I was talking with my health teacher, and she was speaking about how marijuana is bad for you and what not. But then i said "what if marijuana was legal, wouldnt that make the economy better"..she replied "well yes sal, it would."..I think It should be legalized, no not because i do it because i don't , so the economy rises, what do you guys think?

Lots of things cause brain damage.
The War on Drugs is a power game, pure and simple. The DEA doesn't actually care about anyone. It's all about money and power. Why else would the leader of the DEA name himself the Drug CZAR--The czar being the most absolutist monarch in European history? |

Hah so what if it causes long-term brain damage? It's the drug user's decision to...I mean they know it's bad already, and if they choose to do it still, oh well...not my problem.

QUOTE i know like when they buy cigs it wastes money and it kills you, so thats pretty stupid! Hey...those people that are "wasting money" and getting "killed" are helping the economy. Obviously if they want to waste their life on drugs, they're not that important, are they? I'm sure there will be the occassional users, but that won't do much harm, and it's still helping the economy.

Actually, I think that I read something about this...they'd make a slightly watered-down version of it...of course, it wouldn't be something you'd smoke, but you could still get addicted to it, just like any drug. |

If they're that stupid to be using marijuana or other drugs, then...what loss are they to the United States? They'd probably only bring people down in the future.

marijuana should stay legal only for medical purposes. . allowing the safe constant production of a drug that is harmful to those that abuse the privilege doesn't make it right.

heres the deal:: people r gonna buy, sell, n smoke it whether its legal or not. so they might as well make it legal.. 1-for financial reasons 2-making it legal might actually keep people from doin it as much.. cuz the whole issue of rebelion would be gone.. ya kno?

i think it should be legal with no restrictions. that way it won't be a way to show that you're some kinda harda$$ so no one will do it anymore.
