For people who think marijuana should be illegal?!


Question: For people who think marijuana should be illegal.?
please debate this with me.

smoking marijuana is a victimless crime

marijuana can be legalized and regulated like alcohol

the more you allow the government to make things illegal simply because you don't enjoy them, is pointless and takes oppertunity out of your hands that you deserve to have.

it says in the constitution no drug can be made illegal (this is why it was immeded for prohibition), so the founding fathers knew the risks and still made choice the main priority.

the whole argument that people will become apathetic zombies is not yours to make, you are not god and we do not exist simply to stimulate the u.s. economy.

now i won't say the argument for keeping marijuana illegal is wrong... as no opinion really ever is. but with all of these things, how can you naysayers still want it to be illegal.? thank you and please clarrify. (no ignorant kids who know nothing about cannabis).Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I think that as long as kids can get cigarettes anywhere, people can drink and drive or simply drown themselves in alcohol and As long as illegal drugs are still available to anyone, at any age, then MATURE, RESPONSIBLE ADULTS, like myself, SHOULD BE ABLE TO SMOKE MARIJUANA ANY TIME THEY WANT.

Taking into account that it has yet to be proven and/or deemed, dangerous,
IT SHOULD BE LEGAL. PERIOD.

It's only illegal because most people don't want it, or like it.
Then again, since when is society fair.?

hmm.

ill play devils advocate for ya....

how many individuals are employeed by the drug war.? How many cops.? How many parole officers.? How many addiction specialists.? support therapists.?

How many people would be out of a job if marijuana was made legal.? The answer is tens of thousands. So keep wishing, it aint happening buddy.Health Question & Answer

One reason is it's illegal is becauses it interfers with your brain chemicals and it is slow and insidious, like smoking, and look at the cost to the nation when it's too late to change, and hospitals are full up with cancer related problems and drug over doses.Health Question & Answer

I agree 100%.
No one has ever died from weed. It's nature's candy.
Oh and for that first answer - weed isn't the only drug so those people would not be out of a job. ex. Meth, cocaine, heroin, pcp, etc. That was a horrible argument.Health Question & Answer

To first reply:
Wtf.?
War of drugs.?
Marijuana is NOT a drug. It's a plant.
You can't get addicted. There are no withdrawals. So no marijuana users need addiction specialists or support therapists in the first place. So there would be no change there.
Cops need to spend their time on finding the HARMFUL drugs if anything. And parole officers usually have a job other than just being a parole officer. And if not, there are still plenty of criminals they could watch after.

If marijuana were legalized, our prisons wouldn't be over capacity. A huge percentage of the prison population is in there for stupid charges related to marijuana, a harmless plant.

If marijuana were legalized, it could make a huge dent in our energy crisis. No joke.

As opposed to riggo id like to say, that as the other poster said, there are still many more, *DANGEROUS* drugs out there that they could still be working to stop. (which in my opinion isnt right anyway but thats how it will most likley be. If you have ever seen the LEAP videos they will show why banning any drug, or a war on drugs wont work. you can not destroy drugs for ever. someone will always be making them) ANYWAY. also. so thoes DEA and Police still have theyre jobs, and THERES also!!!! NEW JOBS!!!!! for poeple who grow, distribute, and regulate the legal marijuana.

And also obvious reasons, like that it is much safer then alcohol and not addicting like tobacco, and that it can be used medically. And that hemp can be used for many things as well. And well also how marijuana has no bad effects except if you smoke it, cardio problems, which joe rogan states that he smokes weed all the time and his cardio is still great.

Oh yeah and if you saying that tar in lungs is bad (well... not really TAR from cannabis anyway, tar is something from ciggarettes alone) but lung problems from smoke are easily fixed by vaporizers, and cooking the cannabis into a food substance.

edit: people will not give you laced marijuana ever. it is a waste of theyre money if they are trying to sneak you harder drugs which probably cost more. it isnt worth it for them. also, you cant say people would add pesticides and all that garbage to it anyway (people dont as it is, and if it was legal government or some regulations would be had on growing.)

Im sorry patrick oldie but you can not overdose on THC (marijuana) it is impossible, also marijuana helps fight cancer, better luck next time.Health Question & Answer

It's so hard to argue this because the marijuana found in the US is much less organic and ranging from many sources, so it's often "dirty" or polluted in some way, causing side effects that wouldn't be in clean marijuana.

People don't know the risks of something unless they experience them firsthand, so just because most of the population won't have negative pot experiences doesn't mean some will not. I have seen psychological trauma occur when people who are prone to panic smoke pot. Prolonged use of it when it's laced can mimic acid or pcp effects, quite unpleasant unless you're into that sort of thing.

Look up pot-induced depersonalization, paranoia, anxiety... it's all real, and it's serious.

That being said.. I don't think the government cares about our mental health either, it's probably just to keep us from expanding our minds, or to prevent job losses, as someone else said. ;)Health Question & Answer

i'm not an opponent of legalization but i don't think it will ever be legalized. i don't think it can be regulated. not like alcohol at least. if you have a 1/2 acre plot of land you would be able to grow enough for yourself for the year and then some. why would you buy it from the gov't when you can grow your own very easily and inexpensively.? i know i'd be growing my own. there is too much land that can be used to grow it and it would be too difficult to regulate who can and who can't grow. either everyone can or no one can. that won't work. this is just my humble opinion though.Health Question & Answer
