Children already have their hands on it now. I say legalize it and tax the shit out of it, may as well, people get a hold of it way too easy these days. It will be like smoking as long as people dont do it around me I'm fine with it.Personally I dont see what the big deal is about it i tried it once when I was about 14 and that was that I grew up not wanting to do that shit and it makes me laugh that I hear about students wasting most of there Student loans on gettin' high.....fuckin idiots. Each to their own I suppose. So yes I think Legalizing it most importantly taxing the shit out of it would be a fantastic idea, but It wouldnt change much people will still get there hands on it from dealers so how much would the governments be making?
Yes it should definitely be legalized. So much money could be made from legalizing marijuana. People always say it's a drug that can ruin your life, but that is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard. It's no worse then going out and getting drunk. Actually weed is better for you then alcohol is. Weed can actually help people in a lot of ways. When you are high you can still do things such as driving a car and in some cases it is easier to focus when you are high. With alcohol it just impairs your judgment and nothing really good comes from it. I think weed should be treated in the same way as alcohol. Once you reach a certain age like 18 then it should be legal to smoke it.
All of those above the influence commercials on TV are nothing more then bullshit propaganda. None of the stuff they show in those commercials really happens when you get high. In the media weed is treated like a hardcore drug like heroin or cocaine, when in actuality it is nothing like that. If you can legally drink a 6 pack and smoke a pack of cigarettes, then you should be able to roll up a blunt and blaze whenever you want to.

Personally, I find marijuana incredibly over rated. All it does is make you not want to do anything. And I can feel that without doing something illegal. But hey, maybe that makes me a loser. 
The 'children will get their hands on it easier' arguement is a tad redundant. They don't need an easier way to get their hands on it. Where I come from it's not difficult at all to get weed.
But I do think that kids would start buying it earlier in life if it were legal. In Ireland, the average kid has had their first drink by 12, gotten drunk by 14 and gets drunk at least once at month at the age of 16. If that started happening with marijuana, it would be scary as hell.
I'm a drinker, as are my closest friends. We get drunk regularly despite being underage as we enjoy doing so in each others company cause we always have a good time and laugh our asses off. And we know our own limits. We've been drinking for about 3 or so years and it hasn't affected us too much. We still do well in school, still work hard and we still have motivation to do every day stuff.
I also have a few friends who are "stoners". They'd rather get stoned than get drunk. I have no problem with that. But it's very difficult to ignore the effects it is having on some of them. I know one guy who started smoking marijuana at around 13 and he's now 15 and it's destroyed him. He used to be actuve, he used to love playing in his band and he used to be very witty. Now though he does nothing all day, he doesn't do anything at band practice and it takes him about 15 seconds to form a sentence.
You can throw all the statistics and studies you want at me. You can tell me how marijuana has never killed anyone, how it has no real effects on a person's brain. But I've seen what it can do first hand to a developing brain. And if legalising marijuana means more kids will start smoking it from an early age, then I really don't want it legalised.

And I've seen first hand how marijuana hasn't affected people much at all. I smoke weed and still have a 3.5 gpa and am in my junior year of college. I've also seen how alcohol has fucked up peoples lives a lot more then weed has. For every story one person has about weed fucking up someones life, someone else has one about how it doesn't affect them at all. Same goes for alcohol. I'm not saying go get high all day every day. But using it for recreational purposes like alcohol isn't bad.
Honestly, I believe that it should be banned and there should be stricter penalties for it.
Now, I smoke it. Pretty much regularly. But, that doesn't make it safe. Sure, it won't kill you. Sure, it has similar effects to alcohol in the form of impairment and such. But, it's still a "gateway drug." All it takes is one time being high to try and get that high from other drugs or stimulants. Take it from me. I went to college.
Things like cigarettes and marijuana should be completely banned from distribution in the United States. Most of you are probably going to ask me, "shouldn't alcohol fall into that category as well?" I say no, because you must ABUSE alcohol in order for it to do long-term damage to your body. However, tests have proven that one cigarette can cause cancer in a human body.
Now, I'm sure all of you will say "Marijuana won't kill you... not even from excessive smoking." First of all, that is untrue. It CAN kill you. But, just like alcohol, it would have to be abused first. However, I can't remember the last time that someone I knew has a glass of wine and wanted to run into the hood and try some crack-cocaine. Alcohol doesn't have a reputation for the beginnings of corrupting and killing the youth of America. Marijuana does.
Now, in reply to others' statements in regards to legalizing pot, some of you say that it's still easy for children to get their hands on pot. But at the same time, they get their hands on cigarettes at any convenience store and liquor at any bar or liquor store in America. Sure, there's a legal drinking age of 21 and cigarette smoking age of 18, but we all know those laws aren't doing jack SHIT for preventing young people from getting their hands on, trying, and abusing booze and cigs.
Furthermore, many of you have stated that kids will keep on buying it anyway, so why not legalize it? That is the most ignorant cop-out I have ever heard. Kids can also buy heroin. Does that mean we should legalize it, too?
Facts are facts and drugs are drugs. Whether it be cigarettes, alcohol, or marijuana, these substances are dangerous, addictive and corruptive. There should be no traces of it anywhere in the world. I am completely for manijuana being illegal. IMO, anyone that thinks differently is making the decision for selfish and cowardly reasons.

