I'm completely against using drugs, but I do think it should be legalized. However, I think they should have laws against being high in public.

Through legalization marijuana will be taxed, and there will be quality control. Everyone wins.

If you want to make drugs illegal based on how dangerous they are for the human body to consume, we should ban alcohol and make marijuana and many other safer drugs legal.

That's never going to happen, so that line of logic isn't going to work.

I think all drugs should be legal, even the crazy ones, because I don't think it's the government's job to tell me what to do with my body. I think doing any drug should be as legal as masturbating or getting a stupid tattoo or chopping my own finger off.

While I agree with the sentiment that people should be able to do what they want to do, provided they don't harm others, having highly addictive drugs such as cocaine readily available for consumers would not be a good thing.  Sure, you may choose to use the drug once or twice, but after you become addicted, all choice goes out the window.  And it's so damn easy to get addicted.

Though I suppose they could HIGHLY tax drugs such as these to dissuade people from buying them, as much as I hate taxes.

In the end, I just don't think it's a good idea.



Legal I guess, but I won't buy it. I boycott drugs

I'm all for the legalization of Marijuana for reasons stated above (economic growth, less unemployment, happy people, less workload on the polise). Hell, I'd even like to see some government controlled acres of land filled with the stuff so we can have competitive prices. (Here off course it is not so much a question if it should be legal, rather how it's handled.)

But I do have to stop you at Hard drugs Rubang. The government puts rules in place for the mere fact that we cannot regulate ourselves. Sure, some people will but a lot will not. For instance, how fast would you drive on the freeway, or in the city if there weren't any laws on speedlimits? How fast will other people ride? Would that still be safe for other users on the road?

Same with harddrugs. Marijuna (and an assortment of softdrugs like Paddo's, XTC etc.) do not make you addictive over night. Or after a couple of uses. Crack? Meth? Heroïne... those substances have a pretty big possibility to make an addict out of you right after the first use. And believe me, the costs of for instance heroïne addicts (medical costs, cost from criminal activity) would make all the gains from softdrugs a mood point...

Make it legal in the US. You will have a bunch more jobs being created. Pump a whole bunch more money into the economy. Maybe it could help us get out of the recession.
Thats before it gets outsourced to India. Just kidding.



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

legalize it. oh no over here it is already somewhat legal

We call places where they sell pot coffeeshops, and it is completely legal to buy 5 gram each.
Only thing is, here in the Netherlands they have made a mess of it by creating a policy that allows you to buy pot in designated (coffee)shops but it is illegal to grow pot(at least more than 3 plants that is).
(anyone remember Pulp Fiction opening?)
So it is really interesting to grow your own pot (illegal), and make huge profit and a lot of people do so... If only the government would completely legalize it and take production into their own hands. That way i think they can really do something about the illegal money-making and make it much less interesting for dealers/criminals.
