Should marijuana be legalized?

icisnizz	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 1:29 PM (I posted this on my site by accident, but I meant to post it here, im new, give me a break...or a spliff) In my city marijuana is in the process of being legalized. The US governemt(drug czar, or something like that), is not in favour of this decision and calls it a 'dangerous drug'. In my opinion it is a dangerous drug, but not nearly as dangerous as alchohol wich has been legalized for years. Described as a 'gatway drug', marijuana is said to lead kids into trying other drugs such as LSD, cocaine and shrooms. I belive that this is only stated because the government needs a reason to explain why they legalized alchohol in the first place. Is alchohol also a 'gateway drug'? hmmmm Is it addictive? hell ya, and so are cigarettes...the two major contributers to goverment funds...but also the major contributers to the increase of illness. (pssst, they legalized alchohol to decrease the crime rate...) hmmm Dont ignore the fact that like mariguana, alchohol has simialar affects and at some times worse. The key word here is Abuse... People are born with certain traits and I belive that the banning of things such as marijuana take away our freedom as individuals with choices. Whether or not the person(s) abuse these 'drugs' is key in this argument. Someone can drink a beer here and there and not have any long term affects. Someone can smoke a joint here and there and not have any long term affects. Some can become a alchoholic. Someone can become a pothead. Someone can eat propery. Someone can eat excesivly and become obease. Someone... Someone... ALCHOHOL is one of the most addictive substances in the world. Not provin, I belive that marijuana is also addictive, but just about as addictive as McDonalds or Pop products. It all depends if you have that addictive trait. The trait to be compulsive in your actions. I can keep going on and on, but would rather hear your side before giving any more comments...I am not trying to convince anyone that I'm correct in any way...just thought it's an interesting topic...and making simple points...drop a comment... (I'm for the legalization, against abuse...)

ChillinBuzz	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 1:47 PM Abuse is the problem when anything is introduced to the system, it's a common element in our lives (alcohol, p2p, whatever your poison ) - I'm for decriminalisation - that is, dont shove it in kids' faces and keep it to the indoors or privately. A lot of time and money is wasted picking on small users instead of hitting the big users/suppliers. As for being a gateway to bigger stuff? I'll tell you straight. I was a big dope smoker years ago (went with the scene I was in too) and I also tried speed (base) and I tried magic mushrooms. Far from getting the ugly side-effects I was warned about I had a really nice time on these drugs. They were one-offs to me. Tried, liked, but didnt want it again. As for dope, a spliff helps wind down after a stressful day. The tobacco bit kills you, not the dope tho' As for the heavy shit, I'd personally wipe out all the major pushers by hand. Dont bother with the law, just nuke them. But yes, overall, drugs have too many negative aspects to become 100% legal. They took a gamble by making alcohol legal, now they face the same situation agai with drugs. Legal or otherwise, they will still be used and abused. I dont condone the use of drugs, if you don't understand a drug, don't take it. Curiosity killed the cat, remember?
icisnizz	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 1:55 PM agree fully, I've had a few 'one-offs' myself..., no side effects except compulsively making my music...and that damm twitch...where was I?
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 1:58 PM I've had problems with short term memory, I personally blame the excesses of my lifestyle from years ago. I also wrote some of my 1997 music ideas that are here whilst totally smashed. It's a great little party gimmick but a lousy life-long partner
nintendomaster	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 3:41 PM that is by far the stupidest question ever in dmusic history no offense, u understand (for all crack heads out there)
lreznik	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 3:44 PM Many people believe that marijana is very herbal and healing - although it has been scientifically proven to kill brain cells - only making you stupid. Ciggarettes have been most definitly proven to cause lung cancer and emphasima - which can kill you. I think that if anyone needs to smoke to enjoy themselves - it would be more healthier to smoke marijuana - just because only stupid people smoke.
nintendomaster	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 4:09 PM As for myself, to keep myself fit and health and relaxed, i go to the gym, workout, drink fresh fruit juices (Jack La Lane Power Juicer), Mountain Dew: Code Red with Dorritos: Cooler Ranch, and listening to Yanni while im sleeping
milladrive	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 4:31 PM I say if ya enjoy it and it doesn't bother anyone else, do whatever ya like.
milladrive	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 4:32 PM And Lea, I don't really think I'm stupid, but you're entitled to your opinion.
starseven	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 4:59 PM it should either me made legal, or they should have more severe laws concerning that and other drugs.. baslicly,either let ever moron in the world do all the drugs they want... let natural selection take care of them... while the rest of us run things... or..make it punishable by death right on the spot... cought with a joint?.. kneal down and take a bullet to the head... and lets hope your kids are watching so they get the point...that's my fucking opinion
azhazhellfire	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 5:14 PM theres only really one answer to this question. it is a holy answer. it is the answer of. meep.
azhazhellfire	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 5:17 PM and the damn drug is still illegal right? SO WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ADMITTING TO TAKING IT ON A SITE THAT ANYONE CAN ACCESS.
milladrive	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 5:21 PM It's not illegal everywhere, bro. ..and most laws surround possession, not usage.
icisnizz	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 6:12 PM Im admitting to taking a drug that is most likley going to be legalizied in the next year in my city...that's not bad. Besides it's already legal here to smoke it in your own house just not in the public, and you can't sell it, just like you cant just go around selling anything else. I don't smoke crack, my song 'the rapper and the crackhead', is comparing me to my friend. I'm addicted to music and he's addicted to, well quess...I do like The Doors though...meep