How long have you been smoking weed? Were you smoking it when your brain was still developing?
I'm not denying alcohol does damage. But considering I live in Ireland, I don't know of very many stories of lives being damaged compared to teenagers' lives that have been destroyed by marijuana.
The problem is it's alot easier to learn your lesson from drinking too much than it is if you smoke too much weed.
I know you're not saying people should go out and get high all the time. But it's alot easier for people to go out and get high all the time than it is for people to be drinking all the time. At least for teenagers anyway. I know quite a few people who get stoned at least once a day but I know no one who drinks every day.
If the number of teens getting stoned all the time increases from weed becoming legal, then that would be pretty terrible.
Nate DaMac
Fuck erbody but me
I smoke weed daily. Have for almost 6 years now. I've never really taken the stance that it should be legal, but it should be decriminalized. Blade, I don't know how it is over in Ireland, but alchohol is a way bigger problem than marijuana in America. If it were given an age limit say 18 or 21, and kids still get their hands on it, it falls solely on the parents not doing their jobs. How many drunk drivers kill every year? How many stoned drivers kill every year? I'm willing to bet there is a staggering difference between the 2. With you Blade, I believe it is a cultural difference. When I drink, and I love to do it, I cannot function. There is nothing I couldn't do sober when I'm high. Decriminalize it. As System of a Down says," All research and successful drug policies show treatment should be increased, and law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences."
If weed is legalized then I doubt the number of people getting high will increase. The fact that it's illegal has never stopped anyone I know from getting high or from trying it for the first time. I also think that legalizing marijuana will stop people from doing other drugs as much. If you could legally smoke bud then why would you go out and pay more for harder drugs that you could get arrested for.
I think it's funny that the people who support marijuana do two things. 1) They completely ignore the fact that multiple studies have proven the harmful effects of marijuana, both as the drug itself, and the fact that it's known as the gateway drug. 2) They rationalize by saying that alcohol is legal.
News flash for you potheads.
1) The harmful effects of marijuana have been proven time and again in multiple studies. Saying that it doesn't hurt because you've been doing it and can't see the problems doesn't mean jack shit. The fact is that it has been researched and it IS harmful. Not to mention the fact that marijuana is a gateway drug. The Journal of the American Medical Association says that "young people who smoke marijuana are two to five times more likely to move on to harder drugs". (source: http://www.marijuanaaddiction.info/news-left.htm?aid=49). Furthermore, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has stated that "the risk of using cocaine has been estimated to be more than 104 times greater for those who have tried marijuana than for those who have never tried it". (source: http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/ongoing/marijuana.html). Saying marijuana is harmless is simply ignorant, and does nothing but make people feel better about doing something illegal.
2) Saying that alcohol is legal is NOT a valid argument. Drinking and driving is prohibited in all states, and if I'm not mistaken, even having an open alcohol container is illegal in most states. So, saying that it's safer to smoke weed and drive than drink and drive is flat out stupid, because they're BOTH illegal. And, as far as I know, aside from the fact that one glass of red wine a day can improve your heart, no one would disagree that consuming large amounts of alcohol is good for you. In fact, in all honesty, alchol SHOULD be illegal...but we saw how well that went back in the 1920s.
Marijuana should not be legalized.

I have been a casual user for years, and never even dreamed about trying another drug. Not once. I was offered coke a few times and avoided that shit like the plague.
I've seen first hand what coke can do, but, above all, I think pot's okay. I've held down a good job for 10 years, I don't spend all my money on it, and I don't use it in front of anyone.
I think, to some extent, pot is good for people who are high strung. I was very, VERY high strung at one time, to the point where I'd consider killing someone for looking at me the wrong way.
I've noticed I've become calmer. It also does, at least in my experience, heighten creativity quite a bit. Some of my best fanfics/stories have been written while smokin'.
I think it's just like anything else. If you over do it, you'll get in trouble. If you are mature enough to not LET it become a keystone drug, you'll be okay.
I'll put it like this. I've, unfortunately, known people who used crack. These guys would spend 3-400 a week on that fucking garbage, which, I'm told, gets you high about 2 minutes and then you're dying for more.
I can party like HELL on the weekend for about 30-40 bucks. Maybe I'll buy a few brews, too.
It should be legal for anyone of drinking age. I don't think it's a big deal.
The TV commercials are stupid. Remember the one where the potheads mow down the little girl in the parking lot? Well, W T F is a kid doing wandering a parking lot alone. Or, the kid who finds the loaded gun because dad is stoned. Well, why do you have a loaded gun with a kid around.
Bottom line is your life is to do with as you will. It's just another case of the government trying to control our lives. FTW.

