I believe it should be legal as I believe in the right of freedom of choice when it comes to drugs etc. I have a few weed smoker friends and they all choose it as their lifestyle and are very happy for it. They are extremely nice, relaxed and fun people, more than can be said for alcoholics.
I smoke occasionally but not nearly as much as I used to as I prefer to take it in moderation. These people know the consequences and if it makes them happy who am I to tell them not to? Anyway that's my view of it. I believe it should be legal and also there would be less organised crime if drugs were legal and were controlled by companies, and taxed etc. 😛

Yes, in my opinion drugs should be legal. I think by legalising drugs you can address the real problems. Most illegal drug use is recreational anyway. With those who are suffering with real problems, whether its illegal or not they are going to get a hold of it. At least if it was legal there would be more help out there for addicts and people wouldn't look down on them so much in society.
There is so much bad information out there about drugs too, this would pave the way for teaching on it in schools etc. So people get a better view of what their doing. Its safer.
Another fact is that people are going to use drugs anyway. Most people have tried them and most people will try at least one form of drug in their lifetime.
Also I think if it was legal most people would just use companies rather than go down the criminal route. There is also so much violence and crime as a result of illegal drug dealing, also the people paying taxes for those who go to jail for using and dealing drugs. That would save billions in terms of the prison systems as if drugs were legal there would be less crime over it.
I'm not saying legalising drugs would solve all the problems but I think there is so many benefits from it than having them legal. Prohibiting them has been proven that its just not working. It causes so, so many problems in society. That being said, you'll probably think I am a drug user but apart from Marijuana now and again, I am not. :lol: I think people should have the free choice too.
The "discussion" is about marijuana - not drugs. Marijuana isn't a drug. Drugs are manufactured. Alcohol is a drug.

I don't smoke....but i agree 100% with this ^^
I'm agreeing with Anders on most of this.
Personally, I don't think marijuana should be legalized nor should other drugs.
I've never smoked it,
(Or done any other drug for that matter.)
Nor do I intend to so maybe I'm a bit biased.
And for those who think marijuana is not a drug:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_(drug)
Yes it is.
I am not anti weed (althoiugh i am against young people smoking heavily ) but you have to be real and non biased when lookin at the facts ....
your 4th fact is incorrect it can damage your mental health, causing memory loss, increased paranoia, insomnia and in some rare cases cannabis induced psychosis
Marijuana is a plant that contains a certain amount of substance(s) that alters your psychological ability if inhaled. Thus it's labeled as a drug, or more technically speaking, a psychoactive drug.
Yes, it's a drug. dumbass

No. You're absolutely right, believe it or not. Drugs are frowned upon by society for a very good reason and this is the internet where all the low-life degenerates meet up and try to defend their cause.

I hate to play semantics, but most forms of treatment/medicine are considered drugs as well. There are plenty of legalized drugs, that when injected into the body, help the body to fight off diseases (flu vaccine). Although it's obvious we're talking about legalizing an illegal drug with is a negative here, I just wanted to make sure we all don't misuse that claim for all drugs.
You'll find that some forms of treatment/drugs can have negatives and positives (symptons include: diarrhea, vomiting, headache, etc. If you see hallucinations, contact your doctor immediately). Especially the current psychoactive drugs used on patients to treat schizophrenia and mental illnesses of the brain, some of those drugs are not fully understood, but they're legal because the benefits outweigh the cost. Those drugs are not easily available on the streets like marijuana because creating such a pill would require quite the knowledge of chemistry (and money). Similar to those drugs, marijuana seems to have both positive and negative affects.
Marijuana is one of those topics that are covered in psychology courses and biopsychology courses that I (sadly) had to study. Legalization for medical use is pretty much considered okay from the APA after years of research, so I'm guessing until their opinion changes or a new discovery happens, I'll stick to that more so.
Anders does prove a point that it is more expensive than the street marijuana. One of the reasons is that, it's a market (anything with medicine attached to it is expensive it seems), the second reason is so that users for medical reasons don't re-sell them out in the streets. If they bought it at a much higher price, why should druggies buy back from them at that price? Druggy wants it cheap, the person that got it from the hospital wants to profit and sells higher. It's a ploy to separate those that actually need it for medical use, from the people that abuse the substance. Even while legalized, only a person that has a "marijuana card," which signifies they have the "okay" from professional diagnosis of a doctor, can have medical marijuana in the first place. It's still pretty much illegal for anybody else and I doubt the government would give the "okay" to rule breakers easily. But who knows, if I recall correctly from history, alcohol was something that the government of the US tried to make illegal.
But given the current conditions, would you deny medical marijuana for those that want to use it as medicine? They have nothing to gain at all.
Medical marijuana is legal when you get it legally and with a legitimate medical reason, so I'm not denying them anything?
That's actually not true for forty-four different states in the US where medical marijuana is not offered at all (same with Europe, there are some places that are still wondering if medical marijuana is okay). No hospitals in those places would offer it because it is illegal to have it. The illegal status of marijuana used to be so strict, that even Ph.D psychologists initially had trouble to research the chemical because the government refused to allow scientists to test them. Even today, that is still true, not all psychologists are allowed to do research with the substance. The initial question was whether we are for or against it, so I just wanted to throw in government regulated medical marijuana and see what the opinion is for that.
Edit: I apologize for not noticing a thread on medical marijuana. I just clicked from the front page. <.<
Of course... Everything 'bad' about weed should be labeled "all lies" because that's the way it is, huh? 🙂
Anyway, back to realism. I'm not going to say that marijuana is the worst drug out there, but it has been proven to cause depression, and really **** up your brain if you're unlucky. The fact that junkies like yourself keeps 'denying' all the scientific studies that have been made that are against the use of marijuana is not going to change anything. If you want to label it "all lies", then DEBUNK it. Preferably by using scientific measures, and not the old "It's all a Government conspiracy" clich?.
