In the United States, for the most part, it is illegal to get "high." Personally I don't think it should be legalized. I usually I have good backing to my reasons but I discovered that I don't have good arguments against it. I was having a debate with my buddy and he was questioning why it is illegal considering the following.

1) PERSONAL HEALTH: All have negative health affects. Considering alcoholics, heavy cigarette smokers, and frequent marijuana users, which one of those most frequent health problems on the highest percentage? Consider an overdose on any of them. Consider factors such as those that share factors such as memory loss.

2) HARM TO OTHERS: I'm pretty sure that alcohol's got them all beat. I'm not so sure on a percentage basis. Second hand smoke?

3) MEDICINAL USE: I don't remember the last time someone got recommended booze or cigarettes from the doctor. Why not?

Can anyone think of GOOD reasons why we shouldn't decriminalize it or just criminalize them all?

I am a student who has difficulties committing myself on paper. I have ordered copies from the library - but because it is more than 5% of the book - they have only copied that much and said that's it. It is an old book 150 years old - the guy who edited or complied it is dead.

At the moment I quite frustrated and angry, I understand that if they copied more than 5% they would be breaking the law, but in not copying the material I need are they being illegal with the DDA?

I can't help it if I cannot commit myself on paper effectivley

What was the intent of the law that protects retirement funds off limits to legal penalties? I can understand not wanting to have indigent cons and ex-cons. But it seems like you could accomplish that by saying the first 2 or 3 million dollars is off limits to legal action. But $33 million??!! OJ rakes in $25k a month!
