Drug Legalization?

[Sam The Egg]

Legalize it. The people who don't want to take the drugs still won't, but people won't get arrested for possesion which will free up the prisons and all that.

I am for the legalization of Marijuana ... I personally dont smoke it but I know a lot of people who smokes on occasions and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Like with alcohol you shouldnt drive while HIGH .... hehe ha ha

Agreed I have seen too many of my friends do time for nothing less than a quarter oz. of pot. But yet people who commit domestic violence crimes and shit like that get off scott free. Mind boggling

Former abuser of drugs (mainly hallucinogens and alcohol) saw friends drown in heroin, very devastating. Pot should be legalized, it is not addictive but it should be controlled like it is in Holland.

Prohibition = Violence, High Homicide Rate, and Murderers, Rapists, Child Molesters free to roam the streets

Non-Prohibition = Safe Streets, Lower Crime Rates, and Enough Space in Prisons to put REAL CRIMINALS like Rapists, Child Molesters and Murderers!

We did this survey in class one day and I was the ONLY person for legalization of Marijuana.

First of all, I'm a pretty wholesome kid, my dads a cop, no one in my family drinks, does drugs, or smokes, so Im not going to be using pot myself. But come on people. Smoking cigarettes does more damage to your body than Pot! Legalizing pot would free up prisons, we could tax the sale, I think it would even make the demand go down a little bit because it isnt as "rebelious" anymore, so less teens will do it to piss their parents off. Obviouslt there should be laws against driving etc. under the influence, but IMO it should be just like cigarettes, if you want to do it, go ahead.

However, I also believe that alcohol, being just as addictive and dangerous as any other drug, if not more so...should also be illiegal...No one will agree with me on this one...That's fine, I'm not here to try to convert anyone...Only stating my opinion...

BTW...I am already aware of the many perils of prohibition, so we need not go there either:rolleyes: :)

I agree with you.Alcohol is way more dangerous then weed.I mean think about it have you ever heard of a person under the influence of marijuana get behind the wheel of a car and kill someone??No if theres one thing that should be against the law it is alcohol.And to the person that said leagalize all drugs well your nutts.Even if you regulate drugs and leagalize it,its still going to cost money and im sorry to say this but if your so broke you have to kill somone for drugs then what makes you think they wont kill if it was regulated ,considering it will still cost money for them to obtain it??

Really? Then IF we legalize drugs then the authorities would be to high to judge who the "REAL CRIMINALS" are. There goes your safe streets and lower crime rates...;)
