Did you know if you do your homework, Mary Jane and LSD are safer than tobacco and alcohol.

We have our grandparents' generation to thank for fucking it up.

It really is because of that generation but to be honest, it would have happened anyways. Marijuana is illegal because of greed and racisism. The same shit is going on today.

Humans are smart enough to create but not smart enough to overcome. We are all doomed. Let it be us, our kids, or our grandkids, but no matter what way you look at it... we are doomed.

If you kill less people by smoking marijuana, than by drinking alcohol.
Than it should be legal.

no. i don't believe they should all be sold over the counter. some of them should be made available at stores and others should only be prescribed.

I'm against legalizing any drug, and would like to see alcohol and cigarettes done away with as well.

Would you agree that perhaps alcohol is worse than marijuana?
Pretty much. I never used to think so, but I think the fact that so many kids drink and drive is alarming. If I go somewhere with someone who is drinking, I always make sure they get home alright (or don't drive themselves). I don't want to sound like a hero, but I don't want my friends dead.

But since marijuana is safer than the drugs legally available, then why not? Alcohol can definitely ruin someone's life. Marijuana would only be able to do that is if you spent every penny you have to be able to smoke 24/7. Which can be fun every so often... but completely ridiculous. I've never met someone who is THAT dependent on the drug. And anyone who does have that hardcore of a dependency has a mental disorder to begin with.

Remember, no one has ever died of marijuana use. I'm assuming you believe all drugs should be illegal and I can totally understand where you're coming from. Its just that there are different people who enjoy themselves in different ways. People have been using drugs forever and by making it illegal has not, and will not, stop the use of drugs.

You have no idea how much I hate seeing ads for anti-depressants and sleeping pills. That shit is scarier to me than some guy who wants to take a bong rip.
I guess so, but I feel like I've experienced it first hand. My friend has regularly smoked for four years of high school and as of right now, his memory is totally shot. He's just one example of too much usage being detrimental. That may not be deadly but it sucks all the same. Making it legal would just make the usage more frequent. You could never stop drug usage all together.

No. Alcohol is bad enough, we don't need marijuana too.
Are you high?

Except, you know, this point is empirically denied as you can see in countries that legalized drugs.

Well, no one's going to listen to you because you're 16 and an idiot.

Fo sho.

I bet they listen to some really shitty music and just suck at life in general. Its not the drug, those people just suck. Like people who listen to ICP. They can smoke weed but if they didn't, they'd be just as retarded and still "down with the clown".

Alright, so I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the worst thing if it were legalized...but I still wouldn't smoke it or urge people to do so. My friends do and I don't think any less of them or anyone else who does, I just wish they wouldn't.

Some people just don't like getting high or getting drunk. I really don't like getting drunk that often. Unfortunately, I end up doing it too often. Thats a bigger problem.

Frankly, opinions like this make me physically sick. What gives you the authority to declare that no one else should do this? Are you allowed to determine where we live, what we breathe, what we eat, other things that have little bearing on others? Please, stop *knowing* what is best for other people.
