Exactly. But that doesn't mean marijuana should be made legal because the other two are. It still harms your body. I don't believe the other two should be legal either. But that is a different topic.

But being a heterosexual, you wouldn't know. I mean, you don't have any evidence do you?

I am just wondering, and I am not trying to start and arguement; are you yourself gay?

Okay. I see where you are coming from. But by legalize it do you mean like cigarettes? As in people could freely smoke in most restaurants (in the "smoking section" which isn't always a separate room)?

I myself am what the author of this debate question would call a TRUE bi-sexual. I have had sexual encounters with both sexes but this is not what I base my reasoning on. From a young age I have noticed both genders in the same way that a straight person would notice the opposite gender. I don't have any preference between the two and I would be content settling down with either as long as I loved the person whole-heartedly and was ready for a commitment. The only things that might restrict me are that I haven't come out to certain people such as my parents.

I said as much. Not "Marijuana doesn't hurt your body AT ALL". And people do have a choice. They can smoke marijuana or they can refrain from smoking it. It just isn't legal.

Fat/ugly/geeky kids? I am thin, I would like to believe I am attractive, and I am friends with what you stereotypical people would call "popular". I enjoy guitar and I occasionally ride bikes. I am in good shape and sports are fun to me. I DO NOT participate in PE. And frankly, I hate it. I enjoy things because I CHOOSE to do them, not because I am being forced.

Whether it kills people or not, it still is harmful to your body. Ingesting smoke is not good for you. To say something should be made legal because it is less harmful or because it doesn't KILL someone is ridiculous.

To say that it should be made legal because it is less harmful to you than alcohol or tobacco is not logical in any sense. The key term to realize here is HARMFUL. Whether it is more or less harmful than other legal drugs doesn't make a difference. It is illegal because of the negative effects it has on your body. To argue that, "that isn't fair because alcohol and tobacco" is stupid to say. My reasoning behind this is that alcohol and tobacco aren't illegal because to try to make something illegal that has been legal for so long is nearly impossible. Back when America passed the prohibition laws, they didn't stop anyone from smuggling alcohol into the country. In fact, crime rates went up and eventually they had to re-legalize it.
