I don’t. What good will come out of legalizing drugs?

I don’t.

Only losers use drugs.

(Or is that “only users lose drugs”? I can never remember.)

There are bigger issues. Who has heard the phrase, “Pick your battles” ?

dude i dont smoke the crap but hey its alot less harmless than things that actually are legal hmmmmm maybe alocohol

Marijuana has been proven to be not addictive.
Putting people in jail for the use of this drug is a waste of time and money.
Think of all the tax dollars that could be generated by legalizing it, and all the money taken out of drug cartels pockets.
Crime would go down.

Because if it were legal, it could be taxed. The money made from it could be used for something beneficial, like healthcare or education.

Because alcohol is legal, and it’s way worse than weed in a variety of ways.

If it were legal, a lot more people (you know, the uptight ones who need to chill out) who SHOULD be smoking it WOULD!

Because it is too expensive to pay to jail weed dealers. Like we don’t have enough real criminals to house as it is.

Because employers shouldn’t be able to discriminate based on whether or not a prospective employee smokes weed.

And finally, because I want to smoke it without having to hide from the cops! lol!

The goverment does not want to listen to the fact that marijuna has medicasl uses & they have it in the same classof drugs as herion & cocaine which is totally asinine . The fedfs are still trying to use the same tatics regardinfg weed that they used when the orignal reefer madness film came out even thought the crap they try to claim regarding weed has been proven to be false For more info go here http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4412

Drugs are for losers. The next generation of Americans is going to be a bunch of brain-dead, drugged-up zombies thanks to the pervasive drug culture. Slowly the country is being destroyed from the inside by idiots with no real purpose in life beyond smoking and ‘chilling’.

Alcohol is legal, and how much money is spent on policing alcohol-related deaths? How many people taken to the ER because some idiot got into their car and hit them? Legalizing marijuana would bring the same problems.

And by the way, THC derived from the plant has medical use. Smoking it does not.

Ive done a fair amount of research on the drug with no personal interests at stake (I’ve never smoke marijuana), and marijuana truly does appear to be a near harmless drug. The toxicity is negligible, you would have to consume over a ton in a very short period of time for that to be a factor. Its not addictive because the THC cancels out the effect of nicotine, as well as many of the factors causing lung cancer causing it to be much less harmful in that respect. All of the violence associated with the drug is because its illegal in the first place, the criminalization of something people wouldn’t want to give up leads to a black market with violence as a big trait. Criminalizing chocolate consumption would probably have the same effects, but that doesn’t mean chocolate is evil.
