If Marjiuana is legalized what do you think would happen? Here is a thought to that question, thanks for asking. 1. Well dang, it would cause other druggies to ask for cocaine, meth, etc...to be legalized. Use your common sense people. It would cause much more problems than just health. You will have riots and those who are wanting to legalize other drugs, look at them legalizing weed* and be like "Hey they did this when they kept asking, and pushing why don't we" "Well weed is natural man...it grows from the ground" "Yeah...So does cocaine, why not legalize that?" "Becuaes man it's like...A health problem" "Man, same as weed, but they legalized that" You get what I'm saying here? Legalize weed* and you have more problems then before. It's just plain stupid, not too mention, just because its a herb doesnt matter one bit.

1. There would be fewer people in the prison system. Perhaps there wouldn't be as much overcrowding and perhaps there would be enough prison guards to handle the inmates.

2. There would be another source of tax revenue for the government.

3. People would be a lot less uptight.

Possibly, but those are narcotics that can lead to serious dependence... to the point of physical suffering during withdrawl.

Ok.

Actually, marijuana isn't nearly as toxic to your body as cigarettes or alcohol. Try again.

Not particularly.

Um, what is your point?

You actually didn't do anything but argue. There's nothing to substantiate your claims, either. Try again.

Are you so sure on that?
Well you may be right on that, but in a sense, if it was seen like that, why wasn't it legalized way back then? Apparently there was a reason why it is, illegal.

Maybe, Maybe not. Though, what will start to happen when people are smoking, and driving? It causes delusions that makes everything seem likek they are going in circles. If this is a cause then its worse than alcohol, and will soon in the first couple years or so will be the number one killer.
how is that?

All I hear where I live at is to legalize weed. What type of people are they? Trouble makers, ones that are always consintly in trouble with the law.

Quite sure, thanks.

One word: stigma.

Definitely not.

This wouldn't be smart. However, people already use marijuana and drive, drink and drive, use narcotics and drive. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it would come without regulation. Alcohol is legal, and it's illegal to drink and drive, for example.

Have you ever been high? I have, and I wouldn't characterize it like that.

Assumption based on fear.

It didn't make a lot of sense, the dialogue was hard to understand, and there were run-on sentences.

I'm in favor of "Legalize and Educate," and I've never once been in trouble with the law. Neither have my friends who also agree on the subject. That was a generalization.

One, if your driving while high, there is that one feeling your waking up everytime you move your eyes. Drugs, are Drugs...And will be no matter what the cause. You legalize one drug, might as well legalize them all. No matter what you do in the world conflict happens.

I respect your opinions alot, I really do. And yes I have been high, I know what it feels like...

i mean really.
"if your going to legalize on drug, legalize them all"
BOOZE IS A DRUG.

also, "cocaine come from the ground."
yes, and people have been chewing the leaves for hudreds of years with no signs of physical dependancy. it has to be chemically synthesized to because whte, powdered cocaine, unlike marijuana which has to be uhh...dried...thats it.

YES it would help the prison problem, YES we could TAX it like with do liquor.

oh, and YES its been PROVEN it has less harmful toxins than ciggs.

JSOUL, you forgot that everyone who smoked would be less uptight. haha That's my favorite pro-legalization reason.

I would wager that the feeling of being "high" would depend on the individual, and the grade of the marijuana he or she smoked.

In that case you must equate alcohol with heroine.

Alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine are all drugs, yet marijuana is still illegal.

I don't really understand this line.

"Not everyone" believes that pot is exactly equivalent to any other drug.

I mean, I don't - do you?

Dude, have you ever seen a speed freak? I mean, those people look absa-freakin'-lutely horrible, they've got these huge blotches all over their face, and their skin is freakin' yellow, and their teeth are all fallin' out (if they have any left in the first place), and they think, like, the freakin' Coke machine is talkin' to 'em.....

I mean, Jeez.... yeah, I'd say that's a dangerous drug. Wouldn't you?

I mean, let's be reasonable here. Those are the kinds of drugs that should be Schedule I, right? I mean, yeah, you know, if you want to do a little bit for "recreational" purposes, or to stay up for an exam or something, you can buy a little bit on the street, but if you're buying a "lot", then someone oughta know about it, right? 'Cause I mean, that means you got a problem. Anyone who's doing a gram of speed every day, has a problem, know what I'm sayin'?

It's like - dude - I've been a heroin addict, dig? I know what we're talking about here. Heroin withdrawals are uncomfortable, but those people are in such a freakin' miserable state that they're not capable of going out and robbing anyone at gunpoint, know what I'm sayin'? I mean, they might come crawling down the hallway at midnight begging you for twenty bucks or something, but they're not in any position to be tellin' you what to do, right?

But a speed freak is different, those people are entirely freakin' unpredictable and there's no telling what reality they might be imagining at any given moment. So yeah, I'd say, speed is "not at all" like pot, and I would certainly never vote for any law that attempted to legalize methamphetamines. Heroin is physically addicitive and therefore it presents a supply problem, and our society "de facto" addresses that, 'cause I don't know how it is in your neck o' the woods, but out here in LA you can show up at any one of a dozen methadone clinics and get treated on the spot, for free (or for like, five dollars or something) -

But there's nothing like "methadone" in the domain of methamphetamines - I mean, what they do when you withdraw, to "detox" you, is they pump you up with megadoses of barbiturates for about a week, and even then, when you're awake you're all tripping and stuff, but at least you can sleep.

So yeah, I would say, that each drug is different, and pot just happens to have been quite misunderstood over the years. It's basically a benign herb, the kind the Chinese might have used for medicine or something. I'd say it's "not at all" equivalent to something like methamphetamine, that just puts your body into overdrive for as long as you can run. I mean, there are harmful effects to society from having a bunch of speed freaks running around. I think that one's "demonstrable", don't you?

RWKING-

i agree with you. finally, someone who understand. kick-a.

btw, i have the tattoo of the ohm symbol on you avatar.

legalize, dont penalize!!!!

Amen brotha.
