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. 

We as civilized people should never support big, obtrusive nanny/police states. We should cherish our freedoms and fight for them whenever we must. We must not willingly allow big government to trample the freedoms of others just because we do not exercize the same ones. Imprisoning people degrades their quality of life considerably and we should only do so when it is a necessity, never for the sake of convinience. That being said, you seem to have disgusting misconceptions of marijuana, you really need to stop living under a rock. Also, if marijuana should be illegal because it is harmful then so should fast food, junk food, food coloring, pesticides, private automobiles, video games, plastic and rubber, caffine, milk products,etc...
