Why marijuana shouldnt be legalized

That why it starts w/you in your community,tring to educate is hard but everyone must know,that canibis has no ill effects exept for smoking it.If taken w/food or a vaporizer or pill form,there is not one harmfull thing that is happing to youre body...The reason people want this drug legalized is the jail time!!!who gets a rush from thinking you could go to jail for having some dope on ya??certinly not me!!that has nothing to do w/my high,if it when it becomes leagal in 10-20 yrs maybe sooner the price of weed will drop dramaticly.... educate when ever given the oppertunity

i think if it was allowed in the states, we would run into some problems, mainly more people going homless, becase you gotta think some dealers live off the profit they make from selling this drug.....

i mean theres good and bad sides to alowwing this to happen.
good
1.never run out of supply
2.being high at all times
3.able to walk down the steets with no worrys(of course they well make rules :( )
some bad.
1.more anti drug ad's(Isn't there enogh already?)
2.more people bitching about shit becase of weed
3.homeless ppl
4.Possible market pickup(for those ppl who don't wonna grow or can't)

i say we do away with all laws, but nooooo :(

What!!!!! Legalize the gunja? No way in helllllllllllllll

My opinion on legalizing pot is that it should be, just like alcohol. The government could make a lot of money on taxes. Save a sh*t load of tax payers money thatâ??s paying for leo busting ppl, and incarceration.

Alcohol is easier to make than it to grow pot. Some ppl make moonshine and sell it and donâ??t pay taxes on it. It would probably be the same with pot, but at honest innocent ppl could legally buy it with out worrying about getting busted or ripped off.

When I and all my friends started smoking it back in the late 60â??s, I thought that when my generation got older and started voting it would become legalized. I guess I was wrong. I canâ??t understand why though.

One of the big reasons it will take a long time to legalize weed is because of all the people who will be out of work. All the guards who wont be needed at our prisons when the inmate population plummets. The construction companies who will lose work when they aren't called upon to build new prisons. All the cops who won't be needed for drug enforcement.(of course there are always other drugs to enforce laws against but some cops will surely become unneeded.) And those people in the legal field who won't be needed to file papers, defend people in court, etc.
Now I realize that legalizing weed wil also create a staggering number of jobs, but remember that most people hate change so regardless of personal polotics those people who stand to lose their jobs will fight legalization, possibly just so they won't have to find a new job.
I'm not proposing a solution, just giving everyone something to think about, as this is a problem that will need to adressed when we make our move to legalize.

In many parts of the U.S. they've quit trying to legally define drugs except to say that possession of a hallucenogen is bad. I've been amazed at the botanical knowlege that must have been required to indentify obscure species on sight.Analyses of pineal glands are revealing that more and more well known drugs (or very similar compounds) are already in your body. More obviously, the circuitry that they trigger is already there. And there are so many claims that, when properly used, these substaces cure aids and cancer. No, it's not tiny quantities that are ruining peoples' lives. Having noticed that you almost never see the drugs as they are being found on police video, I think I have an idea of what sort of politics are in play here.

ohio has decriminalize weed

God, I would love to be in Amsterdam right now.

It's ok though, I have a way where I can get a little piece of Amsterdam to my doorstep :)

So wouldnt it make more sense to just make the punishment for having weed on you so small (like a 10$ fine or something like that) that the feds and the police won't even bother to try and catch people with weed. just a thought :rasta:

The people would not stand for it being made by large corporations and have them adding chemicals to it. More people would probably try to grow themselves if it did that.
