Should US Legalize Marijuana?

Freebase Dali · 02-02-2012, 07:21 PM

I doubt there's a legit statistic out there that puts Marijuana second behind alcohol in drug-use-related hospitalizations.

This question... I mean, everyone subconsciouly knows the answer to it really, the answer is yes. But getting people to admit that they know legalizing this plant would be beneficial is another matter altogether. I mean Jesus, Hemp itself is so ****ing beneficial to mankind if you want to look at it from a humanist point of view, it can be used as a construction material, for paper ( preventing massive amounts of deforestation ), rope, clothes. Hey...Call me a hippie, but jesus christ. I hope I live to see the day when it is legalized, if not for my sake, for my kids or my kid's kids. If people got drunk less, and got high more ( even without tobacco ) the world would be a better place.

I know, it's harmless.

Where does tobacco come on that list?

They go to the hospital because of injuries sustained while intoxicated.

Seriously?

I apologize. I'm not calling you an idiot but it's just preposterous to think that marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol. I know from my own experience that alcohol provokes much worse behavior than marijuana does.

Having seen people hospitalised in psych wards I can't agree with it's harmless status. I know not everyone will be susceptible but in those that are it can be incredibly harmful.

I don't think anyone can argue with the ****ty behaviour that results from excessive alcohol consumption. Mind you if you really want to test the peacefulness of a pot-head try getting between them and their stash.

Yeah I completely agree with this.

That must be a relatively rare case.

Well it's only natural to get angry when someone tries to take something of yours. I also know many pot-heads that are more than happy to share their stash and smoke generously with others.
