Should cannabis be legalized?

[cannabis campbell]

its either yes or no what does none of the above mean its either yes or no

I'm one of the assholes who said no. Weed would be so damn expensive over the counter... Look at cigarettes. A pack of cigarettes I remember used to be about 4$. Now it is between 6 and 7. Too crazy. I'm not gonna pay the government for them to allow me to smoke weed when if we just stay smart we can smoke it in secret. And legalizing it would lead to a nastier black market... Potentially more smuggiling and theft and sh*t. Don't worry about the government it won't make a difference what they say... we'll still do what we want.

I say YES! Not just the FEmale,but the MALE too! http://www.ecofibre.com.au/otherprods.html http://www.suffolkhousing.org/pages/hempage.html www.hemp4fuel.com These would be MY reasons!

A couple of hundred years ago, Richmond, VA (or somewhere in Virginia) passed a law requiring farmers to grow hemp. 1915 was the first anti-marijuana law.

We have the first in 1619 and again in the 1700s,at one time you were arrested for NOT growin' it!

actually schedule 1 drugs are in along the lines of weed, raw opium and LSD and are illegal to have no matter perscription etc in most states, heroin and cocaine are schedule 2 which are allowed in perscriptions, prolly for addicts..

according to this anyway... http://www.addaction.org.uk/Drug_law.htm

[halo]

no, heroin is a schedule 1 drug. Cocaine though is schedule 2 as you said. Funny, cocaine is legal with a perscription but cannabis isn't. I wonder if any doctors actually perscribe coke anymore?

I don't have time to read over this whole thread so I'll just make my points and hope no one else already has.


Marijuana should be legalized or at least considered for legalization. Pot is no different than any other intoxicating agent. We legalize alcohol which is much more intoxicating, known to cause deaths, [due to overdrinking and diving while drunk] Marijuana should be made legal. There should be restrictions on it just like with tobacco and alcohol. There should be a legal age for use. The government could easily put restrictions on it. Sure, there would be kids doing it underage, but how many do we have already doing it? If it was made legal for sale and distribution, it would cause major trafficers to loose business making it less readily available to kids underage. The government could take profits from sales and fix things which are of bigger concerns, like our wide open boarders for instance. We're [The U.S. Government] always bitching that we don't have enough money to hire the officers to patrol the boarder, but the only reason for this is because we pass up opportunites like these.

On the other hand, if it was legalized that would lead to legalizing other, more dangerous drugs. Where do we stop?

I don't know what the right or wrong answer in this case is, but in my opinion the pro's out weigh the con's.
