[Debate] What's your view on legalizing weed?

[Torche]

Not all bad people but when you get too drunk and drive, what happens?​

Again it's a choice, they choose to drive drunk. Imo weed is better for you than alcohol, but I do neither.

Alchohol is legal but when you drink too much and get drunk you imediatly can't drive because you risk other people s life also if you hurt someone even when your drunk they will punish you weed is not healthy for the brain it casues and destroys short and long term memeory not only that but when you are high you are in a dirty version of yourself meaning you let stuff goo nothing really gets your attention all you do is stare at smth so weed should not be allowed at all people who smoke weed usually tend to become skinner too you know i v had so many health friends now they are so skinny and they smoke it everyday their short memory term is crap and their long is even more crap

Alcohol is legal, but people dont drink it TO GET DRUNK. They drink it cause its a drink and appeals to their taste.
After a couple drinks or even more (depends on the person) you may get tipsy.
Although, when u go to smoke a joint, YOU'RE DOING IT TO GET HIGH.
There is a big difference. And I hate when people compare Alcohol to Weed.

I think it's everybody's choice. If you want to use it you can have it either way illegal or no. I'm just against proclaiming weed as something harmless. It's not. Nothing that affects your brain in any way can be completely harmless for a human.

You aren't necessarily doing it to get high. You can be doing it as a stress relief. People do drink alcohol to get drunk too.

 

[cgrin]

I think they should take a picture out of the book from countries who had prior experience with it. Legalizing it only make it worse! They could always use it for medicinal purposes rather than opening the door to a lot of psychological problems, especially by abusers and those who want to use it to harm people. They haven't seen the last of it yet. Where I am from speaks volume. Ask the Rasta's of the caribbean Isl.!!:devil:

Uhm a choice, last week i went to one of my old friends house and they started smoking weed, they offered me some but hey, i denied that and i was just playing ps3 a little bit, after a while, few friends of my friend left and my friend's sister and him started fighting because of the weed and shit, even he picked up a knife and tried to kill her, thank god i was there, he won't do anything bad to me because we're friends since 2007. After i took the knife out of his hands i told him to take it easy and then again he wanted to punch her bad and yeah... things got ugly but at the end of the day, drugs are bad. Weed is bad for a lot of people.​

True, but they know that they are gonna get high after the joint.
People don't get drunk after one beer or one shot. If they keep doing it, yeah. But I don't really think that's their goal. Cause getting drunk isn't a good feeling like getting high would be.

That's unfortunate. The same is said for alcohol though, there are violent drunks and there are not. It probably seems like I'm defending them, but I'm not.

 

[BK 201]

I smoke it all the time even through college while I got my masters degree so your friends were dumb before they smoked weed.

This, you have no one to blame for one's failures than the person itself. That's just a lack of responsibility on someone else's part cause plenty of people including myself do just fine with weed in their life.

OT: Well since I smoke, of course is rather it be legal but it has many other benefits to it being legal, just look at Colorado for example. Anyways, I wouldn't have an issue with it being illegal if alcohol was illegal but that's not the case. Alcohol is definitely worse for a person than weed, physically and mentally. I feel like both should be either legal or illegal. Oh and I actually like drinking too.

It seems you're defending them, although i don't have a problem of them legalizing weed but in a moderate way, not like you can buy a bag of weed every hour... nah....

Im against it but who cares, the government is corrupt. ​

 

[Desiigner]

I don't smoke, nor drink and I'm not completely sure on this, but imho they should legalize it.
Legalization of drugs is a huge way to stop Mafia business and it keeps the criminal rate lower. Look how many people get murdered because of drugs being illegal. Also, I think that they should legalize everything, because if you wan't to take drugs, you will take them. Whether they are legal or not. I think if they prohibit weed, they should also prohibit alcohol, which causes way more deaths than weed. I believe that only one, or not even a single person died of weed, and I haven't heard of much accidents either.
That's just my opinion. ^_^
Staying sober is the best tho! :'D

I second this, my boy.

For God's sake...Not normal.

 

[Mattek2008]

I'm for it....

I'd never start smoking though, but atleast it would be safer for those who do smoke it. Getting it legally instead of some shady dealer.

Haha, I agree with that last statement. Yeah I'm not defending them. None of my family do it, neither do I, I just don't see the point. I have friends that do it and I've been there when they've done it on odd occasion and it never affected them, or if it did it was so minuscule that you didn't notice. But yeah, **** the government XD

Eehm..I can't mention one person other than my dad that enjoys a drink for the taste. And he never gets tipsy, one beer every 6 mnths or so. Anywho, alcohol is damaging, marijuana is only damaging if you use it excessively. Anything is bad when it's abused..

 

[iNotorious]

It's normal, for them, when i met them, they were free of that crap, they were CLEAN. Now they are just always smoking weed, all the times. It just sad, it makes me feel bad and like i have to do something but no matter what i tell them, they will keep doing it. And i don't want to break our friendship because when i moved from Dominican Republic to USA, they were my first friends, they were the one that helped me to adapt to a new country, new language, a new everything.​

Maybe they do it in a moderate way and not like everyday, well i just have seen people who use it most of the times, i mean DAILY, it's just sad.​

I get it bro but those things can escalate into someone gettin' hurt.

 

[vasu 32]

Well I'm not from America so it doesn't affect me much but still here are my thoughts. It's ****ing dangerous. Any drug is, when used as an addiction, and not prescribed by doctors, is dangerous. With all the pro-medical marijuana publicity going out there, people are forgetting the dangers of this drug.

This very matter indicates the low intelligence level of America's youth in general, IMO. [ No offence and hats off to those who are opposing it ]. Why? 'Cause legalization, decriminalization or medicalization of marijuana do not make it harmless but for many just because the drug is ranked in with medical treatments, the clear implication is that the drug is harmless. WOW !! MAKE IT LEGAL, CAUSE DOCTORS USE IT. SUCH INTELLIGENCE AND AWARENESS...

Immediate effects of marijuana include distortions of time and space perceptions and impaired coordination. Long term, that's memory loss or lack of concentration.

Chronic use of this drug and higher dosages correlate to greater incidence of psychosis and schizophrenia. Try to avoid it, take it away from it's addicts and they'll suffer from worst of the irritability, anxiety and depression.

Anyway that's my view on the matter.

 

[iNotorious]

The thing is that it escalated quickly, when i calmed my friend down, his sister was provoking him to hit HER, she was calling her a ***** and i kept telling her to stfu and yeah he was able to hit her but not in a way that hurted her.... well sorta. The thing is weed makes you ''crazy'' .... i don't know how to explain myself.​
