Debate: Should Marijuana be legalized?
Side: Like, yeah man

Marijuana should be legalized BECAUSE it is dangerous. If 'dangerous' is the over-all term for anything that might shunt one from his formal, initial, eligible state of his body. An imaginary state of fully-functioning, flawless, ideal body. Structured by psychology, biology, culture and all kinds of institutions, to distinguish sanity from lunacy, health from illness, intelligence from ignorance. Though these are not the bad guys, of course, it's just that marijuana does change you, it does change your body, the way you think, thus the dangerous mark is understandable. The 'high' effect is an abnormal state that will never fit it with the standards. in fact, it changes people so much they often consider upper spiritual intervention and skip their way to the bible, only to find (or intentionally reinterpret) juicy quotes of Jesus puffing away - THESE are the bad guys. These people underestimate the abyss between themselves and the machine that produced the metaphors they use to explain their experience. The data field of it's effects is radically shaped by the method of learning it, thus a non-user and a do-user are both biased, the argument between the two always hides the law underneath it, which separates them even more. The point is that some day the do-user won't have the need of such self-deceit, just like most of us manage to live without defying the meaning of life.Stigma dissolving is not necessary, maybe not even possible, the stigma is not a merit of either side of the coin, it is the coin itself, the need to justify and 'OK' stamping one's inevitable position on either side demands the improvisation of rational evidence of truth. Once a full legalization is executed, there might be a radical separation and a birth-approval for new culture, new moral, new rationalism that neutralizes the holiness around such a nihilistic notion of 'reasonable behavior', new thought, new language, new engagement with whatever is or is not considered reality. While the non-user will embrace the whole coin to morph it into a monopoly of the whole opinion spectrum within the data field of marijuana study, and will create yet another standard, unifying abstainers as much as absence of activity can be conceivable as a common denominator. 'Users' will consider the activity as we all consider sugar, it just won't be considered at all.

Very very good argument. Stav, you are favored and friended for this. I still hold a conservative view towards it though. I don't mind the people doing it illegality, in fact the legality of it (or almost anything else for that matter) has little to do with my opinion. For those who are almost blindly opposing because of their fear of change or the likes, would find this post to be extremely helpful. I wish I could double vote you up.

A) It is already in process.B) I wouldn't think about a gay revolution as passionately as I do with drugs and the freedom of thought because no one can stop you from picking your favorite hole to love, and marriage is over romanticized paper work, authorized love. So the real problem is elsewhere, I'd say jealousy, whatever that may be thought of as sacred in the whole marriage thing is the undergoing conversation with the hottest couple around Genesis.And, you know, back then you needed a man and a woman, to make a baby.Alternative ceremony should be considered, maybe some LSD.

So as humans evolve, the way we do things and the way we think about things evolve as well creating something.... different (not necessarily better or worse but with a different set of pluses and minuses) . And since we are not entirely sure we know the entire set of pluses and minuses (due to the fact that it is new) we can't assign a value to those pluses and minuses thus we can't be sure if it's better or not. This uncertainty creates fear and fear holds us back from moving forward. But this fear is not necessarily bad because it may be keeping us from moving forward into quicksand. I guess in the end we wont really know until we try it. Lets send some scouts to pioneer the way.

Marijuana being illegal is part of the reason why people do it. It is a stupid reason, but a reason nonetheless. Legalizing marijuana, could potentially lower the number of users. The thrill of the chance of being caught gives them a high that's intensified by the drug. It outta just be legalized, and the government can tax the hell out of it like with cigarettes. It's your choice if you're going to do it or not.

Prohibition has been unsuccessful many times in history, just look at what happened during alcohol prohibition. It causes crime to go up because of the fact that it is illegal. The black market profits go way up because you can't legally obtain it, which causes violent crime to increase because of the existence of the black market. Prohibiting drugs also makes it "forbidden fruit" and taboo, which is a big reason a high number of teenagers and young adults use drugs.Doing drugs is a victimless crime and it should be a person's choice what they put in their own body, not the government's choice.

Does anybody know how much the American economy would grow if Marijuana was legalized? Listen, it's not the government's problem if people are irresponsible and mess up their lives with Marijuana, right? The government would make an enormous amount of many off of all the Marijuana sales, and we would be on our way back up, and I sincerely hope that President Obama decides to legalize it once he takes care of the war. (By the way, I still can't get over the fact that I can call him President Obama now. Yes!)

The Legalization of marijuana would lower are crime rates in the United States of America by at least 15 to 20%. A lot of the US citizens have either used, grew, or sold Marijuana and have gotten caught by the police if we legalized Marijuana we could put restrictions on the use growth and sells of marijuana so that he people who sell grow and use it can sell grow and use it just under certain restrictions.

