should they legalize marijuana?

Do you think they should legalize marijuana? Why or why not?

 

I can't give a straight answer, but if they are going to keep alchohol legal, they should do the same for marijuana. I'm defiently not anti-drug, but alchohol and marijuana should be illegal in my opinion, putting aside my liking for both.

I wish they were harmless, but some people just don't think about what they are doing. People just don't realize that you can't keep bending the rules and take it a step further all the time. Bending the rules can lead you to harder drugs or making flat-out bad decisions.

 

I don't think they should legalize it.
What good would it do?

I'm still 12 so most of my opinions will be based on how I've been brought up, I don't really think for myself yet :wth:

 

you said what good it would do, the fact is if they legalize it, they can control it, if its illegal its harder to control, if they have it under control they can put the energy they have to put in it while its illegal and they have to chase it round into catching more murderers, child abusers, hard drug barons. fact is there a people who will always smoke it, so its better to have that market controlled as i said then wild.

 

^^ It's true they will always smoke it, it would be better if it was controlled but still I think maybe it would have lots of disadvantages than advantages?

I know nothing about drugs so just another ignorant person's view

 

They've done it here for years, and nobody has problems with it. You can only have 2 weed-plants in your house, or else it will be illegal

 

In belgium they illegalized it for a few months now , I think. I don't see a reason why they did it. First it was the same as in Holland.

 

Alcohol isn't harmless. Like most drugs, it can seriously screw you up.

Anyway, I'm for legalizing marijuana, for the medical benefits and for casual use. I don't see why it shouldn't be legal, and if it is legal it can be controlled.

 

They should for medical purposes but not so potheads can spend a couple hours in a basement sitting around getting high.

 

But the thing is, if they're just lying around, who's it harming?

I'm for legalizing the medical and recreational use of marijuana under government supervision.

 

Yeah, just try and tell that to the person who has had a liver failure.

 

Make it only available over the counter. And put an age on it. There you go.

 

it really wouldnt affect me either, but i do think it should be legal. people are getting arrested for smoking it, but if its in a controlled environment, its really not hurting anyone.

"Marijuana, another thing that they've done tests on, you know, every administration does the test. It always comes back the same thing. It makes you eat cookie dough. OK, that one needs more testing."

I was in a hurry, so I wrote that wrong. My apologies.

What I meant was; alcohol causes alot of terrible things (death, disease, etc), and it's still legal. Marijuana causes little problems (none very close to alcohol), and it's illegal. Since marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol, why not legalize it?

And I really don't appreciate the rolleyes smilie, Cameron. That's uncalled for. You know I'm smarter than that, and that I obviously wouldn't actually think alcohol wasn't harmful. Anyone with an iota of an IQ would know that. [/b][/quote]
Agreed, Marijuana is less harmful than Alcohol.

 

Legalize it. Why not? If alcohol is legal then weed should be too. Plus it has medicinal benefits... I really don't see a problem with it.

 

How is it controlled when made legal?

they were thinking about legalizing it here in nevada. they wanted it to be controlled though, so you cant smoke it in public places and you can only have a limited amount in your possesion.

 

I don't care either way because its not going to affect me unless you are talking about in the Uk but I still think it should be legalised.
