Why you think Marijuana should be legal/illegal.

Because I should not be punished for what someone else does irresponsibly.

Pot is less harmful than alcohol, and for some dumb reason, we're still throwing cops into gunfights over it.

Nothing good has come from it's prohibition. Noone is safer or healthier.

and yet he's more successful than all of us.

No one denied there were exceptions; no one claimed that drugs without fail permanently ruined people's lives. Thus your point is irrelevant.

The point is drugs don't ruin people's lives. people ruin their own lives.

Someone high on drugs driving on the highway? That doesn't have an effect on anyone else?

what about drunks?

[QUOTE="hip-hop-cola2"]

say 90% of people who drink, abuse it, cause trouble, cause immense cost on the government.....

should that 10% be banned from drinking because other people are stupid?

you can use marijuana and NOT become a useless stupid fool, its a fact, dose it improve your life? mabye not, do video games improve our life? we waste electricity, just to sit there having fun while colours on a screen move. you can even argue its detrimental to health lol! and people forget you dont have to smoke marijuana.

im quite proud of noticing this, id like to see someone argue against it :)

Probably no one will argue because you're right. There are so many worse things out there, and people act as if pot is the worst thing ever.

for someone who likes to point out the ****of everyones argument as a means to "validity" im gonna say youre making some pretty weak arguments here. the amount of violent crime related to drug sales alone is enough to legalize it.

Point is, enforcing the law that marihuana is illegal is just not worth it. Marihuana isn't as harmful as most other illegal things, and it would be better for everyone to just legalize it. Maybe marihuana will do a little more damage to people, but at least the people enforcing the laws would be out doing useful things. 11Marcel

Why do people keep saying this? I posted this earlier in the thread, Marijuana smoke contains something like 50 to 70% more carcinogens than cigarette smoke. Now people say cigarettes are worse than Marijuana, but taking that into consideration, plus the abuse, it'll really do a number on your lungs, no? Also, people say cigarettes are worse than alcohol, but after my last sentence, if Marijuana (when abused) can be more harmful than cigarettes, how is it more harmful than alcohol abuse?

Abuse alcohol and you'll have liver problems. Abuse Marijuana, you'll have lung and heart problems. How about this? Cigarettes, alcohol, Marijuana, and all other drugs are bad for you. If you think that inhaling smoke can have anything but negative effects on you, (and I really do mean this), you are an idiot.

Abusing anything will harm you. Too much calcium, too much iron, too much water etc. The fact is true that cigarette to joint the joint is more harmful too your lungs. However, I don't see anyone smoking equal to a pack of cigarettes of marijuana a day. I'd say in reality that overall a big mac is more harmful than a joint will be. Not to mention the fact that there's medicinal properties to it.

The big difference is that very very few people actually abuse marijuana, while a disturbingly high amount of smokers do.

illegal, because when i have kids id rather them not be getting high in the house.MaddenBowler10

obviously it would still have the same laws as alcohol. Ie over 21, not in public, blah blah blah.

I suppose parenting could do that. But screw that, lets the government keep it illegal instead:P.

And just because its illegal won't stop them. At all. It really only makes it more valuable, making it big in the black market.

Unless you give it the death penalty, of coarse.

Studies have shown that lung cancer isnt connected to marijuana use.Also, individuals that smoked both weed and cigarettes were shown to have lowered cancer risks.Some scientists suspect that the thc present in the plant acts as a protective barrier against the carcinogens found in marijuana when smoked.

Other than that, marijuana doesnt have to be smoked, you can make tea, or snacks containing marijuana that would produce the same psychological effect but would be virtually harmless.
