Marijuana is a very strong drug, especially the designer strains being grown today. Don't fool yourself into thinking it's not. I've seen it totally screw up people's lives, just like alcohol.

And just like alcohol, some people can handle it and some can't. Still, it should be legal, and cheap.

Very strong compared to what? I find it very hard to believe JUST weed screwed up someone's life. If someone who smokes screws up their whole life, there's a lot more going on with that person than just smoking weed.

no you haven't seen it screw up anyones life
 
Ive been smoking weed since the 6th grade. I did other drugs but I hated most of them. Never did crack or heron. My life is pretty good . Weed isnt a gateway drug. Its just a scare tactic.

Its a known fact ciggys cause cancer. They ruin lives. You cant get sick from second hand pot smoke.

Strong compared to alcohol. Of course it's a different kind of high and in many ways much safer than alcohol, but don't kid yourself that it's harmless or that it won't put you in a serious fog for a while. Do you want your dentist or doctor taking a bunch of bong hits before they go to work on you? Would you care if your pilot was smoking weed in the cockpit? How about your accountant, or taxi driver or somebody working for you? Would you care if your baby sitter was sneaking off to the backyard for a quick toke? It can be just as dangerous as alcohol.

There are a lot of people in prison who would disagree with you. You could say that poor decision making got them arrested but there's something about pot that makes people do stupid ****, like putting their lives' in serious jeopardy just for a temporary buzz.
 
Freedom not just being allowed to make good choices because what is good is subjective. The benefits of legalization far outweigh the downsides of it being illegal. You can just look at prohibition as a good example of the pluses and minuses. As opposed to incarceration we could offer free or cheap rehab. For how much we pay to incarcerate them we could send them to Hawaii for rehab and it would still be cheaper. I wouldnt disagree that everyone has a right to do any drug but I can understand harder drugs being illegal. I cant see someone doing meth or heroin and maintaining a normal life. We as a nation criminalize way too many things. There are almost 5000 federal offenses for which you can be arrested. Seriously. On average congress creates one new offense a week. This crap is what really needs to stop.

FOr all the people that cry about legalizing it, how many have been arrested for smoking or possession of weed?

It probably should be legal but the pro-weed people never think about things like this and how it should be regulated. I do find it funny how everyone has a "I know a guy who smokes every day and he makes $XXXXXXX money and has a wife and successful kids!" story. That's like saying you know a guy who has never worn a seat belt his entire life and is still alive or you know a guy who has smoked 2 packs a day for 30 years and is as healthy as a horse. It proves nothing other than the fact that you know a couple of people who can do it and function successfully in society. Not everyone is like that but it's not as bad as the tv makes it sound either.
