Should Marijuana Be Legalized?

Well, AC got here before me, but yeah -

All drugs, including marijuana, should be legalized - do people never learn that porhibiting does not work?

What have people learned from Prohibition in 1920s?! If anything...

Of course it should be legalized - marijuana, in particular had nothing to do with it being a drug when it was legalized. The problem it represented was the fact that it became a threat t paper industry, you can produce marijuana oil on which the cars can run (yey, solution to war in iraq), it also reporesented a compatition to cotton business...

So yes, legalize the damn thing - in an ideal world all drugs should be legal.

For the past 100 years (when opium was first criminalised) all hard drugs have been illegal, yet somehow they managed to be the top trade in the world today...alongside weapons and oil...hmmmm

very good

ah yes, and a big contributor to capitol hill i might add.
fact: 1 acre of hemp produces as much paper as in 4 acres of trees. not only that but the paper is better quality. not only THAT but since hemp is a weed, it takes little time to regrow after reaping, as opposed to so many years it takes for trees to grow back. NOT ONLY THAT but industrial hemp, which contains NO thc (the chemical that gets you stoned) is also outlawed.

thats right, even industrial hemp is outlawed. PROOF that there is far more to this story than "its bad for you, so we made it illegal".

well I dunno about that, cuz there r some pretty serious drugs out there, if ALL drugs r legalized there would be like 10000 ODs every day... I dont think EVERY drug should be legalized...

These thousands of OD's everyday effect you how?

More to the point, why should all drugs NOT be legalised? Coz you don't want others to OD? So let's legalise the drugs you like, but f*ck all the other addicts? Bit of a double standard.

-AC

oh please AC u know perfectly well, that there r much more chances of ODing with Crack or any of those weird drugs and the ones u inject than ODing with Ecstacy or Pot... 🙄

Yeah and?

So it's ok to legalise drugs you deem ok but not ones that others take the responsibility to use?

Short answer: No it's not.

Just because you find all those other drugs frighteningly dangerous, so what? You're not gonna take them and OD are you? No.

-AC

well not because you don't care about other ppl means nobody does...
a president has the duty to protect its citizens! letting them all OD isnt the best way of managing a country IMO

Hahahaha.

"I want the drugs I like to be legalised, but I don't want that drug addict to die, so don't legalise whatever he's on."

Funny, the drug addict probably couldn't give two shits about you. If you're allowed to take drugs, so is everyone else. Don't be such a hypocrite. If someone decides to take drugs it's up to them and it's not your right or responsibility to tell them otherwise.

If you wanna stick to ecstacy and weed, go for it. Don't be so self-righteous as to think you have the right to protect me or anyone else from something we wish to do.

It's none of your business what someone else takes into their body, it IS tough crap if you don't like it.

whenever the topic of pot comes up, it unleashes a massive wave
of 'experts' armed with all the misinformation given to them at their junior high school d.a.r.e. meeting. its just to frustrating to discuss it, because of the idiots who think it can kill you 🙄 they call people who smoke pot 'drug addicts' and accuse them of poisoning their bodies with a dangerous 'addictive' substance...while they sit back and take another sip from their budweiser longleck.

Exactly, point proven. I absolutely agree.

"They say pot does all kinds of bad shit, makes you unmotivated...LIE! When you're high you can do everything that you would normally do, you just realise...it's not worth the f*ckin effort."-Bill Hicks.

If they want to use it, that is fine with me.

I don't care what happens to them.

So yes.

well lets just say u dont give a damn about ppl... I do call me a ****ign hypocrite I dont give a shit 😬

yeah, keeping drugs illegal is the way to go.
just like alcohol prohibition. if you make it illegal it will
just disappear....oh...wait a minute...DAMN YOU HISTORY!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!

🤨 kay...

here's a thread idea:

'should marijuanna be decriminalised'

in other words, does someone deserve to go to prison for smoking pot.
(which btw happens all the time)

well I dont think they should

you dont think it should be decriminalised?
or you dont think people should go to prison for smoking pot?

i dont think they should go to jail for smoking pot

...ure mighty yoday right? 😖

Thank god its no longer a crime in this country and actually besides border towns drug related crime has been highly reduced... The overal usage of it has actually dropped, the amount of addicts from it have dropped.

And guess what? The goverment makes money from it, so imo it only has possitive sides...

Yes it should be legal, and in every single country cause then our border towns wouldn't have a problem with those germans and belgiums buying drugs here and going insane
