My point is, it'll give employment, good tax, and population control.
Keeping them illegal will give you more people in jail and more money in tax on jail/police to find/stop druggies.
My ideal life; Living to the fullest, having fun, and geeking on a linux box.
Okay, so...
Let's say they legalized weed/pot. Woo-hoo.
I try some. I'm addicted.
I screw up in school. No biggie.
I screw up in some crappy college. Still, no big deal
The only jobs I can get is McDonalds, or some other low-paying occupation.
You see? It screws up people's lives. Grades would drop. People would die. Think about it.
Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!
Teh- Lolno.
Like someone stated before, they should legalize them and make them EVEN MORE PRICY.
Oh yes, even if you had enough money, they would be sold to people over 21.
What confuses me is that they're illegal almost everywhere yet they're legal in one place... Holland. If they're so bad, why aren't they illegal there? Coz their goverment knows if they take drugs, it's their choice!

I agree with Ram on all his points xD
People say DisneyLand's the best place in the world, they've clearly never been in your arms (B
Well, you guys can live in your fantasy of "drugs would make everything better". And Syed, you don't see intelligent college graduates work in StarBucks, now do you?
Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!
@Teh: Actually, graduating from College doesn't mean automatically that you're "intelligent".
@Nero:... Thanks?
Look, I'm gonna put it this way.
What are humans most drawn to? "Taboo" things. Think about it. Kids like to stay up late and eat junk food. Teenagers like to [try and] have sex. Adults... Well, I don't know what the hell they like. Robbing? Okay, robbery. But, drugs probably fall and share between the Teen and Adult Demographic. So, if you were to legalize Marijuana, it would suddenly not become appealing. Not suddenly, but, the fact that you don't get reprimanded for it would make it seem less worth doing. And furthermore, if kids are presented with equal information from both sides, not just "Drugs are bad, Mmkay?", then maybe, they'd understand more.
Censorship plays a HUGE part in the information given to children.
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
Look, if everyone is offered equal information, then they can use their own judgment -Not Beardo's or the Government's Judgment- to make their own informed decision. I swear...
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
Making the punishment more harsh wont help it, dumb one. people will ALWAYS think they can get away with it.
Another thing, Tobacco IS WAY more harmful then pot. Why is tobacco legal then? because our stupid government. The tobacco company is a HUGE money spinner.
"hey, look at this crap."
"its legal, though"
"because the people of the past used it."
"why make it illegal?"
"its, big, big money!"
"Good point!"
Its stupid. Pot is not as bad as tobbaco, and people are in prison for it. Effing disgraceful.
Making weed legal and putting a high tax on it? Wouldn't that cause serious addicts to go through some kind of withdrawal? Many people have died from quitting something "Cold turkey".
