Why marijuana shouldnt be legalized

[arcticspyder]

errr, "the point of weed"? the point of weed is to fucking get stoned. if companies and/or the government distributed weed and if it was as potent or more than the weed we have now, then why the hell not? do you realize that if the government legalizes and sells pot, that it would get rid of over 60% of drug dealers? and it would get rid of a bunch of people who don't need to be in prison, saving a SHIT LOAD of waisted tax money.

a real stoner, or anyone who enjoys pot, would want it legalized.

Just to place another opinion on this topic. I have been smoking pot for more than thirty-five years, still grown to this day. I am for decriminalization and completelty again legalization. There is a major difference, with legalization you will get government controls, regulations, and modifications. With decriminalization, it simply removes any and all criminal punishment, for adults over the age of 18, for the growing, cultivation, possession, and smoking of marijuana. At the same time it puts in place a method to where by the government can still bring prosecution against people who deal to minors and who commit other crimes regarding other so called "soft drugs". If more marijuana activist would just listen to this arguement they would understand the fastest and best way to actual legalization would be first through decriminalization and then to legalization. More people would vote for than against. When asked recently why the voters OVERWHELMINGLY voted down legalization, in Alaska, the number one response was always something regarding needing a way to try and keep it away from kids. At the same time they all stated that if it were decriminalized for growing, cultivation, possession, and smoking for adults over the age of 18, while retaining criminal punishment for dealers, they would have voted in favor of decriminalization.
Just something to think about.

If marijuana was completely legalized, then it would end up being mass produced by big corporations. And if that happened, then wouldnt it ruin the point of weed? i mean look at what happened with tobacco. a completely harmless drug being smoked and grown naturally by the native americans. then the big business comes and takes half the high away from the tobacco, and puts all sorts of addictive crap in it to keep people Rating: 5