Come on, you know perfectly well that's not true. There's alot of people who say 'I'm not trying marijuana, I hear it's bad for you'. They don't know how it's bad for you or if it even is bad for you. But they just assume it's bad for you because it's illegal. Now if it was legalised, it would eventually become socially acceptable. Perhaps not on the same level as alcohol, but on some level. People who didn't want to try it when it was illegal will start trying it. And if just one of those people ends up a mess (and that would happen...) then the legalisation would not be worth it.
If that's the case, why do people want it legalised so badly?
Marijuana is the ultimate gateway drug. People try it, like it, but then some people start to think it's not enough and look for something more. It's been proven and I've seen it happen a few times. If it becomes legal, more people will smoke it and so there's more chances of more people going onto harder drugs. It would pretty much do wonders for the drug dealing world.
Marijuana can be slightly harmful but unlike smoking cigarettes and drinking it can also be helpful in a lot of cases. The fact is that alcohol and even cigarettes are a lot more harmful then marijuana. The reason those are legal is because they make money, and if marijuana was legal it would be just as profitable of a product. If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then why shouldn't marijuana be? I would understand if they were all illegal but they're not.
I see Xfear is viewing the topic. I presumed he'd be off getting high somewhere. I'm guessing that's why he hasn't posted in here yet.
Legalising marijuana? Eh, I'd never campaign for it. I'm completely indifferent to the idea. I generally feel some of the arguments are fairly weak. The police won't have to police as much? Then what the fuck are we even paying them for?
I dunno, I'm just bored.

