It makes stoner kids. Argument over.

Use intelligent and legitimate arguments, please.

What do you mean? Why?


Stoner kids make crap music, chat pop-philosophy, love the sound of their voice and won't shut up about smoking weed.

If we had more of them I'd be forced to take heroin to escape the collapse of society.

There is one reason. It lowers your sense of motivation, so if it was legalised there would be a lot of people smoking it, naturally. If nobody is motivated, nobody works hard. If nobody works hard, products aren't made, people don't make money and thus economy fails.

Disagree.

Reform.


What would this reform consist of?

Why would your method be better than total legalization?

If we were to legalize smoking cannibis, there would be more idiots that smoke weed.

  Back it up, please.


 
 1.People who smoke weed are idiots  
 2.Legalizing weed would mean more people who smoke weed.  
 3.More idiots.

Where's the accuracy in that?

"people who smoke weed are idiots".

Sweeping generalization, and flat out wrong.

 
People who are black are idiots.  

See? I can do the same thing.


There are alot of african americans that do not score high enough on standardized tests.

However, people who regularly smoke pot don't score high on tests, go to nice colleges and get well paying jobs, they are on the low side of the specturm.

Disagree. It's an uncontrolled narcotic that impairs a person's ability to react normally to a given situation. Because it affects the brain, it drastically lowers your state of conciousness, impairing you for life.

So... why are the legal narcotics legal?

Alcohol, OTC amphetamines, OTC opioids...


Alcohol isn't a narcotic. The other two are only allowed through prescription for people in serious pain.

Total legalization could lead to governmental regulation of product.

Prices would go down due to competition, and large firms could mass produce weed at extremely low costs and the idea of private growers would be obsolete.

I seriously doubt it would go that far.

It's easier for most US public school children to get their hands on marijuana than alcohol.

I think a lot more people smoke weed than you guys think. I agree, total abuse of absolutely any intoxicating substance is bad, and will directly affect your life. You're always better off not using any substance. Enough people use it now that we can say we aren't going to start everyone smoking weed if we legalize it. If someone wants to smoke weed, they can get weed very easily (more easily than if it were legal) no matter the legality of it.

Who's going to just all of a sudden start smoking marijuana habitually because of the change of legalization of the substance?

Alcohol isn't a narcotic. The other two are only allowed through prescription for people in serious pain.


Amphetamine's have nothing to do with dulling pain, they're prescribed to our children who need help in school.

So the opioids have been proven to directly affect the functioning of the liver, kidneys, and brain permanently after very short term abuse. Shorter than cocaine, in fact. If pot dulls pain the same way, why don't people get prescribed pot instead of these poisons?
