legalize drugs? read my comment before voting

[darklordbob]

listen i know what your thinking
drugs are bad
well listen to what i am saying

1. drinking is bad, smoking is bad. they are both legal
2. more people get in car accidents for drunk driving than for smoking pot
3. people who really want to do drugs will get them, legal or not
4. one problem with street drugs is quality, in an attempt to make more powerful drugs, they end up making drugs that are super lethal. if drugs were legal, the government could institute quality control
5. it would get drug dealers off the street, they are not going to try to compete with brand name products
6. the government could charge an extra tax(this would help with the current debt.
7. police would not be so busy fighting drugs, they would need fewer police, thus we get lower taxes, hooray

finally, the prohibition era has shown that you can't prohibit the use of addicting substances. i know that drugs arent good for you, but they are addicting and you can't defeat an enemy like that. sorry but there it is

well my oppinion is no, who cares, there is medicinal drugs, and thats all we need. but marajuana... its just, no. i know there are ups, but imagine the drug overdoesage rates. they would skyrocket seeing as they are legal now... so more deaths would happen in that catagory. but think, how many people die already from smokine, let alone second hand smoke. this would only make the rates double! makeing our deaths over whelming. its just not good... and there is my argument

first, marijuana isn't like cigarrettes. doesn't really give you the lung cancer problem. just gets you high. i understand not getting high and driving, but people drink and drive. also the only real marijuana second hand smoke thing is getting high as well. impaired vision and judgement are the only real immediate problems from it.

as for drugs in general, the problems are already apparent in legal things
poping pills-kidney and liver damage (also caused by drinking)
snuffin-lung damage and cancer (also caused by smoking, but no second hand smoke)
other drugs- brain damage and the like(thx to our good friend alcohol)

the only drug that should never be legal under any circumstances is acid.
acid leaves stuff in your spinal cord, causes hallucinatory flashbacks
these flashbacks are unpredictable and dangerous
i quote heroin bob (who hated all drugs including heroin)
"acid will f*** you up for life man"

ha! the only! sure that might be true but those can cause many problems even death! you know that, and even though DUI is bad people still do it, what makes you think they wont drive while stoned?

[darklordbob]

exactly,
listen beer is legal even though people drink and drive
your main argument is that the occurences wil go up
so, because people will do more often what they are already doing
or because they will drive under the influence of something besides alcohol, it should not be legal
they will drive stoned
they already do
people drive drunk
either legalize these or ban alcohol and cigarettes and tobacco

yes! i agree, but prohibition was tried in the past, it didnt go over to well... other wise i say do it...

[darklordbob]

on the topic of medicinal marijuana, i say yes
there are people who suffer and are just waiting to die
you can let them be happy and relaxed, you can make them suffer, or let the kill themselves
these people aren't going to drive stone they never leave the hospital bed

[The Twilight Prince]

i understand medicinal... it just the ones who go out and buy it for the heck of it that worry me

[darklordbob]

well yah... but marijuana is the least damaging and if people could use it, but not go driving, that'd be cool

[The Twilight Prince]

but i still say keep drugs illegal, id rather not smell it or put up with the idiiots getting high on it

[darklordbob]

dont judge what you dont understand. dont condemn just because it is not your philosophy. dont hate because someone thinks differently

[The Twilight Prince]

as long as they dont get anywhere near me or some one i know, its fine, and if it efects me AT ALL there will be heck to pays