I'm definitely for the legalization of marijuana, but there's something people need to realize.Just like with Tobacco, when Cannabis is legalized and FDA regulated, I can promise you the commercialized Marijuana product will be just as laden with polutants, chemicals and pure garbage as cigarettes are. It will become more expensive because there will be a tax on it, just as there is with tobacco and alcohol. It will become another government controlled commodity. That's why it's not legal. People die from drinking home made alcohol/moonshine. That has to be regulated, period. Tobacco isn't addictive and isn't as satisfying or nerve calming without all the additives, hence it's alteration from natural form. Marijuana is grown in backyards all over the world and needs no alteration from government entities for it to be popular or effective. There's no logical way for the United States government to intervene, control and PROFIT (key words here) from the potential Marijuana industry.

Good things if we legalized it (in the U.S.):If it was legal the government could regulate it and it could be dispensed safely. This would stop people from dying when their drugs have been modified in an unhealthy way. Second, we could tax the heck out of it. It's not the best solution, but it would help curb the government's budget problems. What about Industrial Hemp? That would help create a billion dollar industry, hence more jobs, and more money if the US exports and or imports it to different countries.Hemp is good for as a alternative fuel, food, clothing, paper, etc. That would help our environment greatly. Why cut down trees that takes over 80 years to fully grow while you can use hemp that fully grows per season?What about the waste of tax payers money called the war on drugs? It's a completely useless program that helps create more chaos by making drug cartels being stinking rich, do you really want the drug cartels to have such power?Bad things:Marijuana is proven to cause depression and change brain patterns in odd ways among other things. But there are many worse drugs. However if Marijuana was legalized there would be a push to legalize other drugs. Things like Meth and Estacy could be legalized, then we could say goodbye to civilization as we know it. Even if other drugs werent legalized after, Marijuana its still a gateway to a high feeling. And many, too many, will want to move on to larger highs, to drugs which have undoubtedly negative effects, to drugs which will annihilate your ability to think and function. So, in the end, my thoughts are not to legalize it, but to decriminalize it. It could be decriminalized for say, a personal amount. If you're caught over that amount you receive a fine. Charging and convicting people for personal amounts is a waste of tax money and court time. Nobody has ever died directly related to marijuana. Nor does is it cause much society problems unlike alcohol and hard drugs.

Do not be fooled by the multi-party politricks system which is often tied to selfish gain and short term ends. Which like the ancient kingdom of babylon seeks to impose its views by force at the expense of the majority to benefit the minority. Many of those in position of power to regulate laws are often helped along the way financially by the fat pockets of alcohol and tobacco lobbyists, whose industry continues to thrive because of their economic dominance which is being used to suppress the tree of life (marijuana), which if became legal would affect the corruption drastically on alcohol and tobacco which have been proven by medical research to pose a far greater threat to the health and well being of the population in comparison to the the healing herb of cannabis. So no I will not drink the cup of devils, but will continue to partake of the healing herb of marijuana which makes life pleasant even in the most trying conditions, for the life experience itself has manifested my legal right protected through the Charter of the United Nations which upholds the noblest aspirations of man without any distinction of race, sex , language and religion. My right is my right, just as a man has a right to drink wine or beer, which consequently is often brewed with Humulus lupulus (the hop plant) which only it and cannabis are of the same herbaceous plant group of Cannabaceae. 'Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise' Proverbs 20:1"Since in the scale of creation all men are born equal, it is imperitive that all laws should be equitable in their application, for what is the foundation of freedom and the reasons that men cherish it, if they are not equal before the law. The answer is clear to all of you." HIM Haile Selassie I

I've never smoked Marijuana before, nor any other drug. It should most definitely be legalized, and not just because, I'd feel more like doing it... I probably still wouldn't. It's because we need to stop imprisoning people for just smoking something that is naturally grown! Smoking pot is a victimless crime and prohibition doesn't work, it's time to move on.

I'm not that concerned with Marijuana. I'd never use it, and I don't let my boyfriend either. I think it is a cop-out and a rather stupid thing to get into. I don't mind it being legalized, though I'd rather it not. I'd even go so far as to say alcohol shouldn't be legal either. I don't, however, like the way these things are prosecuted. I'd rather see users treated like those in need of medical and psychological attention. There shouldn't be anything on their permanent records, they shouldn't go to jail or prison, and they shouldn't be stigmatized. Users should be sent through rehabilitative structures and helped to find better ways to spend their time and money. Educating themselves, expanding their minds, getting good jobs, having fun in more productive ways. Users should be helped towards a better, happier life without the need for mind altering chemicals. Pushers, however, are a different matter. Small-timer pusher and pushers of less dangerous drugs should go through the same services. But people selling deadly, horribly destructive drugs to people are partially responsible for their downward spiral. They should be punished, with jail time and prison time (depending on what they did and how they did it) followed by rehabilitation and job training/higher education.

You cannot say that because you'd rather not, it shouldn't be legalized. I agree though, for some odd reason (and I've put way more thought into the issue than I apparently should have) don't like the idea of legalization. Then again, I do know that once someone covets something, the first thing I want to do is keep it from them because I believe anything that is "coveted" cannot be a good thing for them...Er, you can see my arguments... they aren't pretty :^/.I don't know, I get the idea that this somehow has to do with morals or ethics, but it's only a feeling and when it comes down to it, my "practical" side says that it should be legalized, but still, I don't like people doing it... which is not the case with drinking.So why do you think that people shouldn't?
