Marijuana

[Draco]

@Miii:I think drugs that aren't highly addictive should be legalized. Personally, I don't think the government should be able to tell individual people what they can and can't put in their bodies, nor should they be able to make growing a plant illegal. I think that people should be educated on the effects of drugs, and that they should be allowed to make an informed decision for themselves past the age of 21 (when your brain is done maturing).

I still think that things like heroine, cocaine, meth and pcp should be illegal, but things like weed and psychadelics like mdma, shrooms, and lds should be legal to use in the privacy of your own home (not out in public, or while you're driving or operating any other kind of machinery...



I have seen how this Drug helps people, and i have seen how people, Abuse it also. So in this way i have Conflicting Feeling about it.
In the End i believe that best way to end the Debate is to have it voted on in each State, I have a saying that i like to say it goes like this

" What is Right in California may not be Right in Texas". we must remember this is not US 1 state it is 50 stars on a flag.
We al think different ways and have different things that are more important to each State. So if Texas say marijuana is not right for us, then we as a people should and must be incomebent to respect the believes of others as you would wish your views respected in the same light.
Do on to others as you whould have them do on to u. Once we start to Respect everyone's opinion (even if its not yours and you disagree),

You will find something odd happens we start to not be bound by In action and start to Dare to work together for one Cause.

That's like saying we should ban alcohol.

yeah in my opinion alcohol shouldn't be as accessible as it is today and i would think it'd be better if it wasn't legal, but that's rly unrealistic to be like Hey Let's Make Alcohol Illegal and also i dont want to seem like the bggest ******* ever lmao, but i dont think that we should make drugs more available (by making them legal.)

 

[Buttonsy]

Yeah, it's ridiculous that people can go to jail for smoking weed for longer than assaulting people.

TBH, I don't think anything should be illegal if they only person that has a chance of getting hurt is the person committing the crimes themselves.

It turns normal kids into criminals.

 

[GalacticGhost]

nope, i don't. it's already illegal over here in the uk and while i don't know why, there must be a good reason for it.

I have to disagree with you. People that abuse weed are probably using it to cope with problems they don't want to deal with, but that's not the case for everyone, and you can't say "well some people abuse it so it should be illegal for everyone". I don't think it's right for some people to dictate what's right for others. I'm all for voting on issues that affect everyone, but what you put in your own body affects only you, and thus should be your choice. On top of that, the only people I've ever met that think that weed is dangerous and should be illegal are the ones that have never tried it. It's a seriously misunderstood plant, partly because it's labeled a "gateway drug" which is a bull**** concept to begin with.

From most of the studies conducted on marijuana, it's less harmful than cigarettes and alcohol. Plus it's medical properties can help so many people who suffer from seizures. The tax money we could get from marijuana could also go to things like school systems and other problems we desperately need to put money into. (In america at least)

So of course I think it should be legal. However, it's just my personal opinion.

 

[Miii]

It probably isn't illegal for a good reason. It's a fantastic pain reliever that's non-addictive and won't damage your liver, it's good for increasing the appetite of cancer patients or those with eating disorders, it dilates your blood vessels which can be good for circulation, canabanoids have been shown to fight cancer, and depending on the strain, it can either be incredibly relaxing and great for relieving anxiety (indica strains) or stimulating and motivating (sativa strains). It was illegal in the US for so long because a politician in the 20s ran a smear campaign against it to protect his interests in paper (because hemp is a more sustainable source of paper that could replace a large portion of tree made paper).

And what about minors consuming it? (Between the age of 12-17 ofc)

what about it, it's not like they don't already

when i was in high school and middle school a lot of people already did it

 

[Miii]

I don't think minors should. I think that you should let your brain finish maturing before you try any kind of mild altering substance (unless something like thc infused agave nectar is being used for kids with cancer).

 

[ellarella]

marijuana should be legalized. it's ridiculous that it isn't - mostly because of the lost money spent trying to combat it, instead of selling it, taxing it and funding programs to deal with addiction (and crippling a good deal of criminal cartels)

 

[Corrie]

How can you say it shouldn't when alcohol is much worse.
It doesn't damage you unless your irresponsible, nothing bad in my opinion.

This and cigarettes. Why are cigarettes legal when they legit actually kill you? I vote to legalizing pot 100%.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

I think so. Would certainly make a massive dent in the drug dealers pockets. Would be so much safer if it was legalised and controlled....have no idea why they don't do that and put a tax on it like with cigarettes and alcohol. It's like with cigarettes, they tell you how bad they are for you, yet they won't ever ban them. Would lose way too much money. And marijuana is really not very different

 

[lostineverfreeforest]

I live somewhere where it's legal. The sky hasn't fallen, society hasn't collapsed, and things are going quite well. Don't see any sense in sticking to a system that has never worked, regulate and tax it instead.

 

[hraesvelgr]

There's no point in keeping it illegal, so why not? It smells about as bad as cigarettes and those are legal

 

[Red Cat]

Alcohol is worse than weed. You don't hear about people getting high and then assaulting someone like you do with drunk people.

 

[piichinu]

medical marijuana is ****ing stupid and if it were proven to work at all times laymen wouldn't be voting on it. we're not voting on chemotherapy being legal or anything right?

that being said, recreational is also stupid as ****.

literally most idiots don't understand actual randomized trials that you're SUPPOSED to use for drug studies. lmao w/e

cigarettes are only legal because the government loves its economy. morons

 

[Tensu]

I say no. Most people keep bringing up the point about how alcohol is worse. That doesn't make it right to legalize pot. I say they should both be illegal.

 

[piichinu]

adding to my post: my dad's an oncologist and when stupid ****ing druggies wobble in and ask my dad to prescribe them some WEED it is way too obvious what their intentions are. i come from a family of doctors only and it's basically universally agreed upon by them and their various coworkers (except for a few with reputations of malpractice and just overall ****ty/lazy work) and if you look into all the "studies" none of them are done right. there are FAR better alternatives than weed.

what's wrong with having a glass of wine at dinner exactly?

love how people fail to understand how difficult it is to illegalize something heavily circulated into the economy.
