[QUOTE="Pirate700"]I couldn't care less about side effects. I'm talking about the ramifications to others. Just think, if pot is as obtainable as cigarettes, how do you think that will effect the student bodies at high schools. You'd have half the damn school blazed off their asses. What about drivers? You'll have people driving down the street smoking pot and what can you do? They won't get pulled over because for all anyone knows they're smoking a cigarette. And what about the smoke? Pot is a hallucinogen so if you smoke it around others, it will, even if in a small amount, have an effect on others around the smoker. What about parents? You want mommy and daddy getting lit and smoking the room out while little Johny is sitting there also getting stoned from the smoke? Outside of financial benefits, there are NO, positives. much of the same can be said of alcohol are you for re-banning that? anyway this will only effect those who already smoke it anyway..it will free up our law enforcement to focus something besides arresting youths with a joint and catch real criminals.. Not to mention it would free up the prison systems and cripple cartels Law enforcement like to focus on these small little crimes so they get money. i agree on the prison systems, but the cartels would most likely adapt, like any other business, and focus on some other illegal drug to sell and make money out of.[QUOTE="psn8214"]
Indeed I am. I am of the opinion that the side-effects of the drug are sufficiently weak enough to call for its legalization (especially given that it arguably is less harmful than alchohol, negating the side effects from the smoke itself), in addition to what he said. Is that to say that there wouldn't be negative aspects to this? Certainly not, but I am of the opinion that legalization is the correct route.
