There is no such thing as true freedom.  You want to legalize marijuana...how about this.  High taxes...age 21 and extreme sentencing for those caught under 21 with it.

The punishments you described are stricter than those for alcohol can you not read?MadDogm16

Again...you are making things up.  I didn't describe any punishment at all.  I said it should be extreme.  Not a slap on the wrist in other words.  I do not bring alcohol into this argument because it's fallacious to do so.  Apples and oranges  One does not make the other right and vice versa.  Now if you want to quote me....then stick to what I've said and don't create your own agenda.:roll:

Never, it makes you stupid. Alcohol doesn't make you fail school and be a loser.

Then again a few months ago the USA Today did several articles stating that marijuana is scientifically and statistically safer than alcohol so I don't know.

Because Marijuana make s a lot of undesirables pretty friggin' rich, if it's be legalised, it'll have to be sold cheaper than its street value.

Age restrictions most definitely should be imposed, but possession shouldn't have strict punishment, unless it's bootlegged.  After it's legislated, you can then nail street sellers right ot the wall.

I'm not setting the punishment at all.  I'm saying what legalization would require.  If you think the government would just legalize it across the board you are mistaken.

I don't think they do anything now unless you have a large amount as you could be a dealer. But a bit for personal use I think they just confuscate.LJS9502_basic

I cannot put it more simply. If alcohol is legal, marijuana should be legal.megagene

[QUOTE="megagene"]I cannot put it more simply. If alcohol is legal, marijuana should be legal.BranKetra

Cocaine, morphine, etc.  Anyway, marijuana would be just as dangerous to be under the influence of while driving....so it's not harmless.

I agree with him:)

  Only because the attempt to ban these other legal substances created another drug war. The Mob was bootlegging it. Seriously people.. If you would study your god damn history you would know why alcohol and Tobacco are legal and why the FBI, FDA, DEA and BATF exist.

  I say no, because people are already stupid enough as it is. We don't need them smoking themselves stupid until they do so much brain damage that they degenerate into a perminate stupor. We don't need a heard of Tommy Chongs roaming around.

  "Hehehe.. uhhh.. what? Um.. well, okay man I gotcha you. Cause you know it's like.. It's like..uhhh.. what were we talking about? Uhh WOW!!"

Its not your place or the governments place to tell the WHOLE NATION they can't do what they want to their bodies. YOU GET THAT ALL YOU ANTI DRUG PEOPLE! Its not your right to tell others what to do! SIMPLE! MadDogm16

Government is theoretically the voice of society.  If society feels certain things are wrong...it is their job to enforce what the majority wants.

Don't quibble...that is still the job of government.  If you think they couldn't get rid of at least the majority of drugs if they wanted then you're mistaken.  It is not and never has been a priority.

FYI drugs are not a victimless crime.  I suggest you do some serious studying on the affect of drugs on users, family, and society before making such a conclusion.

I responded to what you said.  How is that dodging anything?  I'm not a socialist nor that liberal either.  Drug users rarely look at the big picture..  I think you quit because you couldn't respond.  See you around..:lol:

  You CAN do whatever you want. Just like I COULD go kill someone, but murder and smoking MJ are illegal so there would be consequences.

  Nobody is stopping you from doing anything. You can smoke whatever you want until the FEDs or constables catch you.
