| oldschoolfool said: I know there's a marijuana thread,but I wanted to debate this specific topic. If the mods close this thread,then I'll understand. So,why should marijuana be legal. There's no real benifit 2 it at all. All it does is make you a lazy unproductive member of society. What good does that do to be high all the time and do nothing in life,but live for that high. Anybody that wants to use it for medical purposes is just using that as an excuse to get high. according to my reading,the drug produces anxiety,fear,distrust and panic. It also affects your posture,coordination and reaction time. It can also cause dellusions and hallucinations. it can also increase heart rate and cause sleep impairment. How does all that give you these magical medical benefits. I just don't understand what's so great about this so-called magical drug. For the record,I don't understand the point of booze and tobacco,but those things are legal. Why make just another bad thing for you,legal. It benifits no one. If I had my way,booze and tobacco would be outlawed. There's no benefit in any of these things. |
Because it's magic. 
No seriously, I'm convinced that if you legalize there will be less criminal activities around it. In my country it's legalized at coffee shops and you see that there is less criminal activities around this drug. The only mistake our country has with this, is that growing cannabis (more then personal use) is illegal. So this means that large scale productions are still in criminal hands.
Also in terms of healthy or not, from what I know Cannabis is more healthy then Alcohol etc. The most lethal part in smoking cannabis is the tabacco which is used to smoke it!!
