I seriously believe drugs should be lagalized.

I have NEVER in my life ever been high, and if I have been, I didn't know. No one should assume because one wants to legalize drugs, they are a drug user. Let's be realistic. If drugs are to be legalized, drug-trafficking byproducts (crime for drugs, etc.) would be significantly reduced, would they not? Would the entire country really pick up drugs like madmen when legalized? Drug users tend to have problems, whether psychological or social or whatever, but then again, we should not be throwing people in prison for some years just for a possessing a little drugs. Pedophiles, rapists and the like don't seem to be as severly punished as drug users or sellers, if anyone has noticed. All they get is a slap on the wrist. Drugs can be helpful in the medical field and maybe help the economy taxing them, too. Maybe it can compete with the cost of perscription drugs and therefore, lower prices for perscription drugs.

Public Opinion: Should the United States Legalize Drugs?

No, the United States should not legalize drugs, not now, not ever! The people that believe that it should be legalized are most likely the people that do the drugs. Any drugs have mental affects on the user, but the user also hurts other people that they are associated with more than they will ever know. Drugs are only wanted by the people that do them and the people that make a profit off of them. As for prescription drugs, they are legal but only if you have a prescription for them, they are't made for you to prescribe for yourself. The people wanting to make drugs legal are the people that suffer from addiction from them. The only time they are sober, all they think about are drugs, and how they are going to get them and who from, etc. Drugs can only hurt you and the ones you love. Drugs alter peoples personalities and make them do things they wouldn't do sober. Do we really want people killing and raping and stealing all the time and more often because drugs are legal? Do you want to worry about your son or daughter, brother or sister, mom and dad getting hurt because of someone on drugs. Plus if it is legal it is easier to get to therefore the young kids are getting it easier than before. Drugs are mind altering highly addictive substances, who wants to see someone they love to be sucked so far into something like that? Something that most people cannot return from... Imagine someone doing drugs trying to cook your food at a resturant or someone doing drugs while operating heavy machinery. How about someone doing drugs while doing surgery on you or while they are working on your car. Whar about paying for your child to go tpp college and they do some drugs and go to class, but don't learn anything. What about someone doing drugs while watching your child at daycare while you are at work. Who would want any of these things to take place just because drugs would be legal. What about the people that are against drugs and don't want any part in them, well they would be forced to be around it. Drugs should not be legalized in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world...

herro

hello

i thiink that the drugs are really bad to everyone....some people dont think what are they doing they dont think about there family. some person chose to do drugs because they have some problems with her familys or they think that nobody cares what they are doing,they fell lonly,that no one loves then. i think if the person who is in drugs need to ask for help. You have to think about the consecuences of doing drugs and about your family....some people dont have family, no one who cares about then,what are they doing.....i hope that some day this things stop.

Legalize Marijuana

yes there has never been any deaths caused by marijuana but on the other hand cigarette's along with alcohol kills year round that's sad now government spend large amount's of money on rehabilitation centers state wide. Legalizing Marijuana guarentee's it will be less drunk driver's, less cancer due to smoking cigarettes. As for me personally I'd rather be around marijuana smoke than second hand cigarette in an million years both cigarettes and alcohol have the surgeon general's warning on them, both are man made. Nothing man make is perfect and the DRUG Marijuana has no such of a thing as a warning label, trust me I know within my 26 years of life I have not seen it and yes I have inhaled and love it better than the other drugs mentioned. It is up to the government to continue to kill the american people as to keep warning the american people about smoking which they have made it our choice wheather to smoke or not,and make excuses or just LEGALIZE MARIJUANA ,tax it and make money for our economy,pay off debts, help homeless people in our own country first, make our country GREENER. Yes to LEGALIZING MARIJUANA it doesn't really matter if it's not legalized, it's still growing and it's going to continue to burned. (420)

Hmm.

I think it's funny how they group heroine and marijuana in the same category, when in actuality they are completely different. I have never tried Heroine and don't intend to, but I have tried Marijuana. I have -seen- the affects of Heroine and they are drastically different than that of Cannabis.

Why are our leaders being so melo-dramatic over a simple plant? I can tell you why. It's because our voices are disagreeing. Plain and Simple. Most of our leaders have never even used it, and those that have don't have the gumption to say otherwise. They are simply too afraid to say anything or disagree. Our government is unfair, we all know that. They are hypocrites of the Declaration of Independance. INDEPENDANCE being the key word there.

Take the Hippie era for example, they tried to tell everyone that smoking pot wasn't all that bad. The conducts of some of them were appalling to say the least so it casted a bad shadow on Cannabis. So anybody that tries to stand up to voice their opinion publicly is ostrasized for being an addict and therefore made to look bad. It's a lose-lose situation. Cannabis is judged based on the other MAN-made drugs out there. Cannabis is EARTH-grown. Meaning it was here before WE were. It's a plant. How can you outlaw a plant? Our government does, because they're too stupid to realize the value of it.

To legalize and tax it could do NOTHING but help our economy. They sitting on a cash crop and they won't do anything about it because if they do, it will be admitting they were wrong about something. And if ONE single person was wrong about something in our government, they shut them up with a pay-off or whatnot. Possibly even murder, if it gets too public.

That's what I have to say about it.
