Should marijuana be legalized?

[xBaron Dants]

Health Canada actually does grow marijuana that is used for medicinal purposes.

As for the rest, there are many ifs and buts that are still debated.
However, legalization gives the impression that it is perfectly OK to buy marijuana, as it is sold everywhere. With decriminalization, people still do not want to get involved because they possibly don't want to get involved with dealers and all.

On the whole, I think it creates a lot more problems than it solves..

All drugs should be legalized and sold in candy shops.

I agree.

if it were legalized, it would also be a lot safer, if I had an option to buy from CVS or a Dealer, I'd go with CVS, there would be some quality control

A dealer sold some tea to my cousin. You can't imagine how expensive tea may be nowadays...

Concerning marijuana, I agree with the fact that there exists some examples of countries where legalization was undertaken, or at least weed tolerated, and everything was (almost) alright. (Holland, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium...)

Saying that weed is harmless is completely false, it depends completely on the usages. If you smoke 150 cigarettes a day, drink 1 bottles whysky at each lunch, you life expectancy will be reduced to 0.
If you're stoned from morning to evening, it should have consequences on your body. It's a naive-pretty-anarchist pretext.

The fact is that people has never learned to control this pleasure. This education is the role of the government which decide to legalize, it's under its responsability.
This is why in several countries in Europe, weed is tolerated but not legalized, except for Holland. Legalizing suppose creating a complete system to have the perfect control on the behaviours around this stuff. It needs time and money, at least for the system to be created.

Now, another problem is that if the government takes control of this market, the actual dealers would deal other stuff. One says in France that is will explode the suburbs. It opens the door to really really xxxxty drugs, the better candidate being the crack (easy, cheap, and disastrous consequences on the brain).

Finally, government should create a complete law infrastructure which is also difficult, since smoking is an habbit an may impact on many fields (driving, working, smoking in the street etc...)

So, it's not so easy

Marjuana should be legalized! and other drugs should be thrown away and never returned. Although i believe there should be an age of distribution and a certain amount of distribution, so that we won't have our government and police officers being pot heads, even though they still are although it is controlled extremely well.

should legalise cannabis, but put a lot of money into dedterring people from it.

In a socialist society, there would be less stress anyway, so less need for the 'erb.

Im not a regular smoker, but i'll have it now and again, at a party or two, but i think it easily leads to other drugs, which is bad

If you believe it to be bad and think it leads to other drugs then why even do it now and then? Stick to one thing either you do it and you like it and you dont say xxxx against it or you dont do it and you can say as much as you want.
