Marijuana legal or illegal?

[smokey]

Okay,
One thing that I would like for those who are interested in this topic to do is go to google and search:
"The Union, the business behind getting high"
I'm pretty sure this will answer most, if, not all of your questions.

the whole "society" and "crowd" that is associated with the drug is enough of a turn off that I wouldn't want to be labeled a pot head.

Same can be very much said about alcohol. Although for some reason it isn't seen as a taboo. Most people don't even realize that getting drunk every week-end can be seen as alcoholism.

Kids smoke Marijuana as a rebellious action, or at least that why I did it when I was young and unwise :P

If you legalize, what is going to stop other drugs from getting legalized?
Druggies will think that they can get one, why not others?

That is crap.. At this point, the government is just pissing me off. And they won't lower taxes. They are in it for personal profit..


I don't really know. I don't like it, and it has caused some problems with people I know, so I don't really think it should be legal. But yeah. I think smoking and certain alcohol should be illegal. But the people who abuse it would be the ones doing the shady deals. My family are hugely into alcohol, but we don't abuse it. Even I drink alcohol occasionally. But basically only in the privacy of my home.

The basis on which the gov. made it illegal in the first place, is illegal in itself. There is absolutely no reason why weed should be illegal, none. All myths that surround it are straight propaganda to fuel people like the poster of this thread.
