Legalize it

We should not be our brothers keeper. If someone wants to use drugs like LSD or Marijuana they should be allowed to. I hope people don't abuse these drugs but it's not right for us to force people not to do what they want to do.

I mean its not like "the man" is trying to keep us down. It just makes sense. Some drugs just shouldnt be legal because they can/will cause a harm to society as a whole. You say people should make their own choices(which I agree with mostly), I say never underestimate stupid people in large numbers(bad things happen even if it's the "right thing").

I understand your view point. Let me ask you should we then extend the ban on drug use to include tobacco? It kills people. How about alcohol? It causes deaths to people who abuse it, and at times to innocent bystanders. Like a family on the way home from church side swiped by a drunk at 90 mph.

We seem to be handling the pink elephant in the living room very poorly. Saying we smell something funny but not seeing the actual cause. I am not trying to be defensive at all. I just thought I would point this out. :)

The congressman are bought and are also fearing that everyone will become drug addicted bums

The state of California spent 19.9 billion in health care cost, but only received 1.4 billion in taxes from alcohol and tobacco. Marijuana will not balance the state’s budget. If marijuana was legalized, the price will come down. The social cost, health care cost, and the cost to make it widely available will outweigh any tax revenue.

Cocaine is seriously addictive as we all know. Once your hooked, people need it and will do anything to get it, whether buying it from a dealer or the local corner shop.

Cocaine is a very deadly horrible drug I will agree with you on that, however it should be legalized so our government can control the enviornment where it is used.

What have we accomplished by keeping it illegal? Very little to nothing, hardly a fraction of the drugs are caught.

If a substance is used underground like cocaine, or alcohol, then there is no one ready to perform CPR in case of an overdose. People get robed, raped, murdered also.

Drug abuse is horrible, the drug war is worse.

Cocaine, are you fucking kidding me? You obviously have not the slightest idea on that one my friend.

I have friends that are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet while sober, but when there high on cocaine, I have seen them brutalize complete strangers in the street just for a laugh.

I and many other people in this world have seen a very bad side to cocaine and it should never be legalized.

However, I smoke cannabis on a daily basis and I have never seen any serious ill effects.

cannabis in the UK has been mooved up to a class b from a class c.. the only difference between cannabis being in class b is that you get an automatic fine on possetion where as theres no fine on class c, the jail scentences and amaounts concidered personal use are exactly the same. i find this interesting concidering the worlds current finance situation. if cops are trying to bust people and get fines out of them then thats all fine and dandy.. but if they legalise theyll make alot more money

The reason for legalization is to focus on the negative effects.

It's about teaching the unbiased truth about the effects. It's about getting addicts the help they need to quit. It's about having age limits on drugs so that they don't get into the hands of our children.

You know these drugs have ill effects through experience, but as a mature adult it's still your choice to make those decisions.

Only through prohibition our government decrees you should be in prison at this moment. I do not

[NGenesis]

but you cant forget about the negative effects.

im all for legalizing marijuana. it contains up to 10 times more tar than a cigarette.. and it can cause psychosis or schitzofrenia or even brain damage. and you cant really overdose and thats why marijuana should be legal. Evry other drug can and probably will end up killing you. ive experienced coke, amphetamines, mdma, salvia, mushrooms.. and i wont do no more than that. and i still say evry drug appart from marijuana should be illegal.
