No I don't think they should be legalized.

I am shocked people think it's OK to legalize Marijuana. While it is a "cool" drug, this is an impairing drug.

I don't want a bunch of people "high" while driving.



So make it like alcohol,make it illegal to drive while under the influence but not illegal to use.

No one is NOT smoking marijuana because its illegal.

Booze does the same thing yet it's legal.

I wouldn't want anyone driving high or drunk... to me it's one in the same.

If it's regulated kids shouldn't even be able to get their hands on it as easily.

It would be like drinking. There's an age limit. Do kids come to school drunk?

It will NEVER be regulated IMO

Yes, but not all kids are coming into school drunk. There are still good kids out there, no?

I understand you are against this, I'm just not understanding the angry tone to your posts.

Whether its legal or not I beleive for kids it will stay the same either way. Many kids go to school high and or drunk - neither are legal for teens. I dont see how it would differ if marijuana was legalized. Kids can get their hands on pot just as easy as liquor and if pot was legal it might not be as potent which is better than what is out there now.

No way. None of them. Even pot is addicting, no matter what people say.

But there are plenty of legal vices in this world that are addictive; what makes pot any different?

the difference bet. alcohol and other mood alterring substances is the addiction level.

far fewer people become addicted to it than the total of people that imbibe.

sure, there are alcoholics, but that has as much to do with addictive personality disorder as it does to the actual addictive properties of alcohol itself.

the same cannot be said for illicit drugs. their addictive properties, and the prevelence of addiction in those that have tried (and the swiftness in which the addiction occurs) is FAR greater than that of alcohol.

give a kid a few drinks. he may or may not become an alchy. give a kid a few hits of heroine or cocaine...and he could be battling it for life.

I don't disagree with your POV when it comes to coke or herorin, but pot? I just don't see it.

I equate pot to tobacco and I think it's just as additctive as tobacco.

So why would you want to legalize it if you thinkg it's just as bad/addictive?

If you feel that way about tobacco then why should we add it to the list of "OK" drugs?

Because something just as bad is legal?
