Legalize it?

[asia778]

"It" meaning weed if you didn't think so......
But i say yes. It should be legalized.

Oh and mods, if this for some reason isn't allowed, i really had no idea. I looked at the forum rules and such and found nothing that said i can't talk about htis.

 

[.FM.]

your a moron you must ne 12 :S

 

[Biggs]

[DragonDude]

Even for off-topic...this is a little too off-topic.
Thats the last thing we need is to legalize weed. And don't pull that "Its for medicinal purposes!" crap on me.

 

[DeathBox]

My two cents. omfg, what the heck are you thinking? North America is plagued enough with stupidity, and we dont need to raise it any more... (Hell, check out my school...)

"Yeah! I'm a skater punk who thinks weed and cigarettes are kool "
Gee... just like my cousin....

And dont give some crap like medicanal crap like my cousin does... sure they use it in hostpitals... for freaking cancer people that are depressed! Need we say more than this post has :-/

Legalizing it would suck because then almost everyone would be doin it and alot of other dealers would be ****ed since people would be buying it from stores so no it should stay to what its at now!:\

 

[asia778]

Ok, why the **** do you think i'm a ****ing 12yearold dumb****? I'm a freshman in highschool. I'm anything but a ****ing skater punk, and Korn sux. Two of you are almos accusing me of giving you the "medicinal purpose" argument. I can respect an opinion, but not when you're ****ing attacking me. Hell, you guys don't even know if i ****ing smoke or not. There are a lot of non-smokers too who believe it should be legalized.

And i'll change my argument to that it should be decriminalized. So that you'd only get a fine if caught using it in public.

One thing, what's worse? Cigs? or weed? CIGARETTES! They have killed MUCH more than weed has ever, and the only times someone would even become in danger of smoking weed is if they put something dumb like PCP on it.
Another, the decriminalizing of weed would not necessarily mean "everyone" would do it, contrary to Jonka's argument. From a study in california, i quote, "The reduction in penalties for possession of marijuana for personal use does not appear to have been a factor in people's decision to use or not use the drug." In sum, IT DOESN"T MEAN EVERYONE WOULD DO IT.

"If we legalize marijuana, we reduce the black market and the violence associated with the sale of marijuana. " Quoted from Leigh Hedmann. I don't need to say anything about this, the quote says it all.

The amount of money the government spends on drug enforcement is easily one of the top moneyspending things that the good ol' USA fights against. By legalizing it teh government could also tax marijuana which would greatly increase our countries revenue.
In 1989, 10 Mother****ing billion dollars were spent on enforcing drug laws. 10 Billion dollars could be used on much much better things.

During prohibition, alcohol was just as illegal as weed is now, but people were still getting it, and there was a much higher percent of sometimes deadly beer.

The black market would disappear overnight. There are a couple of major cigarette companies (Marlboro is one i think) who have warehouses filled with marijuana cigarettes in Mexico. If marijuana were decriminalized, instantly, there would be a new open part of the AMerican economy, and this would at least slightly hinder drug dealers and/or organized crime.

And this is one paragraph in an article that i had stumbled across the internet, "The most important gain would be in the quality of government. The sorts of temptations and opportunities that lead to corruption would be significantly minimized. The illogical pattern of law enforcement, which now treats marijuana as more dangerous as alcohol, would end. It would set more achievable goals for law enforcement, and this would lend strength and credibility to the government. In the essay “drugs,” Vidal states, “It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time, Simply make all drugs available."

Oh and on one final note
Quoted from Deathbox "North America is plagued enough with stupidity, and we dont need to raise it any more... (Hell, check out my school...)"

Don't worry, i go to an upper-class highschool in a suburb of Chicago, and trust me, schools can't get much dumber.

"CIGARETTES" are not worse you moron they dont **** up your head and make you do dumb **** like weed does.

sure it give you cancer but it dosent **** with your mind and hormons :S


a tipical weed user would say something like CIGARETTES are worse for you cuz they dont know any better.


FM just owned you :S

Well, Canada has already put the idea out there to legalize, or decriminalize it. It's true, Ciggarettes and Alcohol are both deadlier than marijauna, but both are legal, why not Marijauna?

I don't personally do drugs, but I am open minded and listen to others opinions, and honestly, I think the only mature person here is asia778. You call him 12, and then act 8, it's freedom of opinion/speech, not freedom of stupidity. He put a perfectly logical idea out there, and I am giving a logical opinion.

By all means, legalize it, it's apparently safer than cigs and booze, it could bring in a fortune for a nation's economy. It would reduce crime rates, because it would no longer be illegal. Like asia said, so much money is put into anti-drug ops. All the time you hear about busting houses with hunders of thousands of dollars of marijauna, meanwhile the American government is also fighting the war on terrorism. Maybe if they could drop one, they could focus more time and money and the other, and solve the greater good. I hope asia appreciates my opinion and time, more than he did you idiots.

*edit* Government studies SHOW that weed is safer than cigarettes. Weed only gives you short-term side effects. Cigarrettes cause all sorts of wonderful cancers, not to mention second hand smoke diseases. Maybe read up on this stuff before you voice your opinion. And face it, cigarettes make people die.

(DEA Docket No. 86-22, 57). It is illogical then, for marijuana to be illegal in the United States when "alcohol poisoning is a significant cause of death in this country" and "approximately 400,000 premature deaths are attributed to cigarettes annually." Dr. Roger Pertwee, Secretary of the International Cannabis Research Society

According to Francis J. Young, the DEA's administrative judge, "nearly all medicines have toxicm, potentially letal affects, but marijuana is not such a substance.. Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within a supervised routine of medical care"

More proof you say?
In fact, the <b>American Medical Association</b> tried to argue for the medical benefits of hemp. Marijuana is actually less dangerous than : alcohol, cigarettes, and even most over-the-counter medicines or prescriptions.

FM, You just got owned, read the facts.

Want even more???

BTW rene, you don't use cigarettes to smoke marijauna. You can pipe it, roll it, bong it... I did a project on this for economics class on the idea that legalizing marijauna could boost a nation's economic wealth.

 

[SSJ_ReNe]

Just like to point out aswell "dope" you need to use CIGARETTES to smoke it with.

But with the amount of infomation you talking about you must be one of those kiddies that sit in the bedroom's smoking weed all night wishing for a real life

no, you don't use cigarettes. you roll them in papers, not in a little cigarette you get from the 7-11 accross the street. before you talk about a sugbect, know what you're talking about. I'm lived with pot all my life, and not once have i seen someone roll some weed with tabaco. BTW, taboco has intentionally added chemicals (arsnic, for one) that serve no really good purpose, while rolled pot is natural. Sure, you're inhaling smoke ( i know that's not healthy), but your only inhaling the smoke, not tonnes of other stuff, like tar.

Don't use the freedom of speech defense, you can't just say anything you want to. If you publicly say you're going to cause great harm to the president of the USA, you'll have gotten yourself into quite a problem.
No offense, but legalizing marijuana to stop people from using it is, IN MY OPINION, a terrible solution to this problem.
Ciggarettes and alchohol are already bad enough being legal and allowed in America, now you're telling me we should add weed to the list?
I read over your second post many times asia778, and I am sorry, but I just cannot agree with you.
