shadowserpent Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Do you believe drugs should be legal, if just for medical purpose, or are you strongly firm no drugs should be legal no matter what happens? If drugs were legal america would learn how much money they would make and allow other drugs, not for medical purposes so I feel drugs should not be legal even for medical purposes? How bout you?

Vough Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 [img]http://images.wikia.com/yugioh/images/4/4c/ProhibitionCP08-EN-SR-UE.png[/img] I believe only selective drugs should be legal. Hard drugs like cocaine should stay illegal. I believe that this is should take a Prohibition stand on it. Many drugs are outlawed, but like alcohol was outlawed, people are still getting it illegally. And of course, the price has skyrocketed beyond what it would be normally. This has done nothing but throw many into jail for literally no reason. So, instead of sending hundreds into jail and waste our tax dollars, how about we make possession of Marijuana legal and fix our damn economy?

Darth Revan of the Sith Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 All drugs are disgusting taints that should never have been brought into this world in the first place I am against it all...

Welche the crab Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm not quite sure what to believe. Legalization has many advantages, but so does prohibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Smokeable" covers every material in existence that can be consumed by fire, and I could argue Tylenol is a mind-altering drug. "Certain" isn't specific.

Don't believe what you head in every anti-drug campaign at school. OT: Marijuana won't kill you. It calms you down. Watch the documentary Super High Me. Besides, why is it a problem to one individual if another is doing something that helps them relax and calm down? So legalize marijuana. Besides, violence in terms of illegal drug trade is a huge problem, if you legalized one of the most commonly used drugs, it would likely calm it down a little bit. ON THE OTHER HAND. Drugs like cocaine, meth, and heroin are incredibly harmful to the body and mind, and in many cases, can kill people. Those, I am against. I'm also against hallucinogens like shrooms, DMT, etc. Of course DMT is very safe for a hallucinogen, but still, often times, bad hallucinations lead to suicides. So that's not very good, no matter how unlikely it s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I personally don't care if people want to kill themselves by ODing on cocaine. That is honestly none of my business nor is it any of the government's business - it's the same logic for the legalization of suicide. However, I am in favor of banning drugs that alter the mind [i]to the point that[/i] it can cause any sort of damage to others. So if its found that heroin causes lunacy that results in mass murdering or something of the sort, it should be banned. Hope that made sense, kind of hard to pinpoint my opinions on this topic.

J-Max Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Minor highs like Weed should be a-ok. Keep people well awat from the hard stuff like Crack & Ecstacy though. Never known Cannabis to kill but Cocaine sure does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm sort of on the fence in regards to this because while there are advantages of legalizing drugs, there are also problems, though mostly in regards to the harder drugs. I do however think that no matter what, drugs should be used for medical purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd just like to add that arresting cocaine addicts for possession doesn't help society in any way as they should be rehabilitated and are victimized by their dealers, who actually should be arrested.

The Amazing Avian Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Though I personally think marijuana should be legalized, it won't be. Cartels make too much money from it to allow that to happen. Should any politician think about legalizing it, they won't hesitate to put a bullet through his or her head.

[/quote] A marijuana joint actually contains more tar than a cigarette does. But the flip side to that is that an average marijuana smoker will smoke far less marijuana than an average cigarette smoker. But "not harmful in the slightest" isn't exactly accurate. Marijuana should have been legalized ages ago. There are no good arguments for its continued illegalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amazing Avian Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 It has more tar, but it is still not as much of a cancer inducer as cigarettes, which also have:[list] [*]Acetone – found in nail polish remover [*]Acetic Acid – an ingredient in hair dye [*]Ammonia – a common household cleaner [*]Arsenic – used in rat poison [*]Benzene – found in rubber cement [*]Butane – used in lighter fluid [*]Cadmium – active component in battery acid [*]Carbon Monoxide – released in car exhaust fumes [*]Formaldehyde – embalming fluid [*]Hexamine – found in barbecue lighter fluid [*]Lead – used in batteries [*]Napthalene – an ingredient in moth balls [*]Methanol – a main component in rocket fuel [*]Nicotine – used as insecticide [*]Toluene - used to manufacture paint [/list] So yeah, marijuana is nowhere near as bad, but it is still bad for you.

WTFauKorean Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 inb4 inb4 inb4 till the end of time inb4 This debate is like repeatedly used every where and especially on this forum, and by reading these posts I've assumed that people got bored of the repeated debate and just don't give two monkey arses anymore and therefore "I don't know what to think." now some of you may remember my arguments some of you may not but if there's anything you should remember it is my background on drug use. I smoked weed in fifth grade and quite recently half way through my senior year of high school smoked a strait up stoogie once in my life and didn't like it so quit I smoked ciga-weed starting from freshman year and because of this I had mild lung cancer, which was cleared of its malignant cells with treatment late senior year. I tried shrooms twice (both bad trips) and popped Ecstasy starting late junior year and still on it during certain occasions. tell you what even as a user I say keep it illegal, all of it. Know why? I've done the argument with in more elaboration some where before but I don't wanna find it so here it is in short the main point is people are stupid, I mean stupid to the point where hobbes theories could beat Locke down to a bloody pulp 30 times and still have the energy to f*** the ring girl after the fight. regardless of the responsible users to substances of sensitivity, not everyone can be responsible. The stupidest of the stupid will placebo on the "effects" of marijuana the stupidest of the stupid will gateway marijuana towards crack-cocaine the stupidest of the stupid will pop X with out others around them, which for one makes you a loser for having no friends to pop with and two makes you an idiot for exposing yourself in risk to dehydration and overdosing. the stupidest of the stupid will pop shrooms alone and stab himself to death the stupidest of the stupid will shoot heroine because it makes you look thug the stupidest of the stupid will snort sugar and baking powder for $300 because the dealer knows you're stupid (I've seen all of these things) in other words for the safety and sake of stupid people, responsible users will have to suck it up and allow the law to keep substances of abuse remaining illegal. just so that idiots have a harder time getting their hands on it.
