Personally, we just have to stop selling alcohol and weed to people who are total dickfaces about it. They overdrink, they drive, they go to court and get their license revoked. How about we ban them from alcohol and hand them an I.D. that states they aren't allowed to drink. Same thing with weed, except it shoud be under any cases weed is abused.

Liek, why bother legalizing it?  Srysly, why?  Marijuana is liek, for total n00bs.  They get pwned by it teh way they get pwned by cigarretes, alcohol, etc. except maybe more.  Legalizing it would make teh gov't look more n00bish than it alrdy is.

You make a legitimate point, but you need to use proper grammar.

Marijuana is a "Gateway Drug". You drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, and that's just about it, maybe both.

You do weed, you are almost garaunteed to move on to coke, meth, E, heroin, or speed. That's not speculation, it's a generall accepted fact.

There are many misconceptions about Marijuana:
1. IT IS ADDICTIVE. People on it become physically and mentally dependent.
2. It is extremely dangerous. Smoking one joint is like smoking three cigarettes.
3. It can kill you. I was appaled when someone in my school told me it was harmless. That is idiocy. It causes Lung Cancer and Throat Cancer, just like cigarettes and alcohol.

On that note, I do think alcohol should be banned. The problem with Prohibition was that no one had the guts to stop the illegal trade.

I don't think you people understand. Marijuana is a drug, yes, but so is alcohol, and so is nicotine. o_o; You cannot assume that just because you do one that you one that you're going to move on to worse ones?

1. It is no more addictive than beers, and is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH less addictive than cigarettes.

2. Who told you it was like smoking 3 cigarettes? DARE? :P

3. It CAN kill you, this is true. Smoking weed incapacitates you, just like alcohol and other drugs do. And, yes, when smoked, it CAN cause cancer, just like cigarettes. But, I mean, alcohol is legal when it can incapacitate you, and cigarretes are legal when they can cause cancer.

In my opinion, there are two options. Legalize marijuana, or illegalize cigarettes and alcohol. And we've tried to do the latter before, and it hasn't worked too well. ;D

Richie, you're missing the important point. WHY? The only thing legalizing Marijuana might do is INCREASE the amount of people who use it. It certainly isn't going to decrease it, and the people who do it now will simply be able to do it in public w/o breaking the law.

Yes, alcohol and cigarettes are bad. But they are used far 2 much ATM, which is why they'll never ban them. Anyone who would make a motion to legalize marijuana and anyone who voted for it would have sooooo many people bashing them and they'd be voted out of office. Thus, it doesn't really matter whether or not it should be legalized, it never will be.

@Sam767 - I think you meant spelling...

Don't forget the hinsain penalties that you get for growing the stuff. One guy lost his kid. Yet the government supports big tabacco wich puts more shit in there then you could find in a dumpster. Achol is not that bad compared to tabacco. And isn't tabbaco the REAL gateway drug as aposed to weed?

    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

This is true, but then comes the point where it is no more harmful than tobacco or alcohol.

That's an oponion, not necessarily a "fact."

Might work out that way, might not I honestly doubt that it would work out for the better.

And pretty much all of my views have been already said here by OmniHaxFTW, and Reaver.

Should not be legalized as a pain killer just because some dumbass wants to use it legally and is like "uhhhhuhuhuh this numbs you...hey I could say this is a pain killer and legalize it!" That is pointless and is just a motion to make something else that's bad for you in the U.S. legal that could possibly do something for you that many, many other type of pills and medicines can already do.

And I really like Reaver's idea about the irresponsible ones that drink to have some sort of I.D. the seperates them from the quote "safer" drinkers.

Because we can't trust people not to abuse it and do stupid things.

If that was the case, alcohol would be fucking toast.

The only problem I have with weed is that I can get a contact high out of it. I don't want that, especially with the positions I hold in life.

I do think people should do whatever they want in their own homes as long as they're not hurting anyone, however. That includes marijuana.

Let me explain why Marijuana is bad for society. You have a lighter. Someone gave you it. You are in command. The guy wants you to burn a house of medicine. You can do this or not. If you do you would be harming society on the contrary if you don't you would be helping. So if we legalized it we would be hurting ourselves if we do not legalize the population and the USA's growth will be 10 times as better.

I'll summerize. Once you incapicatate yourself with weed, you become reckless, and you make decisions that harm and affect others. And that's not to mention secondhand smoke.

Preemptive Strike! :o I know Richie is going to say "Well alcohol also incapacitates you." But I first counter that alcohol is too mainstream. If I had to vote, I'd make alcohol illegal too.

That may be possible, but that's one risk I rather wouldn't take. Besides, an age restriction would be garaunteed, so it'd still be "rebelios".

2. Who told you it was like smoking 3 cigarettes? DARE? tongue.gif

Actually, after reviewing the facts, I'm wrong. It's FOUR cigarettes. And what if I did hear it from Dare? It's a government sponsered program, it's far more reliable than the pothead next door.

1. Practically nothing is more addictive than cigarettes. And beer is pretty addictive once you get hooked.

Agreed, and that is one of the options I listed above; either legalize weed or illegalize alcohol and nicotene.
