Don't have one.

I think the government should legalize marijuana, tax it heavily, and use the proceeds to fund abortion centers for teenagers.

I think opium should be legalized and everyone should be force injected daily.

There is no difference between marijuana and nicotine.  No real big difference.  The only reason that nicotine is legal is that it was socially accepted.

Marijuana should be made by the government, so profits go back to the government, and, it should be taxed on top of that.

Then, those taxes that are put on the marijuana should go to addiction rehabilitation centers or something else that benefits society.


As for other drugs, they should be made and taxed by the government, and they should be sold at registered pharmicies, and should come in small brown paper bags with no advertisements or anything.  Recommending a drug to anyone else should be illegal.  Sharing the drugs should be illegal.  You buy the drug solely for the purpose of getting over the addiction.  Of course, people will share the drugs, but it should still be mildly punished if caught.

Anyway, the most important thing of all, is no advertisements.  No magazine advertisements, no TV ads, no giant bilboards.  The goal is to discourage people from taking drugs.

However, the exception is ecstasy, and other drugs that permanently damage the brain.  They should be illegal.  No exceptions.  It damages the brain, and it is absolutely not right.  If someone takes marijuana, and is high at home, it doesn't bother anyone.  If someone takes ecstasy, and lowers his IQ, and ends up living off of social help, then that person is damaging society.

I'm all for it; however, I think the biggest question revolves around combating the textile, agricultural, energy, pharmaceutical, and alcohol interests which persistently lobby against legally grown cannabis.  That's the real reason marijuana is illegal.

Wow. Good call.

I think it should be legalised.
I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and was left wondering what all the fuss is about. It isn't mind-altering. It's like being drunk and very relaxed.

EDIT: And numb. I remember my limbs becoming just a bit numb.

Yes.
With the same restrictions as alcohol of course.

No, don't legalize it.  And while they're at it, they can make smoking tobacco illegal, too.  If 25% of the population, who are still killing themselves with cigarettes every day, get pissy then so be it.  I put little stock in the opinions of people who are knowingly poisoning themselves and the people they love.

Thread-a-pult away.

I don't know if anyone has pointed out this glaring difference but nicotine is highly addictive and weed is not.

Also, I can drive just fine after several cigarettes.

I can see you are one of those brilliant people who believe they should tell others how to live their lives based on your own "profound" personal beliefs. A person should be able to do whatever one wants in the privacy of ones home as long as they aren't hurting anyone else. I personally believe fully in New Hampshire's motto, "Live Free or Die!" Call me a crazy freedom craving American.

Why is it illegal in the first place?

(Not condoning it, just asking the question, because perhaps there's a reason we're all missing? I don't know...)
