Pot should be legalized, but not taxed, unless you are selling it for profit.

Okay.. I don't know if that was an argument or not, but I guess I will rebut it. I thought first round was acceptance. You didn't make it clear.Just to clarify, I am for a ban against pot/cannabis/marijuana.REBUTTALS:"Ganja is a plant that the politically correct tyrants, with the full support of both communists and capitalists in politics, have attempted to eradicate, without success as the human will of freedom, trumps all."Yes, they have tried to eradicate it for certain reasons, which will be in my arguments."Leave the people that grow their own alone.Stop trying to control everything (commies)"Okay, this statement is really flawed. So my opponent states to leave the people that grow their own alone, but their are many ways to live without growing this plant and growing something else, like food. Then my opponent states "Stop trying to control everything" then he states at the end "(commies)." Now, this statement is flawed because communism isn't made to control everything, it is made to give an equal amount of resources to the whole community/country. [1] Basically, communism is set so everything is fair, but it hasn't happened like that in the past due to the lack of resources, and it just can't be done. My opponent then states "Stop trying to profit off the control of everything (capitalists)" Which is technically true, but I am against cannabis legalization, so I can't make a profit off of it... because I can't sell it or it would be illegal. My opponent never said anything about medical cannabis. I would be making no profit off of it at all."If you both just ignored this plant, what would happen?"Well, major health issues would ensue, and the economy would get even worse than if cannabis was banned. Major health such as blood pressure rising uncontrollably, hallucinations, and depression/anxiety. I will explain more in my arguments."The herb is just a damn plant, remember when they started taxing tea?" Yes, but tea doesn't have any health effects...ARGUMENTS:Health/Physical Issues of Cannabis:Such symptoms/side effects of using cannabis are as follow:-Dizziness-Red eyes/dilated pupils-Shallow breathing-Dry mouth-Slow reaction timeNow, these symptoms can be fatal. Because of the slow reaction time symptom, cannabis users have a double chance of getting into a car accident if they are driving. [2] Not to mention that cannabis has chemicals inside that can cause cancer. In fact, about 70% of the chemicals are more cancer causing substances than tabacco products, such as cigarettes. Marijuana smokers smoke in three times the amount of tar that regular tabacco products have in them. [3] Marijuana is also found to cause schizophrenia, which is a huge brain disorder that can cause people to think that they are being controlled. Full blown anxiety is also involved with pot using, and it can cause panic attacks. [3]Economic failures in other countries/Not taxing it:Since my opponent believes cannabis should not be taxed if legal, I will prove why that is a stupid idea. For the highest quality of weed, it is about $300. [4] Because I live in Pennsylvania, I will tax 6.32% sales tax on it, considering if it was legal. It would come out to $318.69. I'm sure people addicted to it would be willing to pay the tax, and we would make more money. I am not propsing it to be legal, however, just showing that if it was legal, it should be taxed.Lets take North Korea for an example. Pot is legalized in North Korea, but it has not helped the economy in any way. Sony, the company in the USA, has a larger amount of money than North Korea. That is terrible, because a company has more money than your country itself. [5] The GDP for North Korea is $28 billion. [6] USA's is $17 trillion dollars, and we still have cannabis legalized in some states... so compared to North Korea, a country that has cannabis legalized, is struggling compared to a country with it banned mostly.
