Drugs need to be legalized
smartass:
the us spends 30+ million dollars on weed alone, each year. they don't make it legal because you can grow it anywhere, and they would have no way of taxing it. if it were legal, it would be much harder for children to get, as well. its easily the most obtainable "drug" out there. cigs kill millions each year, but yet, weed never killed one person in history, and its supposedly one of the worst things you can get into. bunch of propaganda.
Trauma-san:
I haven't replied to this thread yet, because I honestly don't have a strong opinion on it. On one hand, I don't really like laws or the government restricting anyone, but on the other hand I realize we need some laws and some order. Honestly, I can tell you everyone has a pretty good point about Marijauna (hell, I can't even spell Marijuana)... I don't really consider it a dangerous drug. In my opinion, you CAn get addicted to it, but basically you're only gonna harm yourself, and I don't believe it's as dangerous as Alcohol, which is of course legal. So if they made Marijuana legal, you wouldn't hear any complaints out of me, but at the same time, I'm not gonna rush out and campaign for it. I think Potheads are generally lazy, igorant people because all they want to do is sit around and get high. I think the same thing about Drunks. Anything is bad in excess, food is bad in excess. If someone wants to smoke a joint on the weekend, I don't really have a problem with them.
Most other drugs I don't think should be legal. I would never (at least in my present mindstate, maybe I'll change my mind some day) do any drug outside of Pot or Alcohol. Exstacy, Crack, LSD, all that shit is for the dredges of society in my opinion, and I have a very low opinion of someone who does them. As for the laws, though, it's a decision above me, because it's much too complicated of a subject, there's a lot of history, these laws have been around forever, any minor change you make in any of these laws is going to have millions even billions of dollars worth of repercussions, ruin, and make peoples lives everywhere. So it's a *BIG fucking decision, and I'm glad I don't have a fucking thing to do with it.

i agree with you about everything exept that, because, you cant stereotype, theres people who smoke pot every day, and function great at work and home, and lead great lives, and just smoke pot for different reasons.... i think some potheads gave themselves a bad rep, and ruined it for everyone else...

maybe not marijuana directly, but what about a High person, getting into an accident and dieng, Should marijuana be blamed??? plus its funny how driving high is potrayed at bad... statistics are such bs... they say its such a high number of people who are in accidents have marijuana in them, WHAT they DONT tell you is that the majority of those cases, the person has other drugs or substances in them, like alcohol, coke, etc... its very rare that a person dies in an accident, and has just marijuana in their system.
