Should pot be legalized?

  Author:  51070  Category:(Debate) Created:(10/30/2002 8:32:00 PM)

Hey, if cigarettes are legal, then why isn't pot? I, for one, think that it should be legalized, not because I want to smoke it. No, I'm not into drugs, but I think that it would be good for our economy. If we could export the drug, then we could make quite a bit of money, because there are quite a few individuals who seem to want this. And there'd be less crime. People want illegal drugs, so it does cause for some pretty grisly crimes. Plus, because of the crime rate going down, there wouldn't be as many people crowding the jails, and there wouldn't be all that much of a need for street gangs and such.

Cigarettes have over 200 chemicals in it, including rat poison, fermaldahide(sp?), tar, and other disgusting crap that I wouldn't want to put in my body. And pot is just pot. So why can't it be legalized if nasty cigarettes are? It doesn't make sense.

Date: 10/30/2002 8:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 57074    Here in NC the cops are so worried about pot but they arent busting people for haveing other drugs like crack, for some reason there only getting rid of pot right now, and i think they should let ppl smoke pot if they want to, the goverment could make a lot of money off of it!! i dont smoke pot myself but i know ALOT of people that do!!!  
Date: 10/30/2002 8:38:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 51070    There are a TON of potheads in my school. I agree Luv Bug about cigarettes. They SHOULD be illegal!  
Date: 10/30/2002 8:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 57074    cigarettes are worse for someone then pot is, i think they should let people smoke pot if they want to and if you want to die from smoking cigarettes then just smoke away, its there choice  
Date: 10/30/2002 9:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 57079    pot kills alot faster than cigaretts and if it were legal it would only kill more people its like you see alot of people smoking cigaretts and there is alot just think you get higher off of pot than cigaretts there would only be more people smoking therefore more people dying so no i dont think pot should be legal but yah i would never smoke cigaretts either its all gross. ~*~Angel~*~  
Date: 10/30/2002 9:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    They shouldn't legalize it, but the penalty for getting caught with it should not be as high...  
Date: 10/30/2002 9:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 59418    i agree with Dizzy me. But i think there should be a complete BAN against cigarrettes coz they are disgusting..metal princess  
Date: 10/30/2002 10:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    I agree with Dizzy... Legalizing it, would inturn cause others to want other drugs legalized.. But Also what would be the statistics of people under the influence of pot and driving? I think that would kill at least half if not more than drunk driving. If people want to smoke it, thats their porogative (sp?)They are going to whether it is legal or not... Im not into it, never have been, so really I dont have much of an opinion about it. Other than the penalties against the drug itself is as high as a murderer's penalties, and in some cases a murderer would be released before someone caught with drugs.. That to me IS the SADDEST thing.. *Shakes head*  
Date: 10/31/2002 8:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 20104    I love pot. I wish it were legal.  
Date: 10/31/2002 8:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 25828    yes. legalize it, and if jamie can say it i can too LOL --i love it *-)  
Date: 10/31/2002 2:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    no it should be decriminalized  
Date: 10/31/2002 2:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    korn gurl i cant remember what country did it but they studied how well people drive under the influence of tetrahydrocannibinol(THC) which is the thing in pot that makes you anyway they did this study and it showed that it cause no great difference they drove the same if not better  
Date: 10/31/2002 8:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    I hate this so much. People trying to rationalize pot. Even though it doesn't have all those "chemicals" in it, it is still not good for you. Every single pothead I know is just lazy and waste's alot of money on pot. Any mind altering drug is bad. Legalizing pot will just lead to leglizing more drugs.  
Date: 10/31/2002 8:37:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 51070    if pot's illegal, then I think that cigarettes should also be illegal. They have poison in them! Yucky!  
Date: 10/31/2002 8:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    Yes yucky...... always been against smoking also  
Date: 10/31/2002 9:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    I think thats crap. I am VERY against pot being legaliazed (I think Cigaretts should also be illegal) One of my friends smokes pot, its not "just pot" for one, he smells like pot (whicj ugh, reeks) hes so spazed out half the time he can't remember what we talked about 5 minutes ago, he can barely remember our conversation from the day before, his hands are always all shakey etc. He told me himself that he wish he never started smoking it...Not to mention I know MANY famlies whos lives have been ruined from someone in the family smoking pot, I think I read somewhere where that when you smoke pot repeadly (sp?) it makes some slime stuff over your brain, which slows down your reactions, the longer you smoke it, the longer it lasts.  
