prohibition was being debated.
Quote:
No wonder this country has such extremist laws regarding cannabis, considering that people like this authored such policy.
