When concerning things like marijuana, which is a hot topic subject currently (whether or not to legalize it), they use the statement "it's bad for you". However, just how much weight does that hold? If the arguement was that it shouldn't be legal because it's "bad for you", couldn't that same arguement be held to smoking or alcohol? But on the flipside, if it hold no weight, then where do we draw the line? Legalizing cocaine? Legalizing crystal meth?

My statement about alcohol and smoking means that if the arguement held for those as it does for marijuana, should'nt they be illegal?

That is true alcohol and cigarettes could have the same argument as well because they are just as bad as marijuana. I don't think they would ever legalize cocaine or crystal meth because those are extremely bad for you. With weed though it actually could be legalized because I feel smoking cigarettes is worse. At least weed can sometimes be used to heal people and it's natural. Smoking is just plain bad for you. I think that if weed is illegal, smoking should be too but it never will be because of all the money it makes! Alcohol should be illegal too for those who are alcoholics but it never will be either because of all the money that is being made! The US is stupid because money should not be more important than people's health. That's just the way it is, I guess.

True. And if so, why don't they ban fat foods? I mean they've already legally taken trans fat out of foods.
The fact of the matter is, when there is a big corporation backing someone, it doesn't matter. Big Tobacco, Big Oil, and every other company has this country in a big, corporate testicular vice, always have. And until there's a Big Marijuana, despite its proven medical findings, there will be no legality to the use of it.

smoking and alcohol are bad for you, so you're not making sense. Just because they're legal does not make them good.