That's a horrible argument. That ranks as high as saying that one player should be in a hall of fame, because another is. It's a terrible argument, and completely lacks logic.
The better argument is that cigarettes and alcohol should be ILLEGAL, not that weed should be legal. The fact of the matter is that weed is not "slightly harmful", is very harmful, both itself and the fact it leads to harder drugs. Cigarettes have never been proven to do that, as far as I'm aware.
Well I've never met any of those people so I only go by what I know. The fact that it's illegal has never stopped anyone I know from trying it.
So they can smoke it without fear of being arrested? What kind of stupid question is that? If alcohol was illegal you'd still drink it, but I'm sure you'd be much more comfortable doing it legally.
It's only a gateway drug if you let it be. If you're smart enough to just stick to smoking bud then you'll be fine. Besides I actually know a couple people who used to be addicted to heroin and smoking weed is what got them to stop their addiction.
Oh Slyfox I really expected more out of you man.
The harmful effects of marijuana? I think you mean the harmful effects of SMOKE. THC itself has never once been proven to seriously harm any of the body's functions or facilities, ever. Using marijuana with a vaporizer or ingesting it orally is perfectly safe and will in no way harm you in the short or the long term.
But please Sly, cite me some studies about how the evil marijuana kills people. I'll be happy to cite another twenty studies about how it doesn't.
I would love some studies to back up your statement Sly. But be well aware that I can than cite another twenty studies saying the exact opposite.
A recent twelve study done at the University of Pittsburgh would suggest otherwise. I can direct you to it if you'd like.
Which is your problem right there. No SHIT people who smoke marijuana are more likely to try other drugs. It has nothing to do with marijuana, it has to do with the fact that people who use drugs are looking for something to fill a void in their lives. You think people take a hit of a joint and say to themselves "Damn this is good, I want to go try some heroin now!"?
This is the biggest issue I have with the gateway drug argument. Marijuana isn't causing people to try harder drugs, and if you believe that, you're a fool. The only reason people so oftenly start with marijuana is because it's the most readily available illegal drug there is. If psilocybin mushrooms were the most readily available drug to the youth, would we than say that mushrooms are a gateway drug to cocaine?
Besides, alcohol abuse among adolscents is ten times as rampant as marijuana abuse. If you have no problem with alcohol being legal, than you shouldn't have a problem with marijuana being legal.
Please tell me again how a drug being a "gateway" drug makes that drug harmful to your body. Marijuana has little to no negative effects on the body, and has in fact been proven to have certain positive effects.
It is if the people opposed to marijuana legalization have no problem with alcohol being legal. You cannot event attempt to debate the fact that alcohol is by FAR more dangerous and destructive drug than marijuana. It's a perfectly valid argument Sly, if one substance that is by far more destructive and damaging than another is legal, than why shouldn't the other one be? It's hypocrisy.
How does the legal status of an activity have any bearing on it's safety? Marijuana does not inhibit your senses in the way that alcohol does. Therefore, it is safer to drive while under the influence of marijuana than alcohol. Does that mean people should be smoking joints and driving around at 100 MPH? No. But it's still far safer than driving under the influence of alcohol.
Okay, glad to see that you believe alcohol should be illegal. That means we can toss away the whole alcohol compairson argument here, because you yourself don't share the absurd belief that alcohol is safe but marijuana isn't. Glad to see that.
You haven't made a very convincing argument. All you've done is mention the fact that people who try marijuana might try a harder drug later. Which has absolutely nothing to do with marijuana's effect on the body.
I know you've got better than that Sly.
I've smoked marijuana since the age of 12. I obviously wouldn't recommend anyone start that early. I smoked on a daily basis while in college (Brown University mind you) and achieved great grades through out the entire four years I spent there, and graduated perfectly fine.
I wish people would realize that 9 times out of 10 it isn't the marijuana that is negatively effecting the person's lives, its the fact that the person is using the drug as a crutch to attempt to "solve" their problems with. Abuse and drug addiction has ten times as much to do with a person's emotional and mental state than it does the actual addictive properties of the drug itself.
But profilitability at the expense of human life?? Isn't that the same problem that we have with alcohol and cigarettes?? I mean, no offense, but this is the ultimate example of complete and utter ignorance.
Bullshit alert people.
Point One - So what if it's a gateway drug? Why let the people do do move on to other drugs ruin it for people who don't? People are more likely to try marijuana if they've smoked or drank alcohol before I bet. Why not ban them. Crap argument.
Point Two (minor) - Where do you get the idea that just because something is illegal, it is automatically wrong? That's beyond ******ed.
Point Three - Yes, it is. Although, high driving is ******ed and shouldn't be legal, but I can't fathom that any intelligent individual would try and argue otherwise.
Point Four - So, because people flouted the ban and the alcohol was controlled by crime lords is the reason why alcohol was un-banned - guess what, that's exactly the same situation with marijuana now. Either you're suggesting alcohol should return to being a controlled substance, or marijuana should follow the alcohol path and be a regulated drug...which one?
Overall, I think most drugs should be legalised. Real, factual information on the drugs should be readily available and people should be able to chose for themselves what they want to do, and deal with the consequences.
What's not logical about it? All three of those things have the ability to cause harm to you. Weed causes less damage then both, especially alcohol. So why is one illegal and the other two legal?
Oh, you mean like on cigarette packs? You know, the writing on the side of the box that NO ONE EVER READS???
The government, believe it or not, makes decisions for all of the citizens of our country to improve the quality of human life. If you disagree with the rules they set, that doesn't mean they're wrong and you're right. MUCH smarter people have come before you and helped make the decisions that have shaped our way of society. Those decisions have improved the quality of life in our great country and will continue to do so.
It think that it should be legalized and regulated. You can't assume that if it were legalized that it would be business as usual and kids would still go to drug dealers for it. No, weed should be treated like cigarettes. It should be sold to people that are 18 or older in places that have licences to sell it. The growth and distribution should also be monitored by the government. That way potheads can enjoy their pot without contributing to criminals.
Also, if you regulate it and separate pot from drug dealers and criminals, it will decrease its status as a gateway drug. People turn to hard drugs after doing weed because to get the drug, they have to come into contact with a dealer that probably sells much worse substances.
I'd also like to see the studies that say that weed can kill you. It actually raises you inhibitions; so if you were to drive while high, you'd probably drive slower.

You've never met anyone who didn't want to try marijuana who thought it was harmful due to the fact that it's illegal? How few people do you know? There's thousands and thousands of people who don't want to smoke it for that reason.
You're kidding right? How many police people actually go out of their way to bust people for smoking weed? There's youtube videos of people getting stoned. People have myspace profile pictures with them smoking joints. Police know weed dealers and where they work in a town. But they don't particularly care cause there's more important things to be worrying about than stoners.
Hell, I've heard stories of people in America stoned off their asses going up to police to ask for directions and stuff. The police just send them on their way.
Call it police corruption, or lazyness, or just having other stuff to worry about, the police don't really care that much.
Slight problem with being smart enough to stick to weed, people aren't that smart. The world is filled with idiots. Idiots who let themselves get addicted to hard drugs.
If someone rids the world of those idiots, I might reconisder my viewpoint. But good luck with that.
When has weed ever killed anybody? Please show me a news story of someone overdosing on marijuana. The gateway drug argument is bullshit. Marijuana doesn't lead to other drugs. The fact that people need drugs to fill a void in their life leads to other drugs. Marijuana is the safest drug you could possibly take.
