[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] Gah! You people! WHY do you want to legalize the stuff in the first place? Does it MATTER whether or not we already have alcohol and tabbacco legalized? Does it MATTER that it's not any worse than the aforementioned substances? NO IT DOESN'T. Just because we have two bad things doesn't mean that we should go and add a third to the list. Because major world powers have nuclear weaponry, does that mean that we should authorize the use and development of biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction as well? No. It is a similar situation to this. Just because we have two bad things and aren't willing to ban them doesn't mean that we should say "what the heck?" and add something else. If we were to legalize marijuana, A LOT more people would use it. It would become a viable market. Prices for the stuff would drop, and everyone would be going to school stoned. I don't care whatever studies you have that say so on and so forth. The percentage of people using the substance would increase because heck, it could be sold in supermarkets, and predictably, the number of people ABUSING the drug would also increase. People would become at the very least psychologically dependent and perhaps move on to more harmful drugs. And do we REALLY want people high, in an altered state of mind, while they're working, or driving, or doing anything? As someone already pointed out, ther are other ways of achieving the same result without using drugs. Look at all those religious folks who had "visions." [/QB][/QUOTE]
