Same regulations we put on alcohol.  

It is or isn't a gateway drug largely depending on how you interpret "gateway drug" ...

People who are using marijuana are demonstrating a willingness to use drugs to seriously alter their mind set in a recreational way; and this is the kind of behaviour that leads people to choose harder drugs. This is true to a lesser extent of alcohol users though.

Marijuana isn't a harmless drug. If Marijuana was a prescription drug that was regulated by the FDA the carcinogens in the smoke would ensure that it would be pulled off of the market, but the studies that demonstrate its influence on the development of paranoid schizophrenia would also result in it being pulled from the market and the companies producing it would face mutliple billions of dollars worth in lawsuits.

The uproar over maijuana is only going to grow.  At this point, I think it would probably be better if the government legalized it and imposed regulations on it.  Then people could legally have access to it that want it, as long as they are old enough, and the government doesnt spend as much time and effort busting people for drugs that arent as harmful.  

That gives the government more money and power to focus on the harder drugs.  

Are there any current regulations on marijuana though? I don't think there are...

Yeah, other than that minor regulation that makes it illegal and sends people who smoke it to prison.

We've had marijuana for 5000 years.

And the uproar is far from the most significant reason why alcohol should not be banned. It should not be banned because it is none of the business of a government if people choose to voluntarily damage their own health to lead a more enjoyable life.

I suppose you support the banning of video games (so people can get some exercise) and sugary foods (so people eat healthily) as well?

The problem is that Marijuana stays in the blood stream for far longer than alcohol, and there is no effective test to determine how "wasted" someone is with Marijuana.

The half-life of THC is 24 hours in your body which means that, although you've become used-to the effects in your body, THC is still having an influence on you a days after you ingested it. Hypothetically speaking, if you went on a drinking binge on Friday and Saturday by monday morning you would be entirely sober; but if you ingested similar levels of THC you would be under the influence well into the week. This may be acceptable to stock-boys, but I certainly don't want my life to be dependent on someone under these conditions.

I never said that we should ban anything. Besides that, I do see now that my argument was flawed and I also think that the goverment should not have to do with anything regarding if we want to live healthy or not.

So are you in support of drugs/legalization of marijuana?

In support of drugs? Not at all. I'd never want to try any of the hard stuff myself. It drains your money, gets you addicted and slowly kills you.

I just don't think that you or I or the people we elect have any right to make that decision for other people, unless it's getting to a point where they are harming others.

This is double true for marijuana which scarcely has any negative effects in the first place.
