Better yet, why should either be legal?

Are you even informed about weed and not just what the media wants you to hear? I guess you forgot all of its *good* use\'s to where a person can get a prescription and walk around all day smokin. 90% of the mary-jane myths are just that..myths. Not much at all has been proven to be directly related to smoking cheeba.

Medical uses, it could be ok, such as for terminally ill patients who need something to relieve pain, nausea, or other ailments.  As for it\'s harmfulness, let\'s ignore its chemical composition and its effects for a second.  Anything that you smoke is going to harm you.  That\'s simple logic.  

Besides that, there are other harmful effects from marijuana.  They are limited, and it is a relatively safe drug compared to most other out there.  It is true that it is much less addicting than nicatine.  If one of the two were to be legal, marijuana might be the better one.  But the bottom line is, it still has harmful effects.  It is illegal for a reason.

Drug s can be bad mm

but anything you do not in moderation can have adverse effects

Hardcore narcotics are bad because they have strong addicitng qualities that will cause people to do anything necessary to get more of them. Even though 90% of these peopel are good people when sober

 and shockwaves in respose to your marijuan is harmful whats your opinion on Alcohol

Alcohol is a DRUG, it is more dangerous then marijuana in every aspect and causes more damage in a single year  then marijuana has probably caused in its existence

anyone who takes the governments side that marijuana should remain illegal is truly uniformed or is basing a decision on a simple thought process of  "Since I do not do it nobody else should"

In that case then all violent videogames should be banned because there are people who believe this


I hardly drink Alcohol. I do, but very seldom. It makes me ill alot of the times, and I don\'t enjoy hangovers. I do enjoy weed though. I function every morning after. make it to work, and generally remain as happy as one can be expected in  capitialistic society where I\'m located and the lower middle class area. ( we all have our bad days)

If Alcohol is legal, then there can be no possible intelligent reason why marijuana shouldn\'t be. Again Alcohol is way more harmful


and I do not want anyone to become a weed smoker becasue I am, but alot of people need to realize there are quite a few people who are close to you, who you work with, who you bump into everyday of your lives that do enjoy kicking back with a pipe. And very few of these people deserve to be considered criminal for doing so


So all I ask is that you try not to judge everyone who does partake as this spaced out no brain loser that the establishment has burned into your brains as the only type of person who would do such a thing.

Riiiiiiight


And now, I will present Sara\'s theory on pot, and why it has not been legalized:

Alcohol is still legal because we have somewhat strict laws regulating how much we use - when we\'re in public anyway.  A cop pulls over a drunk driver, and has a neat little contraption that can be blown into, and gives out a reading such as .04 or 1.5.  Well, a cop pulls over a stoned guy for driving too slow, and can accuse him of smoking pot, but only \'cause the guy\'s eyes are glassy.  Pot isn\'t legal yet because there\'s no way to tell how much is too much, or how much anyone has smoked at all!  At least not in such a way that would be admissible in court.  

And there ya have it.

Sara

I think modern technology has developed ways of testing

but one of  the real reasons IMO is the government can\'t tax it

How could you tell if someone grew there own or bought it from a taxable  source.

If the Government could control it then they would be a heluva alot less reluctant to do so

DD-
Oh I know they can test it, I just don\'t think they\'ve devised a cheap, easy way to do it.  I agree about the taxation issue, but then again, we\'re allowed to roll our own cigs (I don\'t smoke cigs by the way), and to have micro-brews made in our homes.  In some ways, I\'m almost afraid to see pot legalized.  I can just see big businesses turning it into another cigarette fiasco - such as throwing in some additives used to form an addiction in the user.

In response to those who say stuff like, "Pot is illegal for a reason, it\'s harmful":  That argument is completely invalid in my opinion.  If it were valid, Ronald McDonald\'s stock would fall to about a penny.  Not to mention the other endless chains and franchises who sell us processed cholesterol and fat in the shape of nuggets and burgers.  Out with the Jolly Ranchers - if you eat too many of them, you could ruin your teeth.  And so on, and so on.  

Crystal meth is illegal because it will kill you.  Now THAT\'S a valid argument.

quite true

I don\'t promoite doing it, but I would not condemn doing it either

its a matter of choice and should be respected

just like violence in videogames

just like eating an Mickey D\'s

Yea, although I dont smoke weed anymore I couldn\'t agree w/u more Ddaryl.  .  I mean gosh if alcahol is legal then why cant weed be. U drink a little alcahol and get completly drunk off ur as* and then go out and become a complete hazard on the road. I\'d smoke till I was tripping balls and then drive w/out any problem sometimes, but usually only did it when I was high or stoned but u get my point.  Weed does no worse to u then drinking a little to much beer would.  Neyway, Im not as good at explaining it as Ddaryl so I\'ll just leave this all to him.


This wasn\'t exactly in support of the ppl that do it, but just saying that weed should be legal if other so called harmful substances can....
It\'s only funny until someone gets hurt...then it\'s hillarious.

wow!  This is somewhat a big issue here.

Back in the days, 1920s, alcohol is illegal.  Due to high demands for it and bootlegs, the 21st amendment repeal the 18th amendment making it legal because people are breaking the law to get some drink.  So the government think why not tax them with the drink they bought so the government have money to do whatever they see fits.

If there is a high demand for marijuana, then  this could happen again.  But the possiblity are very small.  I think Ddaryl makes some good points (picture of a fish with a joint, funny.)  So does Sara, but I think I agree with Ddaryl more.

The way I look at it, what is the harm in making it legal? How can it be anymore detrimental than people claim it to already be? Being illegal isnt really stopping ppl. Plus with so many places not having a general concensus on the subject, makes it that much harder.

I\'ve never tried it. But from what I\'ve gathered it\'s not as bad as alcohol, and that\'s legal. So let\'s legalize weed too! :D At the very least for those who would use it for medical reasons.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!

I don\'t smoke pot coz I\'ve seen how my friends get when they do it. Hehehe, slow and slack is the best way to describe it.
I\'ll just stick to alcohol.
