Why Marijuana SHOULDN'T Be Legal

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"]

[QUOTE="MoetWitMedusa"]

you aint gonna go to jail man its practiclay legal here already. legalization is terrible becasue of the cost.

Legalizing weed is going to bring DOWN the cost. An ounce of Pot costs more than pretty much anything on Earth per weight, even more than gold and more than a ton of corn. The reason being that it's illegal. The black market artificially inflates the price past what it would be in a free market where supply/demand and the advent of mass production would naturally settle it.

Sadly, yes.

What are the prices in your area? (assuming it's legal where you live)

[QUOTE="quatoe"][QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"]Holy crap! You guys have to pay over $1000 for an ounce of weed? :o

[QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"]

[QUOTE="quatoe"] Where I live an ounce is 240 $quatoe

Ok, first before I start, I am not positive either way. I go back and forth. But I believe no it shouldn't here's why.

If marijuana was to become legal, it would be run by tobacco companies, increasing amount of daily users, and users who will use it like cigarretes. They are worse for you than cigarretes. But they are sort of better, due to the fact that they aren't as addictive.

If it were to become legal, what do you think drug dealers would do? Give up? No, I say this: the people who sell drugs will push to sell harder dangerous drugs such as crack, and heroin, among other things. Not only that but marijuana does impact your thinking and motor skills.

I also think that they would increase in crimes, robbery ETC... To make the money.

Here's my solution. Keep it illegall. The only problem is illegall marijuana could be dangerous. People have been known to have seizures. So my advice? Stay away from Mary Jane.

Seizures would occur if you have a certain illness which would not mesh well with marijuana. The problem with marijuana is that dealers could put any old thing in it, such as fly spray or even cocaine/meth to make you think you "need" the marijuana when you only "need" the cocaine/meth/etc. Pure marijuana is not even half as bad.

[QUOTE="quatoe"][QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"]That sounds more reasonable. An ounce of gold currently costs $1360. An ounce of *quality* bud would probably set you back close to $400 in the Netherlands, a country where it's semi-legal, and that's without factoring tax into the equation.

Reasons why it SHOULD be LEGAL:

- It's no ones right to tell another person they can or cannot put a near harmless substance in their body. Some ppl might just say it shouldn't be legal for the fact they might be bitter.

- It's not addictive. I know. I use to smoke it and quit back in 2000.

- It has relaxing effects that would make many ppl less agitated and so on.

- It would be one less thing for drug trafficers to utilize for income.

- personally, I think America would be a happier place.

The only thing it would do is give the economy more money coming in.

actually one of the arguments against legalization is that, if legalized, they'd put like a 50 dollar per ounce tax on it, plus the cost of the product itself.

Still, considering the cost of pot now, I don't see how it would be more expensive if legal.

I'd like to know what exactly he means by "interventionist".

Right, because we all know that if you want government intervention in any capacity and in any area that automatically means you want it in EVERY area to its full capacity. If you take that to its logical conclusion then everyone is either a facist or an anarchist, which is obviously not the case. In fact, I've run into far more people who professed to be against government intervention who are against legalization than people who have supported government intervention and are against it.

This is a prime reason why it should be legal. The government should be able to regulate it like they do with alcohol to ensure the safety of the users. Personally, I've never done any drugs, but from what I've seen on Wikipedia, marijuana is not nearly as bad as alcohol. So why is alcohol legal? Should we ban that too? No, that already happened and turned out horribly, I might add.

The main dangers of marijuana use are lung damage (only when you smoke it, obviously) and slight risk of developing schizophrenia later in life.

Now, with all that being said... medical marijuana should at least be legal. There are so many people who are in pain from terminal conditions, only to have to suffer through it until the end. Why not let them feel better by giving them marijuana? It seems like giving them marijuana would only be an ethical decision.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"] If the goal is to reduce road accidents, a society should move towards prohibition towards alcohol, as well as a ban on cell phones, driving while fatigued, and talking to other passagers while driving.

That's actually a huge problem. Most painkillers have numerous unwanted side effects and it can be hard to come by ones that are powerful enough to do the job without hurting the patient.

Exactly, I just see more people being hurt if it is released to the masses for reasons other than medical needs.

And all in the name of self gratification (excluding patients)

I personally think it should be legal. I have never nor wil I ever smoke, and I don't think it's good to smoke marijuana, but who is the government to tell people if they can or cannot smoke a plant on their own personal time.

Think about it the same way you would think about alcohol.

Truth. I studied for my Theory of Knowledge class whether it is ethical to legalize marijuana, it was EXTREMELY hard to find reasons why it shouldn't be legalized

You can't possibly overdose from Marijuana, it is said that you have to smoke 800 joints to overdose at which point you have already died from the actual smoke, not the marijuana

Also Alcohol and Tobacco are far worse for your body then Marijuana, so why aren't they Illegal? Driving while high? are you kidding me, people drink and drive which is far worse for your visions and basic thinking skills. So driving high can't be used as a viable argument or again Alcohol would be illegal.

Hemp as well, is one of the most effecient natural resources, it grows quickly and is a strong material that can used for a variety of things.

America has a crap load of debt at the moment and is increasingly loosing money as the days go buy, if America Legalized it, regulated it and taxed it, they would be able to help their economy. Everyone already smokes weed anyway, why not make a profit out of it and be able to pay for America's health insurance?

This is out of the top of my head so sorry it's not all too accurate but you get the idea,
I don't smoke Marijuana but I don't get why it isn't legal like here in Holland

To play devils advocate they already use hemp for a variety of things, only engineered to take out the THC element. And rather than use a 'well tobacco and alcohol is bad ergo pot should be legalised' standpoint/justification, the statements you use to back this claim could equally be used as an argument for the banning of the former 2 should... Also when people present 'overdose' - or rather the inability to - as an argument for pot, I think just like alcohol the damage caused can be measured in far broader ways than mere fatailities. Just a thought (although I agree with your conclusion)

If we replace the substance you're talking about with alcohol, then would you suggest this as sensible behaviour? Just playing devils advocate, but it's interesting how people perceive pot and their relationship with it compared to alcohol, when in reality it really isn't that different. The skewed percetion and poor reaction times cited for reasons why we shouldn't drink and drive actually do apply to weed in equal proportions....

EDIT: I should have added there is no 'limit' with weed as it's one prescribed by yourselves. The limit on alcohol is pretty tiny and the effect of reaching it is barely noticable. I have quite comfortably (stupidly) driven on 4 or 5 pints and felt fine, but that's not to say if quick reaction times were called into play I would have been found out...
