Why cannabis SHOULDN'T be legalized

[Purple Banana]

I highly (pun intended) doubt your friend is truly "addicted" to pot; that's like an addiction to caffeine, mild, but unpleasant to get rid of. Anyway, most American are addicted to caffeine. Second of all, who the hell are you to say a lot of people with chronic pain are using it just for fun? Have you ever had chronic pain, AIDS, or cancer? I have chronic pain, and the so-called addiction of cannabis is MUCH less damaging to someone's body than a hard-core addiction to opiate pain killers. It truly does help my pain, and who are you, or ANYONE to deny me that? I am an intelligent young woman in college, with a 3.8 GPA, and a good-paying job, and I don't fit the GOVERMENT-FORCED steriotype of a video game-playing "stoner" who smokes pot every day, irresponsibly. That steriotype applies to those few in high school who use it irresponsibly because they lack education on it. I was reading in my monthy nursing journals (Mom's a doctor, dad's a nurse, and they both approve) and there was an article that polled doctors in residency and practice who have used cannabis in the past month, and the figures were somewhere around 55% for those who have smoked it; those who polled yes who have been practicing for over 10 years have had less lawsuits and stress-related medical conditions than those who didn't smoke cannabis. To ask if cannabis should be legalized is completely useless, ESPECIALLY in this message board. You seem really flip floppy on the subject.

I live in a small town and I know two people who are doctors here that are pot smokers...nothing wrong with them.

[stonedaged]

decriminalization is the way forward

[Markass]

Yeah, legalize it so it will cost more, taste worse, and be less potent. Government-operated coporations mass-producing a thin brown version of the Holy plant. Sounds delightful.

Hmm...Too bad it's a plant and you can grow whatever kind of marijuana you want whereever you want?

Grown people should have the right to choose whats better for them. Prescrition drugs kill but are legal so as tobacco and alcohol. Depression kills too. Marijuana is the safest drug i ever used.:rasta:
If you dont want to do it just dont do! And remember: Stupid people blaming drugs for their problems will always be there. Think for yourself!!!:thumbsup:

yes indeed, you must think for yourself and do your own reseach rather than listening to people and propoganda (which is not science)

Those drugs are even worse but not enough people abuse them anyway which is why they're not that big of a problem.
Did enough people smoke weed in the past?

Not enough people smoke salvia. If people smoked as much salvia as they did with weed, then it would be an issue. Oh wait, it is, isn't it? There's already an issue with that kid commiting suicide. That's just a start.
It's already all over the news these days. Kids are abusing salvia. Salvia IS becoming an issue.
What is NY doing right now? They're making it illegal.
Soon the whole country might do that.

I believe it wasn't until way later that weed became an issue and too many people started abusing it. Nowadays we smoke weed a whole lot more than we used to.

Wow Im guan go buy a shit laod tommarow then.


Hell if they make it illegal im guan buy as much as I can then sell it in a year or two for three times what I paied!

I look at it like this...
The american government know it dosent do half the shit they put in those adds.
so why dont they legalize it and regualte it. Yeah it might cost twice as much but you would be sure to get the best stuff and we could proboly get out of our trillion$ defacit :dance:
