Who questions the US laws against marijuana? Whether in the US or another country, should it be illegal?

I just want to see what you guys think of this issue.

They can't make their damn mind up in the UK, it's a joke - we get some really good strong weed over here and loads of people smoke it, they keep upgrading and downgrading its classification from almost legal, to serious punishments for dealing.

It should be legal no doubt, it's no worse than alcohol for sure and as such should have similar regulations implied on it, no smoking in public apart from licenced areas etc, Holland has the right idea, it should be a personal choice if people want to have a few joints to chill out and relax.

That's exactly how I feel. It's a natural herb that is used to intentionally alter your mind. In many ways its better for you than alchohol and in many ways it would be absolutely no issue if properly regulated.

I think it should be legalized, but regulated: such as 21+ to purchase, no underage dealing/selling, restrictions on where you can do it, and restrictions on re-sale/quality/distribution.

Those cigarette taxes really do get annoying. Thank God I'm quitting (again).

Weed by itself is much more safe then beer however, when you mix it with ciggys (like most people do) it then becomes alot more bad for you because of the crap in the tobacco. If the government over here made it legal, yes it would get taxed like hell and since its very easy to get weed now 'n' days the government would lose alot of money. So therefore it becomes illegal again, and the process starts over again.

I use to smoke it everyday untill I realized how much money I was actually spending on it per week. It was crazy amount. I thought my tabacco habbit was expensive.

If you need drugs to get high and relax, then there is something really fucked up with you.

I and many others can enjoy myself without having to take any shit.

As always, drugs are for losers, whatever the effect it has on the body.

Only time you should be taking drugs is when you got a medical problem.

But anyhow, for the ones who do take, hurry up and overdose already, dont need selfish people that in this world.

Just say that. We don't want to hear, nor do we care about your patronization.

Do you support the prohibition of alcohol as well?

Also, there's quite a few interesting studies that show that Marijuana is much less harmful to the body than we thought. (link)

And just so you know, you can't overdose on Marijuana. Alcohol, on the other hand...

Do you drink? Do you get tipsy or drunk ever? Why do you need to be? Isn’t that just the same thing as what you’re saying?

Replace your whole post with beer. Let’s try it.

Personally I don't do drugs. Now if you don’t drink and you agree with what I’m saying, then sorry for the accusation. If you do drink then stop being a hypocrite.

There's nothing wrong with people choosing not to do drugs.

I do so responsibly and it's fine, but I can certainly understand why some people don't want to take the legal risk.

taxes on it really wouldn't be a problem and you could guarantee the quality of the weed as well as having a decent choice of strains - I pay £20 for an 8th or 3.5g about 90% of that will be profit to various dealers, the government wouldn'y charge that much by a mile and all the additional funding would support huge amounts of additional funding for the nhs, advice and support for users and regulating the sales of it, with a fair chunk left for the government to piss up the wall on nothing.

A note in a different direction here, the tax on british cigarettes is enough to pay for the ENTIRE nhs bill four times over, so don't moan at smokers when they need to use it's services.

Well he reiterated Ty's idea, just assumed the guy drinks, and phrased what he wrote to show the guy's suspected hypocrisy in a horrible way.

I know there was no reason to attack him, and I don't really know why I did. I'm sorry. I guess I'm just a little too tired. ^_^
