if you cant stand the heat, get the _____ out of the kitchen

I have dust allergies so I decided to lobby for legislation that would give the police authority to arrest and/or kill anyone caught possessing, making, distributing or utilizing dust.

It should be legalized simply because some weak-minded people cannot stop their obsession and addiction to drugs?

I don't know where you are going with this, most people, particularly me, says drugs should be legal because it is less addicting/ bad for you than alcohol.

The fact is that no one needs drugs, never has and never will.

Nobody needs soda, should we illegalize soda?

Neither is doing drugs cool, or however you regard it, it's disgusting.

Something being "cool" should never be a reason to do anything or legalize anything I agree.

Do you really think having smoke in the lungs is not bad? It's bad every time, lungs is for air, preferably clean air.

Should we illegalize tobacco?

You want crap in your lungs? Then fart into a bottle and inhale it. Through your nose! You want to eat that stuff instead? Then go ahead and eat shit.

Those aren't illegal though.

Our bodies do not need drugs, every time you take drugs in, the body begins fighting them off because they do not belong there.

Same situation with alcohol. Alcohol is pretty much poison.

And as I've said multiple times elsewhere also, the job of a government should be ensuring the people under it are well of both body and mind.

Let's illegalize alcohol then.

Having the mentality that drugs, smoking, or anything similar is not bad is not being well of mind. It's immaturity, what makes immaturity bad is when you're a grownup.

I agree.

You do it because of stress, from inability to deal with emotions and feelings internally; you do it because other's do it, it's regarded as "cool" in your circles; or you simply don't know better.

Or to enjoy yourself like when one drinks alcohol. The only reason to drink soda is to enjoy the flavor, it doesn't do anything good for you, why should it be legal?

If you use drugs, smoke, anything similar, then you still have growing to do.

Maybe. If you stick with that, then its only fair to say that about alcohol.

Using drugs goes in parallel with condoning any mistakes. "You made a mistake, and I made a mistake? Ah... they were small ones, no point fussing with them." Mistakes must be learnt from, however small they seem. The only reason you think using drugs is a small one, or not one at all, is because it supposedly makes you "feel good".

Drinking alcohol should be a mistake then. We all to some extent compromise a perfectly healthy life style for satisfaction in the moment, when you eat a cheeseburger from mickyDs, get a 2 liter of coke, spend all day watching television, playing video games, drinking alcohol. I think it is more fair to legalize or illegalize drugs based on how negatively it can effect others around the user and to what extent, the way I see it, we should either illegalize both alcohol and weed or neither, otherwise we are being hypocritical.

I cannot regard people like those any other way but as pathetic.

Isn't much of an argument. I respond to this to ask, do you see alcohol drinkers, hardcore alcoholics to drinks one cup every new years as pathetic? Perhaps you have a bit of a prejudice behind your stance?

I wonder, can you look at yourself, your past, and pinpoint why exactly you began using them?

I smoke a few times close to each other every 6 month's on average maybe? That sounds about right. I wanted to try it, just like people who like to drink now and then just wanted to try it. I smoke ciggarettes... I hate that I smoke ciggarettes it doesn't make you scratch off your skin or see Shit I know, its bad for my lungs, but what I hate MOST about it, is It's addictive property. A close family member of mine used to be a bad, bad drug addict, he is completely clean now except for cigs, and he says that cigarettes are the hardest thing he ever tried to quit. Cigarettes are incredibly quick at becoming addicting but still slow enough for you to not take it seriously. Other drugs remain as addicting when you first try them, your will might weaken, but the drug isn't becoming more addicting. Cigs potentially become the most addictive drug in the world after smoking for so many years. Now the point of my rant about cigs is that the fear mongering behind weed drove me to cigs ironically, when I tried weed I realized, yeah it isn't good for you, buts its not as bad as a lot of people think, so I thought maybe they are exxagerating with cigarettes? So I tried one to see if it was really bad and if it was something I liked. At first they aren't addicting at all, after the first one I could probably have cold turkeyed, but remember they get addicting quick, so I thought wow this isn't that addictive... I was wrong.

