Pot is only fused with a realtively small part of our culture, and we shouldn't let yet another harmful way to ruin your life become main stream. I'm all for making the penalty of smoking pot much more sever, to deter it. If the government would actually crack down and enforce its own laws.

How is it possible to get an accurate count of the popularity of an illegal drug? o_o;

@Sentenal
And as you said before and it's been proven, drugs are nearly impossible to crack down on. Look at Alcohol.

No, powder is illagal and the law does enforce it. But there are harsher laws against crack cocaine, even though it has the SAME effect as powder. It'd be like making alcohol illegal, but making certain brands of beer more illegal than others for no reason.

Main difference is that 80% of crack users are black, while only 3?% of powder users are black, as far as I know. I've never really heard a good explanation for this law. I don't plan on getting of topic, but I figured I should take a small amount of time to explain it.

GIVE A BENIFIT.  Wait, there are NONE.

The govermnet can control marijuana, meaning...

A] Goverment gains money from what WOULD be illegal marijuana. Therefore our foreign trade becomes better.

B] Our medical industry can cash in by selling weed a pharmacies for everyone's use, kind of like condoms.

C] People will most likely stop using Pot to do drugs, but instead to take of the edge, like a tall, ice cold beer.

Don't forget the government can legalize the dosage, so some idiot doesn't add something else or cause an overdose.

Woops, helped the liberals, better change direction.

The vast majority of potheads are young people. If this does get passed, an age limit is garaunteed. So you just legalized a drug so it's easily obtainable to a group that shouldn't legally get any.

You sound, frankly, like Marcus with his ridiculous Catholic Conspiracy. If there was anyway corruption in the voting system, don't you think the liberals would have used it as cannon fodder. And that doesn't explain how parties can simply change rapidly. You attack the very foundation of our democracy with unfounded accusations.

Alcohol and cigarettes wouldn't be illegal for two simple reasons:
1.Liberals stand for giving people the right to everything under the sun, so they wouldn't dare attack them.
2.Republicans stand for business, and the tobacco and alcohol industries are huge.

Neither party has a problem with it.

It wouldn't be smart to outlaw alcohol because of what happened before. danger, man. Some peopel say that that is what first made crime a big business in the US. They shouldn't legalize marojiana becuase it kills the braincells and is relaly bad for you. People using it while driving ot such is extremely dangerous. Legalized merijuana would be like lessening gun restrictions in the ghettos of New york.

Pretty much every one of your arguments has already been tackled in this topic.

When it comes to hitngs, we haven't even scratched the surface. ;)

Still, many points have been raised on each side, and it's obvious neither will sway the ither much. Let me just say this:

If pot is legalized, no one's going to shove a huge crop of hash down your throat. As with alcohol and tobacco, the consumer will have the choice of whether to use marijuana or not. Many anti-pot arguements seem (to me) to imply that the instant marijuana is legalized, pot smoke will be pumped through the climate control systems of every building in the country and every individual in the nation will be forced high. Such would not be the case. Stoners would probably have more money for snack chips and less craving for other drugs that would've been cut with the reefer by dealers, but not by the FDA. People who don't want to try weed wouldn't. Clinton could inhale. ;)

That is all.

Clinton DID inhale. Give me a break.

I'm sorry if anyone gave you that impression, I certainly wasn't getting it myself. But regardless, legalizing it will make it so the people who do want it will have it.

I'm not sure why exactly this is even being debated. We can legalize a deadly drug, or we can't. The reasoning behind letting them have it is that if we make it legal, they won't use it. I'm I the only one seeing the horrifically flawed logic here?

I realize your exageratating, but one of my arguements is that pot effects others, not just the user. If someone is getting drunk next to me, I will not get drunk from the alcohol. If someone is smoking pot next to me, I will feel the effects. Thats a fact.
