Marijuana - should it be legalized?

[flyingbrick]

I'm a big believer that marijuana should be legalised. (And I'm not some stupid child or reckless hippy)

It has no recorded fatalities and is far less dangerous and addictive than alcohol and tobacco.

It relaxes you, and doesn't turn you into a raving and aggressive drunkard like beer can.

I think we'd all be a lot happier if marijuana was legal.

Why would I be happier? I've never taken marijuana..

I don't really care, it isn't important to me but I guess having it illegal makes no difference.
And agreed on what FlyingJesus said but, how would they keep it on record? Couldn't anyone just sell it:S

I think it should be kept illgal, it messes people up, makes them do stupid things and is a waste of money imo

Making it legal isn't the same thing as introducing a free and open market for it outside of the law. Most likely if it was legalised it'd be so heavily restricted and regulated that street dealers would still try staying in the business (but with increased prices), but the legal stuff would be all well monitored I'm sure

[dirrty]

no it shouldn't as wot i say goes

[Alkaz]

No I dont think it should. It is being re-classified to a class B according to a family friend who words down the local cop shop. Good move imo, seen it ruin too many lifes.

Ahh! I mis-interpreted what you said

[Jordy]

It's a little-known fact that you can actually get it on prescription in the UK. So yes it is actually used for medical uses if the NHS thinks you need it, anyone who takes it for 'medical reasons' illegally does not actually need it as they have most probably been rejected to have it legally.

^ Other class A drugs are sometimes used to terminally ill people in serious pain as a pain killer.

Illegal because it can damage your health (obviously) and it causes hallucinating.

It makes you high and it doesn't make you hallucinate..