I don't think the point of society is to look after us individually but as a whole, individually our choices should be none of the governments business, our decisions that affect others should totally be their business. That's the way I see it. Otherwise why not illegalize all unhealthy foods? Unhealthy beverages? Because to put those in your body is your choice. The truth is the only way one can really live is to compromise a perfectly healthy lifestyle to a satisfactory lifestyle to some extent. Living healthy is living for the future, if we live for the future and never ever live for the present then we never live for the future in the end anyway, because when the future becomes the present you don't live it, what was the point? Weed doesn't do anything good for you other than make you feel good yes, but mountain dew doesn't either other than make your taste buds feel good. Sure it hydrates you, but its easier to distribute and sell water than mountain dew...

cigarettes and alcohol are drugs, weed is not. youre probably too stupid to understand why it has been demonized

It should be legalized simply because some weak-minded people cannot stop their obsession and addiction to drugs? The fact is that no one needs drugs, never has and never will. Neither is doing drugs cool, or however you regard it, it's disgusting.

Drug: a substance which may have medicinal, intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects when taken or put into a human body

Medicine would fall under that category.

Do you really think having smoke in the lungs is not bad? It's bad every time, lungs is for air, preferably clean air. You want crap in your lungs? Then fart into a bottle and inhale it. Through your nose! You want to eat that stuff instead? Then go ahead and eat shit. Our bodies do not need drugs, every time you take drugs in, the body begins fighting them off because they do not belong there.

This is misleading. You believe that the body "fights off drugs" like a virus because the effects wear off. When you eat some food or drink some water do you get thirsty or hungry again because your body fights it off? No, its because the effects run out. Again, most drugs improve people's live, both in medical and recreational use.

And as I've said multiple times elsewhere also, the job of a government should be ensuring the people under it are well of both body and mind. Having the mentality that drugs, smoking, or anything similar is not bad is not being well of mind.

When its been proven in many studies that certain drugs that our strictly outlawed are not harmful, then what is the point of having them outlawed? And as I've said multiple times elsewhere drug prohibition has never worked.

It's immaturity, what makes immaturity bad is when you're a grownup. You do it because of stress, from inability to deal with emotions and feelings internally; you do it because other's do it, it's regarded as "cool" in your circles; or you simply don't know better. If you use drugs, smoke, anything similar, then you still have growing to do.

Most people who smoke weed don't smoke because its "cool" or because they are dependent on it or stressed out. Most just smoke some at a party, you treat it as if they were all full blown addicts. If you consider having a cig or two at a party every once in awhile to immature then you have some growing up to do.

Using drugs goes in parallel with condoning any mistakes.

Using drugs is a mistake? Medicine makes people healthier. Coffee makes people work better. Recreational drugs make parties better. How is that a mistake?

Mistakes must be learnt from, however small they seem. The only reason you think using drugs is a small one, or not one at all, is because it supposedly makes you "feel good". I cannot regard people like those any other way but as pathetic.

Before I had ever had a sip of alcohol or a puff of marijuana I never considered it a mistake. I don't consider having a a joint at a party or a few beers on the weekends to be mistakes, I do consider blowing your entire pay check on substances because you are dependent on them to be a mistake. Does that mean they need to be outlawed? Of course not, people who are using them in a responsible manor should not have their rights taken away and those who are using the irresponsibly should be offered treatment.

I wonder, can you look at yourself, your past, and pinpoint why exactly you began using them?

Well lets see, my friends were smoking some weed at a party and I when asked if I wanted a hit I said -drum roll- no. So I continued talking to my friends not realizing that the room was rather smokey and you can probably see where it went from there.

Most people don't have some deep emotional reason or desire to be "cool" the drives them to smoke pot, they just get a contact high or try it out on their own out of pure experimentation.

1. Marijuana doesn't kill brain cells, that study was proven false.

2. The question is if it should be legalized, not if smoking it should be mandatory.
