Should marijuana be legal?
#15
But smoking marijuana kills so many brain cells, I think alcohol does the same thing, but during cigarette breaks, people don't go drink a beer.  However, if marijuana were legal, they'd probly go smoke marijuana, as a lot of people would on a regular basis, causing a decline in the quality of everything (work, school, etc).
Quote:

Several people do go drink a beer or more for lunch, that doesn't make it right or wrong.  I would probably vote for its legalization, but only for one reason: CONTROL.  You can't control what you don't regulate.  Banning or making something illegal creates a market for it.  Without regulation, it is too profitable to fight.  Make drugs legal and watch the profitability go down.  No more crime becasue it isn't as expensive or hard to get.  You don't see many murders over someone trying to buy beer or cigarettes.  Bring drugs out into the light of day and watch them dry up.  Have to go into your corner market to buy marijuana or any other recreational drug and see how many people will actually do it.  Most people are embarassed to buy condoms at the pharmacy, let alone drugs.  Cockroaches only flourish in the dark, turn on the lights and they scurry.  Imagine how much is spent on the "War On Drugs".  What if cocaine was legal??  How much could the US have made on taxation rather than fighting it?  You can't stop it.  Our government fights issues on morality rather than determining whether it is plausible or the right solution.  Our own CIA flooded the market in the late 70s or early 80s by "accident".

I'm not saying it is right or wrong to take drugs, drink, smoke or anything else.  I'm not trying to say it isn't harmful.  To me it isn't a moral issue, but one of decreasing crime and spending while increasing revenue.  You don't get very far squashing individual cockroaches.  You figure out a way to get them all at once.
