Should they legalize marijuana?

Green Harvest- Exactly what has green harvest done, billions of dollers have gone into green harvest(which is money that could have gone into other things like education, seniors, etc) only to make marijuana more scarce and cost a whle lot more, making people turn over to other drugs because it could be cheaper or easier to get a hold of.

Taxes- Do you guys have any idea how much money the goverment would make from taxes on just marijuana, it's in the billions of dollers a year, again i mention education, senior citizen, social security funds.

Imo alot of people try other drugs because marijuana is getting harder to get and some people want to get high anyway, right. So they try other drugs and then what, get addicted.  Just from personel experience i've never seen anyone addicted to marijuana, but if they legalize i think there will be a lot less of other drug use.

Tell me what you think, BE HONEST

Sorry i'm bored and wanted to hear what others have to say

No it should not be legalized because in turn that officially makes it acceptable by a society. Which I am not for, for many reasons.

They should legalize all illegal drugs. Tax them heavily. And provide funding for rehabilitation treatment.

Simple solution really. The war on drugs is pretty much preventing foreign drug lords from making a profit. How are drug lords going to make a profit when the government is in control?

It should be legal, but treated under the same guidlines as alcohol, i.e. illegal to drive while intoxicated, must be of legal age, strick guidlines on public intoxication, etc.

LOL, don't think that Marijuana is safer than cigs, In some ways it is more harmful. If you want to ban cigerates because of health issues, Marijuana falls under the same heading.

I know many, and it is fairly addictive. Not to mention prolonged use has been shown to cause a loss in neurological function. (aka, make you dumber)

America has one of the most unforgiving war on drugs around. America also has the worlds highest prison population accounting for around 25% of the worlds prison population, we have more prisoners than China. Around 30% of state prisons population are drug offenders, they account for around than 60% of fedral prisoners. Alot of these people are just users, thanks to mandatory minimums, they are stuck in prisons for years. All this because they decide to put a certain substance into thier body. They are taken away from thier friends and famliy for doing something that doesn't harm anyone but themselves.

Doing something that makes you happy but doesn't harm anyone else makes you stupid, just because a monopoly of force says you can't?

Marijuana is more plentiful than any other drug, sometimes they try other drugs because their dealer is also selling other drugs and they're curious, or their dealer has ran out. Of course, you can just grow it yourself like a lot of people do and have loads of weed for free.

Doing something that makes you happy but doesn't harm anyone else makes you stupid, just because a monopoly of force says you can't?

If your doing enough of it to arouse the suspicions of the police, your not doing it because its making you happy,your doing it because your addicted. And you forgot to add in the percentage of drug related offences such as B&E's Murders. oh whats that? over 50% of crimes commited we're done while on drugs or to fund their drug habits.
EDIT and when that monopoly force is called the government and can throw you in jail, then yes they should know the concequences of their actions, they should have read up on what kind of time would i be getting if i carried this ect... and if they didn't then they are as bumb as i think they are.

It's a lot less harmful than cigs will ever be. It's not physically addictive at all, and it's only habit forming. And no, it doesn't make you dumber. Where are your sources for this info?

That's what happens when you make something illegal, it gets turned over to the blackmarket. The blackmarket is run by the criminals and keeping drugs illegal keeps the market for them in the criminals hands. Why do people steal for drug money? Because the prices are so high, something like 1200% higher than they would be if they where legal and manufactured legit.You can't support most drug habbits with a minimum wage job.

Drugs are horrible, they ruin lives. You said you've never see anyone addicted to weed? That either becasue you cant see the forest through the trees or your blind. andyxm

I think you're a little biased. Aside from the fact that I, a Dutchman, never saw ANY weed addict in my life, NOR a crime commited under influence of marijuana, study has indeed shown that weed is not physically addicting. And while it may become a habit to smoke it, it's also very easy to quit if you really want to. I NEVER EVER saw ANYONE get into trouble because they were stoned from weed.

You said it's not phisically addictive. But there have been plenty of studies that show that it is psycologically I have comited crimes while i was high, I had to go into rehab for a year to kick my addiction, although i was doing other drugs as well, I would always go back to smoking weed. Im speaking from personal expeirence, and I have seen alot of people comit alot of crimes in order to get some pot.

[QUOTE="andyxm"]Drugs are horrible, they ruin lives. You said you've never see anyone addicted to weed? That either becasue you cant see the forest through the trees or your blind. andyxm

I think you're a little biased. Aside from the fact that I, a Dutchman, never saw ANY weed addict in my life, NOR a crime commited under influence of marijuana, study has indeed shown that weed is not physically addicting. And while it may become a habit to smoke it, it's also very easy to quit if you really want to. I NEVER EVER saw ANYONE get into trouble because they were stoned from weed.

You said it's not phisically addictive. But there have been plenty of studies that show that it is psycologically I have comited crimes while i was high, I had to go into rehab for a year to kick my addiction, although i was doing other drugs as well, I would always go back to smoking weed. Im speaking from personal expeirence, and I have seen alot of people comit alot of crimes in order to get some pot.

That's the thing, other drugs are involved.  I've never seen anyone addicted to pot, unless they do other drugs like ice or cocaine then when they can't get those drugs they have to smoke a s*** load of weed to get high.  I live in hawaii where there is one of the worst drug problems in the U.S.  You said it yourself, you were doing other drugs.

Bingo.

By saying " I would always go back to smoking weed" It was implied that it was my drug of choice, I only did other drugs on the side. My main focus was pot.

[QUOTE="Caffeine_Trip"][QUOTE="im_very_kind"]keep it illegal i have a hard enough time dealing with the jerks who smoke cigarettes around me i dont need them being even more stupid when smoking that stuff, and then being even more annoying.

Jerks, more stupid, more annoying? Why do you think people that smoke weed are jerks and are stupid?

1. people who smoke around me are jerks 2.when theyre buzzed, theyre stupid and will smoke around me more 3. more people need to be straight edge.

The first 2 are a direct result of the person's personality . On number 3, I think that more people should do what they want to do and not have morals and beliefs shoved down their throats. I prefer not to be straight edge because I enjoy taking mind altering substances. It's my personal choice and I don't like people trying to get me to stop because it's not something they should dictate.

I'm not surprised that this topic has sparked quite the debate.
