Should marijuana be legalized?
The legalisation of drugs, particularly that of soft drugs like cannabis (or marijuana) is capable of being characterised as one which pits the concept of freedom of the individual against the concept of a paternalistic State.
No, marijuana (cannabis) should not be legalized

28 de June de 2009 | 4:16 pmI feel that it should not be legalized because even if it is business policies probably would not change. Just because it becomes legal, a business have the right to reject employment to someone who smokes pot, a business does not have to change it’s policy and do not have to accept it. On one other note, me going into law enforcement, cops, city management personnel, or other jobs in the criminal justice field, will not accept their employees smoking pot. Im pretty sure alot of cops want to smoke pot, but departments will not tolerate this. Also will they put an age limit on this like alcohol, or will their be more kids addicted to it than they already are. Therefore you must work in this economic craziness, so would you choose a drug over employment. Companies policies do not have to change just because the state statute change.

Tobacco and alcohol eventually must be banned as well.
But stuff comes first cause it makes people stop controlling themselves faster than other things.0 0

yes. I know other drugs more dangerous that are legalized. Marijuana is good for some kind of pains.

because its a choice

Hell, if tobacco is legal, why shouldn’t cannabis?

IT’S NATURAL. There has never been a recorded death by marijuana. Everyone smokes it, and will smoke it anyway. It will stimulate the economy (and god knows we need that) and it would make everyone CHILL OUT.

This debate has gone on long enough! The DEA, the police, and the government should realize that weed is literally less harmless than cigarettes. I still to this day have not found a good reason for why it should be illegal. I still do not understand why it is ok to get drunk, drive around, and go home and beat your wife, but it’s still not ok to light up a spliff at the end of a long day and relax while nothing bad happens to you at all. I smoke weed and drink all the time, and i have gotten into way more trouble over alcohol then weed, not just with the law, but with alot of things. Marijuana chills you out and makes way for a great social experience for you and your closest friends to enjoy. The only reason i’d ever been given for why weed is bad is because “it is illegal”. So, MAKE IT LEGAL!!! IT WONT BE BAD AT ALL. OK, so i guess since drinking isnt illegal, it’s still ok to get drunk, go out, kill someone, lose all consciousness, and itll just be fixed with a couple yrs in jail. The government needs to get real, just because it is illegal doesn’t mean its bad!

It’s awesome.
22 de April de 2009 | 1:47 am
YES. it would take drug dealers out of the game, not as many deaths, never been a recorded death from marijuana, it’s fucking herbal, and awesome, and makes you fucking explore the depths of your mind.

its safer than alcohol!!!

Because it is far safer than many things some people consume legally on a daily basis (i.e. cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, ritalin*, anti-depressants, aspirin, aspartame, saccharin, etc.) There are so many reasons why it should be legal, there isn’t enough time for me to possibly list them all. Between the medicinal uses and the sustainability of the plant, the possibilities for it and reasons why it should be legal are endless.
Individual liberty is the biggest one for me though, IMO. NO ONE has the right to tell someone what they can or can’t do with their own body. If God himself gave me the will to choose, there is no man that will take that from me. “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you” Genesis 1:29 The Government has no business imposing subjective moral law on a supposedly “free” republic. To end the hypocrisy and suffering, we must end the Drug War!

The reasons why marijuana should be legal are endless and the harm it causes is so minimal it’s almost harmless. Fight harmful drug abuse and end marijuana prohibition.

yes, the prison population wouldn’t be overcrowded for stupid shit and our tax dollars wouldn’t be wasted feeding the innocent while in incarceration. and it’s not really as harmful as people say

The one who said no needs to learn that science shows it doesn’t lead anyone to try drugs that they otherwise never would have touched. If they try other drugs, it’s a choice that has nothing to do with their marijuana use.
I say yes because marijuana can’t cure advanced stage cancer, but it eases it and gives your some more time on this planet. Instead of killing you. The chemo killed my mother before the cancer had a chance to.

Cannabis is rather better than any kind of alcohol.
