I believe that Marijuana should be legalized... I don't go much on Tabaco and all that other stuff. But I am really, really interested in Marijuana legalizing.. Alcohol is worse, so why don't we ban that?

as long as they don't commit crimes to get their drugs I say let them be.... it's a waste of public funds

If the drugs are legal then many people use it publicly and another people like mostly students addicted to this.
Thank you

The amount of consumption and places for consumption can be regulated and enforced because over-consumption is relatively easy to determine. Therefore, when a person becomes a menace because of his level of consumption, law enforcement is able to do something about it.
That is not so much the case with drugs. They can be imbibed without the same level of notice. Users become public nuisances without an opportunity for enforcement.

It is not only the drug that is doing all the damage. It is the criminal atmosphere around it. If it is difficult to get some marijuana and you need to find dealers to get a little bit of herbal stimulants, it is only a small step further to other criminal activities. Since you are then already in touch with the wrong people, in an uncontrolled environment and more, it is not unlikely that you slip further away.
Another argument: WHY IS ALCOHOL LEGAL?
Alcohol is legal, and can be bought anywhere. Does anyone know how many families are ruined by alcohol? It also has way more worse effects in man than marijuana. Alcohol creates angry people that fight and kill. Marihuana doesn't. How many drunk drivers are there out on the street every night, because it is legal to buy alcohol? When using marijuana, you still can control yourself and remember. Drunks do not even remember what they did the night before. That is a waste of life!
In my opinion alcohol is way more damaging than marijuana. But everybody is totally ok with drinking a beer or a glass of wine. Then what is the big deal about Marijuana?
Ask your smart government!

Imagine being treated by a physician who's hallucinating that you've got spiders on your face. . .

See what is confusing me about your post, is why you think it would be legal to be high and driving or working. It's not legal to drink and do those things, so why would anyone make it legal to smoke marijuana and work. While it is conceivable that your examples might happen, they wouldn't actually be anymore likely to happen if marijuana was available for recreational use by adults than they are now. Contrary to popular belief, just because a thing is easily available does not mean "everyone" will use it. I like to think in my happier moments that the majority of people have enough common sense to know that taking drugs while they work or control heavy machinery is a bad idea, not because of the (or any) long term health effects or because "DRUGS ARE BAD" but because for all recreational drugs, the stated intention when using them is to alter your mental state. I would like to think that most people realise that you should be in your best physical and mental state while working.Artistic wrote:Most people when intoxicated can do virtually anything. Legalizing drugs would mean they could become available to be sold over the counter at your local drugstore. Everyone would have access to them. Imagine what this would do to kids who know no better than doing drugs is cool since celebrities do it all the time. Imagine being driven through town by a stoned taxi driver.
