Question of the day (March 18th, 2011)

[Insomnom]

What are your stances on marijuana (possession or use)?
Do you think it should be legalized in your area? If it already is, do you think it should be outlawed?
Of course, please explain why you think/feel the way you do.  ;D

[Sad Panda]

It should be allowed in my opinion. One of the reasons it isn't already is because crime rate will supposedly go up. Srsly? No pot smoker is going to steal a car. Don't get me wrong, they'll try. They'll walk up to some dude in his car and it will go along like this...

"Hey man... Can I like get your car or something?" says the pot smoker.
Vrooooooooooooom.
"Wait, man.... Don't go... So can I get that car yet?" says the pot smoker again.

When you forbid it, it'll go trough the black market, as it goes now in USA. And murder and crime comes with it.
When you legalize it, people will use it more cause you could be buying it in shops just like in Holland.
I do love that it's legalized in Holland. I admit I like to smoke pot at the coffee-shop often. But i also see than youths can get it easily because their older friends can buy it.
It doesn't matter if you legalize it or forbid it. It'll bring problems anyways.

Drugs are bad. Never do it.

Should be treated the same as Alcohol. Just taxed really high.

[Rivin X]

Uhm, i think smoking marijuana it's the best thing to ever be experienced by mankind, and should it be legalized? f*ck YES. 4/20 <3

[Sad Panda]

Pshhhh, 4/19 is way better (b-day) (;

[Pride]

I personally think that it should be legalized, but for strict medical use only. It's already going around as regular use... No point in legalizing it really, people do it anyway.

The problem is...

If Marajuana is leagalized (In the U.S.), then it will be easier to obtain.  Over a long period of time, smoking pot [can] be bad for your health; so an addiction will be bad in the long run.  If it's avaliable to a large amount of people, then more people will be harmed from it, causing the gov't money to pay for the treatement (Since the U.S. Just got nationalized healthcare), not to mention that people might start doing heavier drugs, after they've started marajuana.

Dopamine is a natural brain drug that triggers happiness. Dopamine receptors are what make the drug work. Using marijuana overuses the receptors and ends up destroying them. When you stop smoking you become depressed quite frequently and may commit suicide.
