Its an issue in our society today: Should marijuana be legalized?
Critics argue that it is a menace on a functioning society. Users argue that it is a non psychically addictive high (which many scientific tests have backed up) and its main point of hurt is the lungs, but it is less harmful than tabac and No one has ever died from cannabis, it is estimated that a fatal overdose would be around 600 grams.
Alcohol is the real menance to society, yet unlike cannabis, it is legal. Every Friday and Saturday night, people go out and binge themselves silly (whilst spending lots of money) and thousands die every month. They start fights, run up taxes with hospital bills, and drink driving is still a big killer. Alcohol kills brain cells, and while your drunk your brain functions slower, which creates the desired effect. While as when you are stoned, it actually speeds up your brain, and is incredibly cheap for a desired effect. Alcoholics go round beating people, stoned people sit at home and philophise, laugh, and are happy. Im not saying alcohol nescercarilly is a bad thing, as it should still be a part of our society (but it is a part that needs addressing) but how is it that a drug that kills so many and a drug that kills ZIP is legal and the other isn't?
If you are anti-cannabis, it is likely that you just don't know the facts, like most people do, because cannabis gets thrown in the same basket as cocaine, E, heroin, speed it gains a bad name. The word ' Drug ' is almost a taboo, and people become scared. America Spends 20 BILLION yearly, on a drug war which they lose every year. They spend money bringing people to jail instead of trying to re-habilitate the heroin addicts and cocaine users, which is alot less costly, and if they would legalise it, they would cut down on in my opinion, totally unesseracy prision cost for weed smokers, and also benefit from taxes from weed equalivelent of cigarettes. Did you know, that many big cigarrete brands, anticipating the legalisation of cannabis sometime in some country (as in holland it is not legal, contrary to popular belief, it is only decriminalised ie the authorities turn a blind eye) have made secret brand logos? Marlboro have brilliantly made a ' Weedrette' called Marley!
What do you think? Should it be legalised? thoughts, opinions and facts here please.
