After being told weed is a "killer drug" all my life, just like the U.S is the GREATEST COUNTRY
EVER, I decided to find out for myself. After 2 years of smoking nearly everyday, save a 3 month
hiatus to test withdrawal effects (experienced none after quitting cold turkey after smoking every
day for over a a year), I have found no detrimental effects on my body. After smoking weed for
about a year and a half, I picked up smoking cigarettes from my job as a waiter, and after only 3
months of smoking I found myself coughing and hacking with a greatly reduced lung capacity, and an
addiction to the cigarette. After THREE MONTHS. Two years of weed smoking, nothing. Cigarette
smoking effects became apparent very soon. There is no scientific proof that weed is poisonous if
it is natural. Exstacy is not natural, cocaine is made from natural things but produced by a very
non-natural way, heroin and acid and all those things are not natural. Weed is. Cigarettes kill
thousands and thousands a year. Alcohol kills thousands and thousands a year. PROVEN. Proven deaths
from marijuana? ZERO. Why is alcohol still legal? I'm all for alcohol being legal, but it makes no
sense to have Mary Jane illegal when it just suppresses youre energy and makes you basically a couch
potato.... A very creative couch potato, with no motivation to go out and kill people or do stupid
things, except maybe eat one too many double cheeseburgers. If marijuana was legal it would lower
drug traffiking related crimes, increase honest american jobs, and with hemp and cannabis products
we could make paper, medicines, plastic, textiles, food, natural oils, and even construction
materials. Look it up. And to those of you acting like you know the effects of weed and then clearly
stating that you have never smoked weed, get your prejudice out of here until you actually know what
you're debating about =-).
LEGALIZE IT |

Of course it should. |

I don't "take" it or "do" it but if those who drink the legal poison we call "alcohol" were all
smoking instead of drinking, we would have fewer lost lives and fewer destroyed families. It's
ignorant to have a life destroying substance legal and a non-life threatening substance illegal.
It's ridiculous and ignorant. |

If people want to take marijuana then they'll do so regardless of it's legal status.
Do those that refrain from marijuana do so on the basis of a personal conviction that it is wrong to
do it?
Or is the only reason they're not all potheads because someone else is telling them not to do it, do
they have no self control?
It is a victimless crime, as are all illegal drugs. The illegalization of them has led to the
propping up of many criminal organizations, prostitution, etc. The fact is that the police will
never be able to get drugs off the street and by trying to do so they are only making themselves
look ineffective and so people have less respect for them.
In addition, drugs do more harm when they're illegal rather than legal. E.g If they're illegal then
the demand will vastly exceed the supply and so criminals can charge ridiculous amounts for them.
Also because they are illegal they do not have to conform to any standards and so are made 'impure'
by criminals so they can make more money. It is these impurities that are very dangerous e.g. Heroin
in it's pure form has less long term negative impacts than alcohol.
If drugs were legal they would have to be sold in pure form, criminals would not profit from them
and people wouldn't turn to prostitution to meet the high prices criminals charge. |

It seems crazy that it is perfectly legal for people to buy as much alcohol as they like, and the
city centres in the UK suffer every weekend from alcohol related problems making them no go areas
for a lot of people. This problem then moves on to the police and the A&E departments of hospitals
as they try to cope with the resulting injuries to people from drunken related violence etc.
If cannabis was legal in the UK, I would hazard a guess that these alcohol related problems would be
reduced. I also think it is a policy that would be worth a try, but assume that no politician would
be willing to stick their neck out on this issue as the they would undoubtedly have it chopped of by
the Daily Mail reading people of Middle England who think all drugs are the same, whereas cannabis
is fairly lightweight compared to most other drugs including alcohol. |

In 2001 The home secretary David Blunkett announce the planned reclassification of cannabis, for a
class b to a softer class c drug.
That was implemented in 2004.
By 2007 the use of cannabis had risen so much in the young, that the decision was mad the reclassify
it back, to the more dangerous category of a class B drug.
It did not help the cause any, that half a dozen cabinet ministers admitted to having, at one time
or another, had a toke or two.
Far from legalizing the ganj I believe, will become increasingly unacceptable. |

Basically either way i wont smoke it. Legal or not.
But my closest friends act liked they have a fetish with weed and basically put weed first in their
life. And was subject to much apathy... |

No way sucka. Then? My lousy-neighbors would be openly Stoners by my house, and I could not kick
their @sses for smoking that sh!t in my vicinity - at least now they only act like the cockroaches
that they really are: Run and hide when I smell something funny, and go see who is the source of
that horrible smell like a field is no fire or something equally as nasty....
Hope no one is stupid enough to actually legalize that cr@p.
People who smoke anything are retards. Especially pot. |

No. It causes social-lethargy and stupidity, as far as I can see in those who do that. I have never
smoked it or anything myself, nor wanted to, I despise drugs and the idiots who use them. No
apologies for it.
I value Intelligence above most things, and ANYTHING that would hamper or hinder absolute
Intellectual-Capacity is criminal.
To legalize Idiocy is criminal. Only by prescription for terminal cancer patients only.
Anything else is Irresponsible, and Immoral. |

Don't see why we allow greedy companies sell either booze or cannabis. On the other hand on the
streets people push drugs to get a better economy of scale. |

I read the debate response of Momof3, and it is a good one.
I am convinced, in a way.
Outlaw alcohol, and do not legalize pot.
Get rid of all that cr@p.
Jack Daniels should be by prescription for sore-throats only.
Pot should be by prescription for terminal cancer patients only.
Anything more than this cometh of the evil one;-) |

Pot does absolutely hurt people, they may not know it, but it does. Pot clogs veins 3 time faster
than cigerettes.
The tars in the pot load up the air sacs in the lungs and make oxygen less absorbable.
Any chemicals in the ground or used on the plants while it is growing, is rapidly absorbed by the
body. Selenium is a necessary brain chemical, but too much selenium is very bad for you. Arsenic is
a common substance in the ground, you can't see or smell it, but it builds up in your body, and
slowly poisons you to death....painful also.
If pot was legalized, the medical cases that came from these problems would out do cigerette smoking
by far.
Not to mention that pot is a gateway drug, that leads to other drug use.
And I try to repair the messed up lives of people who like to play with drugs. Not just their lives,
but everyone they care about.
No, on legalizing drugs. |
