Marijuana:Illegilization was Unjust, and it should be Legalized Now

Let's eliminate some of your points right off the bat. The idea of a gateway drug is idiocy. I am taking this directly from a debate on this website, where it was deemed there was no such thing as a gateway drug. If Marijuana was a gateway drug: "Alcohol is a legal drug and is one of the substances that has been labelled as a gateway drug. But a brief look at the numbers will show that something is clearly wrong with the gateway theory. There are a huge number of people that drink. There are plenty of bars throughout this country that people flock to every night. The number of people that drink is clearly a very large one. But then look at the amount of people that do heroin. The number is significantly lower than the amount of people that drink. If one leads to another, then there should be a much higher amount of heroin addicts. Because one event follows another does not mean that these events are linked by any causality. There are plenty of circumstances under which one event can follow another, but have no causal connection." Here is a study that proves Marijuana has no connection to car accidents, in fact it could lower them. Marijuana smokers are more cautious, and drive slower because of altered time perception. This website has information on multiple studies of Marijuana and car accidents: http://www.norml.org.nz... You speak of the symptoms of a Marijuana overdose, this is the most unlikely thing that could happen to someone. In the United Kingdom, over 700,000 people die from alcohol overdoes, while no one, yes, not one person has EVER died from a Marijuana overdose. http://blogs.salon.com... You talk of Marijuana addiciton. Above is a study that not only shows, Marijuana use does not increase when prohibition is lifted, but it also shows that escalation of use over time, was only shown by 6% of respondants. This refutes the idea of addiction, where you slowly become resistant to the drugs affects, so you need more of that drug to get the same high. I'm now going to skip to your criticism of my title, because of the definition of unjust, using the very same website. I see the defenition unjust - marked by injustice or partiality or deception. I stated their illegalization of Marijuana was marked by deception. Wich it was, as I stated in my first post the campaign against Marijuana was marred by lies, and deception. Now you say that I am against the very constitution, that is another debate. This point is mute. Now when you say I am against the constitution because I disagree with the Supreme Court, that is a strange statement. Laws can be changed, decisions in the Supreme Court in the past, can be changed in the future. All I want is a change. And once again, this debate is not only about America, so you continue to throw at me reasons that it should not be legalized in AMERICA. Supreme court this, constitution that. "harmful and undesirable." I dont evenw ant to get into this statement but it appears I have lots of space left in my post, so here we go. "The goverment outlawwed a substance that WAS considered harmful." Was is a very important word there, past tense. And you also stated: "The Government outlawed a substance that was considered...undesirable." Yes, it was undesirable, read my first post. I havee refuted all your points but the loss of jobs in law enforcement agencies, this is becuase it will happen. The world runs on change, and when change happens sacrifices must be made. That is the sacrifice, although all these jobs WILL be replaced in the birth of the Marijuana industry, they will not be law enforcement jobs, but in the end legalization will create more jobs than it would destroy. After all the destruction of a single branch of the alw enforcement tree vs. the creation of a new tree. I choose a new tree. I await a response.
