Re: Should drugs be illegal?

This thread is certainly interesting. Thanks for pointing out some of the pro's for MMJ legalization MrRubix, had a few I missed when talking to my friends.

Ive never done anything outside salvia, for the trip drugs, and I dont plan on it. Those are just a little...ehhh :/

As for legalization as a whole, I'd say naturally grown things, like MMJ, shrooms, salvia, should be made legal with restrictions, as to how much you can buy at a time, or how strong, etc

Re: Should drugs be illegal?

I think grown drugs should be legal. EX. Marijuana, Shrooms. But made drugs, Ex. Cocaine, Acid, Meth, should remain illegal.

Re: Should drugs be illegal?

Doing drugs may only directly have a negative on the person doing them, but they can be just as damaging to families and other relationships etc, etc. So saying that you aren't hurting anybody but yourself is untrue. But life's all about choices, so that's just on yourself and what you decide to do. Also, though it would definitely be good for the economy to legalize drugs and tax the **** out of them, I don't think it's going to happen in your lifetime or mine.

I do think there are much worse crimes to commit though. We should probably worry about solving those before we go off worrying about whether they're going to "legalize marijuanaaaA!11!" or not.

inb4 ur stupid

Then why isn't alcohol illegal?

Or nutmeg, or air duster, or freon.

I don't know. People do some awful things under the influence of alcohol, just like drugs. Not saying that alcohol should or shouldn't be legal, they're both damaging to the user and their relationships. Not to mention you can get all kinds of cancer.

Haven't read through this thread but wanted to comment on this. I've wondered the same thing for a while now. Alcohol can be just as bad as any other drug in the wrong hands. Realistically they should just make it illegal like any other drug. But they're probably making too much money off taxing it.

I personally don't see the big hype with things like drugs and alcohol. They all have negative effects on the body so why do them? So you can feel high for a little while then come down only to feel like ****? Go do something that will make you feel good without crap like that.

A little wine can't go wrong, after all it does help the body. I think alcohol shouldn't be illegal because in good amounts it can actually be good for you. Drink limits on the other hand is something completely different, something that apparantly hasn't been anforced yet.

Re: Should drugs be illegal?

I hear more news stories about alcohol-related incidences than I do about drug-related ones.

Not that the news is always reliable, of course.

Re: Should drugs be illegal?

It's so common that the media doesn't even wanna touch the subject, it's boring in other words.

Re: Should drugs be illegal?

everyone is so terrified of "designer drugs"; seems like mdma and acid people are most hesitant about. thousands of people reported positive results after being prescribed mdma by their psychiatrists, just throwing that out there

I have trouble understanding this mindset. It's not like the government is just really busy with other stuff and doesn't have time to deal with drug reform. Governments are capable of dealing with multiple problems at a time, and considering the fact that the US and many other countries are experiencing a recession, now is the time to legalize marijuana and take radical action in general.

Anyways, drugs and alcohol can effect individuals negatively, but so can an unhealthy diet, lack of sleep, or bad posture. Should these things be made illegal? Drugs and alcohol can effect relationships negatively, but so can arguing or forgetting to clean your room or saying mean things. Should these things be made illegal?