Date: 10/31/2002 9:26:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 51070    It's not as bad as cigarettes, but it's still bad for you nonetheless. And if we do legalize it, I think that the economy might just improve, because a lot of fools want it.  
Date: 10/31/2002 10:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    big tex thats a stereotype i know people who work better high  
Date: 10/31/2002 11:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 61916    This really is a touchy sort of subject for me. One part of me says, yes legalize it..the other, says no. Angel pointed out that pot kills more people than cigarettes...I for one have never heard of anyone dying from smoking pot. Cigarettes on the other hand, are killing people everyday. Legalizing it would definitly help out the economy...But I personally don't feel comfortable with the idea of people openly smoking pot in public..mainly because the smell of it makes me sick LOL.
Date: 11/1/2002 5:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 25828    it's not laziness big tex it's being mellow - I'm not lazy..always active - i think some people are just lazy and if they smoke pot it will intensify it. and as to spending money on it, if you've got the money to spend on it then it's no big deal..if you go into debt or something over it then it isn't a good thing.  
Date: 11/1/2002 11:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 61916    I definitly agree with you Heather. My husband smokes pot..and he is FAR from lazy. He's quite the opposite. This is a man that works 10-12 hour shifts at work..7 days a week. It's just something he likes to do when he get's home to help him relax and relieve the stresses that his VERY stressful job gives him I know quite a few people that smoke it also...and they are very artistic people. Smoking pot seems to get there creative juices flowing. To each there own. I don't like pot, therefor I don't smoke it. But I'm not going to critisize other people for it
Date: 11/1/2002 11:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 53284    I don't understand why some recreational drugs are legal (caffine, nicotine, alchol) while others are not. It seems to me, that by making them illegal all the government does is create a situation where the illegal drugs will be unregulated and overpriced. If you made them legal, it would dramatically lower the price and any glamor that is associated with the drug culture. I think that as a nation, we need fewer laws and more personal responsibility. The money saved by not having to police drug use could be spent on centers for getting people off of addicitve substances.  
Date: 11/1/2002 12:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    unfortunately you cannot export the drug because it won't be legal everywhere.. i am fine with it being legal as long as it has specifics to it.. like alcohol.. it can only be boughten in specific places.. you cannot drive under the influence... and cannot be done in public places  
Date: 11/1/2002 3:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    wild bob the price would not go down it would actually go up while the quality goes down just for the simple fact that its taxed out the rear  
Date: 11/1/2002 3:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 53284    Nice try Jester, I think that pot users would grow their own. Not to high a cost in that  
Date: 11/1/2002 4:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA work better high! Quick make up another one.  
Date: 11/1/2002 8:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 53182    No Tex. That was rude, and unneccasary. its true. Theres a great artical in the newest time about pot, and the actual scintific study of it. it IS better for you then Cigs and alchol, with a much smaller rate of physical and mental dependancy then you get with the aformentioned pair. And, due to a certain brain stimulent which is released while smoking pot, many people DO work better while under a mild dosage. One glass of red wine a day is good for you. now they are starting to believe the same about a joint. please don't mock another, Tex, for stating facts. -the lost boy
Date: 11/1/2002 9:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    big tex do your research this guy my dad used to work with before the military had 100% true UA's would suck at working so my dad had a guy from his company go smoke him out and he worked better funny how that works out but smoking to much then you actually do mellow out to the point of laziness but big tex dont just go off what the surgeon general says cause its usually stuff to keep it out of your hands and to make the government look smart and doing something right  
Date: 11/3/2002 10:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 61901    All the laws in the country have not stopped the Pot trade... so why waste more taxpayer money? If someone wants to smoke it, they will.  
Date: 11/14/2002 11:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 61908    ok, with me responding so late I don't know if anyone will read this or not, but I think it should be legal!!!! Pot has not killed one person yet, so I don't know what ~*~Angel~*~ is talking about or where she got her information. and when I used to smoke it, it did not make me spend one dime on it, I have always been lazy, even before I smoked it and I seem to drive a lot better, most peoples senses are enhanced, you hear better, see better it depends on the person. And the whole thing with killing brain cells....not true, they are temporality killed, but after a few hours they are back!!!! LEAGALIZE IT TODAY!!!!!!! "the axeman"  
Date: 11/21/2002 11:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 61908    one more thing I forgot to add... I no longer smoke it, it has been almost a year since I have..."the axeman"
