Marijuana should be legalized and should be taken seriously as a medicine.

Marijuana was found in a student's locker. His whole family was deported. He committed suicide. My attorneys have reviewed my prediclement and have advised: (2) A negative may choose a third option and argue both alternatives provided by the resolution. This is a good rule. It makes better debates. This is a good application of that rule. It allows many facets of a complex issue to be presented without worrying about details like are they pro or con. It also allows myths to be addressed effectively by both parties. Attorneys should have that option also and the courts would clear out their backlogs in no time and there would be no attorneys. The AMA says there is no medical use for MJ. It's illegal everywhere on Earth except at the bottom of the ocean and in orbit so how can it be good? There's not much corruption caused by MJ prohibition since MJ laws are fairly enforced and corruption is a good thing anyway. It provides jobs and that is important. Drug testing is big business. It's done by probably the same people that run private prisons so that cuts out the middle man. The private prisons have much better opportunities for escape since they want you to come back and bring all your friends because that is big profits. Some jail time is good anyway because you can meet lots of new contacts and growers there and lots of other drugs too. If those loadies would learn their lesson but they will just go back and smoke it again. They are no good for the Army and they can't hold a job so that difference does it make that they now have a felony record? In fact that makes it easier to score. Families get tired of one another and it is a good thing for some of them to go to jail once in a while. These prisons, especially private prisons, are just making the problem worse and so that is why we must build more of them. They don't cost very much anyway and are a real good investment in a time of economic crisis since they reduce the unemployment rate. The issue of what drugs Joyce's grandchildren should or should not get is beyond the scope of this debate. Well if you are going to kill your family anyway just have a candy bar first, it will be a lot better defense than the Muggles Defense. Now we know the dog is a natural high and is going to end up killing everybody. I reefer to "Mr. Muggles", the pet pomeranian of the Bennet family in the NBC drama "Heroes." He will be going postal in an upcoming episode. I can't say any more. http://www.erowid.org... Yes but weed in the National Forest is a victory nonetheless. They have to eradicate it anyway. It's the law. Pretty soon it'll be the National Parking Lot and the only thing that will grow there is weed. In fact why don't we just GE a virus to kill all the plants except cannabis. That'll show them. High-mountain Michoachan or Oaxacan is the best of the brickweed. If you are buying BC bud in New York you are paying way too much for it. A better deal is to trade your cocaine for it, as the movie http://www.AGrowthIndustry.info... points out; that's worth a lot more in BC. Vaporizers are a great help for COPD. http://www.hippy.com... If cannabis were made legal in the U.S. everyone would move here. Joyce's grandchildren are selling drugs and she is just protecting their territory. In fact this proves that pot turns you into a pedophile. If they would legalize cannabis, loadies wouldn't have to hang out at the middle school to score. Joyce's children also are still in school. They have joined SSDP and she has disowned them and narked on them. They are now serving multiple life terms so it is the prison school which does not have an SSDP chapter but it sure has drugs so others in SSDP will carry on, bringing drugs to Joyce's grandchildren. What are her children doing having children while they are still in school? I'll bet SSDP is at the bottom of this. SSDP is a giant drug cartel. That is the only explanation. Where else would Joyce's grandchildren be getting the stuff? If cannabia were legalized Joyce's grandchildren would be out of business. Now that we can see her agenda it is much easier to counter. Joyce's grandchildren will soon be dealing crack and will lose interest in weed since we all know that MJ is a gateway drug. Have you talked to your parents about Joyce Nalepka? http://daregeneration.blogspot.com... http://www.highbeam.com... Her rationale for student drug testing was to save kids' lives and reduce drug-related school problems. But student drug testing is most likely to detect MJ since it stays in the system the longest. And MJ has no harmful effects except it makes you want to kill your family. http://www.erowid.org... So the student drug testing will not contribute to safety at all anyway since the students' families do not attend school. This is a call-in show so let's have some questions and comments in the comments. What is my opponent doing in his picture? I have ten hours and three KB left so let the ranting begin. Serious debaters make jokes about online debating and for good reason. Our educational system, inter alia, is in a shambles. Inter alia means among others such as justice. To use their jargon, the provision of open courseware by utilizing distance technology. Every class should be a debating class. http://www.finitesite.com... http://www.debate.org... We need to get our debating together.
