Should marijuana be legal?

I strongly believe that marijuana should be legal. i feel that compared to alcohol it shouldn't even be a concern. instead of making all these dangerous pain killers and anti-depressants that can be harmful to the body marijuana should be the Superior drug. Don't get me wrong i am not saying that cannabis is not dangerous because it obviously is by inhaling smoke, but compared to alcohol which kills someone every 31 seconds (from what Ive heard) and even kills multiple people at a time i just feel its not a big deal.

Now i know there will be people who disagree with me but i mean consider that there has never been any over doses on it and i don't believe there has ever been a accident caused by being high. I feel that the government has a huge effect on manipulating people into thinking it is so bad but how ignorant can you possibly be? I'm also not saying everyone should be smoking pot but its your decision.

Also does anyone think the only reason its illegal because the government isn't making a profit? but even if that is the case if it is legal they could make profit by distributing it as a pain reliever.

whats your opinion?

All drugs that have a medical use should be available for medicine ONLY.

NO drug should be available for recreational use, and yes, I am including caffeine in that generalization. Drugs are not for dumbasses who think the world revolves around them; they are for people who are in pain and need relief.

Yes to all /thread.

But also, I'd like to add in that I like how this is a valid Marijuana thread not some guy trying to be cool...

If drugs are going to be illegal, then fast-food needs to be illegal.

The United States continually contridicts itself with it's laws.

Yes, it should be legal.

That makes no sense. There have been tons of good, successful people who have smoked. I see it more as like going to an amusement park than something bad, but I've never been one to buy into propaganda.

YES... YES it should.... anyone who thinks weed should not be illegal is a fascist PIG......killtactics

:lol::lol::lol:

Anyway, here's the definition of "fascist" for those who think calling anyone who disagrees a fascist is somehow mature:

Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology that holds the state above all else and seeks to forge a type of national unity, usually based on ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes. ...

marijuana should definately be legal!

mary jane in the brain.

First of all, antidepressants are far better at what they do than marijuana. Same for pain killers. Marijuana does not inhibit pain or improve depressed moods. Whether or not marijuana should be legal is not based on its medical uses. Most people I know that use marijuana are not using it to treat glaucoma. They use it to get high/euphoric. That's its main use. Argue over that not some hyped up medical benefits.sonicare

actually before you come to conclude that your 100% correct i am a diagnosed manic depressive and i have tried multiple drugs including prozac, zoloft and even risperdal all of them i have been taking the most i can take with out being illegal (yes i am prescribed them from my psychiatrist) and since i have actually experience what it is like to be depressed and at a level so high with anxiety i have almost have been taken to a psychological hospital. and i can say marijuana is the best cure for my problems. so unlike you i can say i know what I'm talking about

A quick history lesson on the effects of prohibition on this country should tell us how dumb an idea this is.

Fact is that society in general has always had its drugs and people will continue to consume them. There will always be alcohol users, tobacco smokers, and even pot heads, no amount of government regulation or moral superiority is going to change that.

Concerning the topic, I agree that canibus should be made legal, the government would be able to take in money by taxing it, reduce cost by not having to constantly try to hunt down pot heads playing video games in their parents' house, nor shell out cash for the poor paranoid fools that got sent to jail cause of the stuff. But that doesn't mean that all drugs should be legal. Many are seriously bad for you just as many folks shouldn't even drink or smoke canibus as they simply can't handle it. Unfortunately people will still do what they do and even a load of laws won't stop them.

Still, to say that the use of any drug save those in pain or sick is kinda silly. People use certain drugs to relax, and I don't think someone that enjoys a beer after work should be condemned as a dumbass that thinks the world evolves around them. I'm not quite comfortable with condemning 50+% of America's adult population, no more than I am willing to condemn every individual that has ever enjoyed smoking pot.

Yes, for the simple fact that no one should tell me what i can or can't induce in my own body and mind. And if it leads to the death of someone, i'll happily be held responsible.

You give me freedom. I'll take the responsability.

Really?

I'm also diagnosed with depression, I have been to see two psychiatrists and a psychologist, I have insomnia, I have several panic disorders, I'm currently seeing the second therapist I have had to see, and I've been prescribed with Xanax, Zoloft, Rozerem, Ambien, Lorazepam, and several other antidepressants and anti -anxiety pills.. I have never used pot in my life, nor has my mother, who is on more than twenty medications, most of them for depression and anxiety, nor has my grandmother, who is on over forty medications, nor has my grandfather.

I have had panic attacks at a level so high that I once thought I was having a heart attack. My sleeping used to be so bad that I would be up all night just laying there, or I would fall asleep and wake up with a panic attack every few minutes all night long.

I seem to be getting by just fine without pot. Though I might take it if it was prescribed for me.

From your medical history, pot would probably be more counter productive than actually help you. I'm not sure how a drug that makes people really paranoid would help someone with anxiety/panic attacks.

That is my point. As I quoted you, you said that the only excuse for a person to use drugs is for medical reasons. As far as I am concerned anyone using a drug simply to relax at the end of the day is not using it for medical reasons, but for recreational purposes. You don't come home and have a beer under doctor's orders, you have a beer to enjoy yourself and relax after a trying day, by your own volition. Thus, for you to say that people can only use a drug for medical purposes, but then say that a person can use a legal drug for a recreational purpose such as relaxation is a contradiction. It can only be either only medical use, or some limited recreational use, not both.

then you should kno that not all people are alike. people should do what works for them. so if its working for you then great keep it up just dont speak as a majority. and also how old are you? and i cant forsee anyone taking over forty medications for depression or anxiety. i am also diagnosedwith insomnia and i do feel how you feel. but i rly dont understand how if you have never tried even a small amount of marijuana you are aware of the effects it can have on people. honestly it helps me sleep depending on how much i consume, it helps me be able to go to walmart without haveing the anxiety to where i feel like ripping some ones face off.
