[ghjgfkgfk]

i know there this topic about this in lounge but i wanted only serious reponses, and i'm asking something different anyway

do you think pot should be legal?
if yes, what good will come out of it?
do you aprove people using it?
have you ever tried it?

i tihnk it should be legal because there is good that will come out of it:
*it would be safer. people would not have to buy from dealers where they didn't know where it had come from.
*there really won't be any dealers. do you see alcohol and cigarettes dealers on the the side of street? you don't
*there would be less pressure to do it
*while the police are busting the marijuana deal, they are missing the crack or herion deal over the next street (okay, that's an exaggeration)
they could focus on the bigger issues.
*taxes!
*cigarettes and alcohol do more damage than marijuana, but they are legal
*most people don't it to be 'cool'. everyone has different effects on it. some peopel said they do it because it helps them eat, sleep, foucus, and get rid of stress.
*illegal drugs are more tempting to do, well i think.
*free up jail cells

what do you think?

kathleen is right.
or maybe the groverment can put TAXES on it. you know how much the grovenment loves taxes.

and if you wondering about what good can pot do (really interesting read), http://www.doitnow.org/pages/124.html

What THC does do is relieve the severe nausea and vomiting caused by powerful anti-cancer chemicals. Of at least 20 studies completed so far, nine showed THC superior to traditional anti-nausea drugs, while another five found it equally effective.

Many of pot's ingredients — particularly the cannabinoids — are poorly understood, even today. That's the reason that establishing which ingredients produce what effects is still an uncertain process.

Another reason is that most of marijuana's therapeutic effects-including its ability to improve appetite, reduce nausea and muscle spasms, and relieve pressure within the eye-are mediated and modified by its interaction with the central nervous system.

(and don't give that 'not everything on the internet is true!' ****.)
