Imagine this, if it would be legalized, how can you accept the fact that your children who are 10yrs old or under are smoking weed.. how would we accept that?


There are already children who are 10 years old who smoke it.

When i was younger, i started taking drugs. I've tried everything i can get my hands on, which is unfortunately just about everything. From experience, i can tell you marijauna is the least dangerous of all of them, including cigarettes, and booze.

Of course there are harmful side effects. I to have seen studies that state 1 joint has the tar equivelent of 18 cigarettes. However with cigarettes, you can never get enough. It only produces a feeling of pleasure the until you get addicted, (which doesn't take long), after that, you smoke only so you don't feel jittery.

It will never happen but cigarettes should be illegal, and yes i am a smoker.

Marijuana is actually less intoxicating then alcohol.

I am fortunate enough to have wonderful parents and an amazing wife who have helped me quit the hard drugs and alcohol. I've been sober for 5 years now. I still smoke pot however, as does my wife and my parents.

No offence taken, though something more constuctive may be nice. What is your reasoning?

I think addiction is the best reason why marijuana or something like that can't be legalized. You must remember that marijuana is not cigarettes.
I'm keeping this simple rule: Smoking is harmful to health especially if we talking about marijuana Cool
Edit:
I've read everything before...
This is my opinion.
I don't know what's wrong with my post Razz

Im a smoker of it and at one point I wanted it legalised. Now im not so sure.....

People should not be arrested of put in jail for being in possesion of it imo. There is already a problem with overcrowding in prisons and putting weed smokers in prison is pointless. They have done no one no harm and police time should be spent on real criminals.

Saying that, weed does cause problems. Peope who are not working and smoke have no real motivation to get a job becouse of weed. It makes you not feel like going out, meeting friends etc. It basicly takes away your motivation for doing things.

It only really harms the person smoking it. Unlike crack addicts who have to go out and steal to feed their habit which affects over peoples lifes.

I held down various high paying jobs for 8 years while smoking it. At the time i figured it didnt affect my work much but looking back I know it did.

So i dont think it should illegal, but more should be done to help people understand the effects of it and help them out of their 'hole'.

I totally agree - posession is not a real reason to put people in jail.

I believe people should be able to do what they want in their own homes and if they want to grow pot in their back yard and smoke it - top shit! They're not hurting anyone!

Though I think that people should be educated more in the subject and know the benefits and downfalls. Just the way it's nailed in to me at school on how God is so great and how ciggaretts/alcohol is the devil (private school ftl).

Simple rules would be you have to be over 18 and no dealing to minors. Same as durrys (ciggaretts).

Here (UK) there's been proof of brain damage from one use, so it's going up a class.

Lsnick, have you ever got completey drunk and delibrately stayed out of everyone's way? It's protection for others, and yourself.

if u legalize it, it's gonna be less consumers. The kids that do drugs, they're doing because it's forbidden, it's a taste of doing something that's wrong, same with alcohol and cigarrettes..

Totally agree. The forbidden thing, is the sweetest thing, and it is totally normal.

In fact, I've never tried cigarretes or pot, so I dont have any oppinion about the subject, but as long as it takes you to addiction, it should be forbidden.
