Honestly, I say it should. Alcohol is proven worse, yet is legal. Furthermore, cigarettes should be the new gateway drug. I say this from personal experience. Never touched a drug before having my first cig. Two years later, I'm snorting coke just to get that rush.

Amras Mx My question is: Why do people want it so badly? Because it's addicting, right? Even if it's harmless, and you somehow manage to avoid other drugs, it forces you to want more. Do you know how many people live on the streets because they spend all of their money on drugs? If it were legal, supply would skyrocket. Especially marijuana. That s**t can grow damn near anywhere. Addiction would still be a serious issue, but destitution, less so. Of course, with the tobacco tax constantly rising, I can name a list of people who have hit rock bottom just to buy cigarettes.

Do you know how many people live on the streets because they spend all of their money on drugs? I've smoked weed, and I've tried e, and neither, when done responsibly, made me want more in any way other than wanting more ice cream or wanting to go shopping. Also I think it's worth it to point out that I haven't done either in a couple of years, now. When you experience something pleasurable, you want to do it again. But that doesn't make it an addiction. As long as you still have a choice in the matter it's fine. There are a lot of stories in the papers around here nowadays about people overdosing on E. One pill will not make you overdose. Neither will two. But if it's your first time taking E and you're taking 4, 5 or 10 pills, you're an idiot. You can't blame drugs for addiction and overdose any more than you can blame alcoholism on alcohol. It's up to the individual to make responsible decisions.

Storm Aether Funkyblueeyes Silver Ace Revolver Funkyblueeyes Silver Ace Revolver I'll put it simply like this and this is my actual feeling about it: If it gets legalized, everything will go down the tubes and the cancer rates will double. I'd want no part of it. Weed hasn't conclusively been shown to cause cancer. In fact, it's been shown to shrink it. I have more extreme beliefs on it, but I get criticized when I speak them, so I'll keep my mouth shut. Extreme beliefs are what heavy debates naughty stuffs are for wink This thread really seems like more of a heavy debates thing.. Some like it heavy. I think marijuana should be legal. I also think cocaine, heroine, opium, amphetamines, anabolic steroids, LSD, and all that other nasty s**t should be legal. I don't recommend any of the above to anyone, but I live in America, the land of the free, and I believe if you want to ******** up your body, your mind, and your life, you have the right to choose. Tobacco can kill you, and it's legal. Alcohol can kill you, and it's legal. Even caffeine can kill you. Well, I agree with you 3nodding

I for one don't smoke (tried once back in 2000, never did anything for me)
I say that it should be legalized. Sell it with alchohol. Arguments ahve been said before, less violent crimes happen when one is high then when one is drunk.
The only violent crimes are involved with those who sell it and if it's legalized then there are les sellers out there.

Amras Mx But why do you want so badly for it to be legal, if you don't even use it? On a matter of principle. Just because I choose not to smoke doesn't mean others should have to do the same. That would just make for an awful world =P "I hate this movie, therefore nobody can watch it!" or "I hate brussels sprouts. They are now forbidden!" We're supposed to live in a free country. I understand that there must be rules to protect people from hurting and killing each other, but what people do in the safety and privacy of their home should be up to them.

That's what's so hilarious about it =P A drunk person will take you outside for a fight, speed down the road swerving, pass out on their bar stool and vomit. A high person will not leave their seat for a fight, will drive under the speed limit (though I don't believe in smoking and driving) and will buy all the bar food their wallet can afford. It's a victimless crime 3nodding

However, people have murdered and raped while they were high. So if the laws are to protect people from harming others, isn't this a good law?

More murders and rapes are comitted sober than under the influence of any particular drug. Therefor, sobriety should be illegal.
