how thinks pot should be legalized???? and why do you think so?

Answer 1

marijuana is the most commonly uses illegal substance in the United States. it is used by many people, most of which aren't your stereotypical "druggie", with no life agead of them. Many of them hapen to be very successful, good people. Think about it almost if not every person who reads this paper will know (even if they don't realize it) at least one if not several regular users of marijuana. Its often made out to be much more harmful htan it really is, unfortunatly not every one realizes this.

What many people don't realize is marijuana is much less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Yet it's the one of the three that gets a bad rap and is illegal. Marijuana isn't even physicaly addicting. You certanly don't see meetings for marijuana like you do with alcohol and AA. Unfortunatly due to American culture the less harmful of the three is illegal.

The most common reason why marijuana can be harmful is that people can often come across laced marijuana without realizing it. Marijuana can easily be mixed with other more harmful drugs with out the buyer realizing it, until they have already used it. This is a dangerous thing that causes many people to do more harmful, hard core drugs without realizing it. If it were to be legalized the government could provide guide lines, like it does with alchol to insure that people knew what they were putting into their bodies.

Marijuana actually has many helpful benefits toward diseases / sicknesses. Marijuana can reduce nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by AIDS. It can Reduce interlobular pressure, which alleviates the pain and slowing and sometimes even stopping the progress of glaucoma. Common side effects of chemotherapy are nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting, all of which marijuana would help. It can limit muscle pain and relieve tremor nad unsteadiness of gait for multiple sclerosis patients. Marijuana can help prevent epileptic seizures in some patients. It can also alleviate chronic, often debilitating pain caused by myriad disorders and injuries. Each one of these applications have been deemed legitimate by at least one United States court, legislature, and/or government agency.

Due to these reasons and many others many people are going to jail/prison on a daily basis due to simply smoking a little pot These aren't dangerous criminals that would kill or rape someone. Many of them are teachers, lawyers and respected members of their communities. But yet we still pay thousands of dollars of tax payers money to lock up non dangerous "criminals" yearly even though most aren't going to stop after they get out of jail. Don't you think the money spent here is a waste? Couldn't it be going to more useful things such as hospitals, disease research, or better schools? These are the things that would benifit the people of this country. Certanily you would rather benefit the people more than throwing a non violent pot head in jail who was only trying to smoke a joint and relax after a long days work in jail. There is up to forty million regular (note thats just the regular not occasional users) drug users in the United states. If we were to throw all of them in jail it would cost $500,000 per million people, plus the cost and space of building many more prisons. Couldm't that money be spent on building hospitals? There's already about 1.5 million people tax payers are paying to keep in jail over drugs. From 1990 to 2003, nearly 5.9 million people had been arrested for smoking marijuana. Thats a greater number than the entire population of Alaska, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Montania, North and South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming combined. This country simply can't afford to put 40 million more in jail.

Marijuana should be legalized. It has many uses such as helping sick patients. People are going to smoke it no matter what the government sais, and with out govenment guidelines this can be dangerous. Not to mention the fact that we have no way we can afford to throw all those people in jail. Its much less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, which are legal, so doesn't it make sense that it would be also?

Answer 2

Yes I do. Alcohol is 10 more damaging than pot. It would free up prison space and last time I checked this was the United States of America and Freedom of Choice is guarantee to me by the Bill of Rights. I am a full grown adult and I am old enough to make my choice. I am pro pot

Answer 3

Pot should be legalized, it's the cigaretts that should be illegal- THEY ACTUALLY KILL PEOPLE! Pot can cause bronchitis, and it's effects are anywhere from 2-4 hours. If you haven't smoked cigaretts for a long time-like a couple of weeks, months, days (depending if you are a constant smoker) you get a buzz just like m.j, but it isn't necessarily a good one. If it helps cancer patients to eat, then maybe we chould give it to the people who have eating disorders such as anorexics and bulimics.

Answer 4

Actually, it is very hard to characterize increased regulation of recreational drugs as either left or right. There are a lot of libertarians on the right, who are opposed to the War On Drugs for the silly, ineffective, and unending intrusion into civil rights at massive taxpayer expense that it is, and there are plenty of nanny-staters on the left who welcome the opportunity to show off how authoritarian they can be.

And then there is just politics, for example, Bill Clinton stated in an interview with Rolling Stone immediately following his presidency that he supported the decriminalization of marijuana--but on his watch, the number of arrests for marijuana more than doubled.

Really, it is at least if not more likely that any real drug law reforms will come from Republicans rather than Democrats--because for whatever reason, nobody cares about the youthful "indiscretions" of Republicans, whereas an Democrat who proposes change will be widely accused of trying to deal crack to your kids.

Answer 5

To be consumer-pleasant weed isn't a concern of mine or my departments. If someone is a "to blame" pothead i'd not in any respect come for the length of them and it would not be an difficulty, regrettably it isn't the case. i have considered distinct persons carry out slightly incredibly ****** up stuff because they were severe...(similar will be stated for alcohol). I actually have extra themes with those who abuse alcohol that I do smoking weed. regrettably there'll alsways be some those who make unfavourable judgements, and we as a society ought to address the fall out. As on your question to no matter if the probibition of marijuana is doing society good. i do not extremely comprehend. there is a few analyze that study heavy weed utilization leads to psychological well-being themes later in existence, and acts as a gateway to different extra sturdy drugs. a similar will be stated of alcohol. The prohibition of marijuana also does supply some persons unfavourable perceptions of the police. (purely inspect a number of the ignorant reponses on your question). i imagine legalizing weed would get rid of the "taboo" and may genuinely shrink the variety of folk smoking it. some human beings in straight forward words do certain issues because they imagine it makes them a insurrection. also legalizing it, regulating and taxing it may create a lot extra income for the authorities.than fining tokers ever has. finally, opposite to prevalent delusion seldom all people is going to reformatory now to not teach reformatory for possession of pot for own use. We as police departments lose money of marijuana enforcement, as an party my OT pay for turning as a lot as courtroom is mostly 3 cases the fee of the cost ticket.

Answer 7

i do because there are too many people in over crowded prisons for marijuana. Which means they have to build more and that raises the taxes. I think we should legalize it and let the real criminals occupy the prison...plus everyone knows a lil kb never hurt anyone...TRUE FACT no one has ever died from smoking bud. people die from alcohol poisening and **** like that but not from the reefer
