Legalization of marijuana

Thank you for your response.Pro has forfeited that her argument is was flawed and did not rebute any of my points, but rather, presented new arguments. 1. The government has every right to enforce laws. How else do you expect for it to stop.2. How is enforcing laws on the entire country of all races, racist?3. Taxing marijuanna will be expensive.4. Enforcing laws is not cruel. There is no benefit for taking unperscribed marijuanna. It only does harm.5. While I do agree on this point, drug addicts will take a lot more marijuanna knowing that it is legal6. Neither can kills and robberies and all other crimes.7. Irrelevant.8. Alcohol is fine under moderation. Tobacco is just bad for your health but it doesn't get inside your head. And even though what you said is true that doesn't mean marijuana isn't harmful.The rest of my opponents argument is mainly that enforcing marijuana has ruined lives. My opponent neglects to mention why these people go through this experience. Because they made the decision to take drugs. Marijuana is not neccessary and does only harm. Based on your story, you seem to say marijuana is a neccessary part of one's life and the government is sinning for depriving the country from it. I kindly ask my opponent to wake up and look at the terrible things that marijuana has caused.http://www.drugabuse.gov... "So basically, in summary, the government is wasting money on punishing people like Johnny for something that millions of people get away with."So therefore Johnny should not be punished. If people get away with murder, does that mean all of sudden we should make killing legal? And I think it is definitely not a "waste of time" because look at the results. http://www.cnbc.com..."Why does the government care so much?"I am starting to get the feeling you want to take marijuana. But ask and you shall recieve. http://www.freep.com..."Their job is to keep us safe"If you look at the sources I provided as to what marijuana has caused, the government would be doing a damn good job keeping us safe from this by enforcing laws."The government's job is not to dictate my life or make decisions for me."You still fail to understand that inevery democracy, there is limits and laws. Move to Somalia if you don't want laws. Killing is an example of a limit along with stealing."NO. WE LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY. IF I WANT TO SMOKE WEED, I HAVE THE RIGHT."Refer to what I said above and I would like to point out that you contradicted yourself again because this entire debate is how you don't have the right to do so. Pro also broke a promise and should lose conduct for that. "I promise I will not contradict myself." "Do you remember the Civil War and the women's rights movement? The African Americans and women didn't sit back and let he government control them. They fought back.. Against slavery! Against discrimination!" I can't believe a rational human being is saying enforcing marijuana is like enforcing slavery. I hope you can take a hint that they are not the same. If not I feel bad for you but I will kindly elaborate. "After he was released, Johnny was a different man" Proves why Johnny shouldn't have taken drugs. Your point just strengthened my argument. "Maybe he wouldn't have gotten into the drug business if marijuana wasn't illegal, and he didn't do to jail." There would be no need for the drug business because it would be legal. You are using circular logic. You are saying drugs being ilegal are bad because people become part of the drug business.
