And almost all forum drug topics are for people to rationalize their own drug use, so f**k off and create a better, more creative topic.


I've never taken any illicit drugs and yet I support legalization

Don't know about all, but in the cause of marijuana of course point #2 applies.
I like when people say "ZOMG! You want some pilot flying high? or a surgeon operating on you?"
No, but I wouldn't want them doing that drunk either.
Big dumbies...

And KoS you silly goose, I think a lot more advocate without use then we assume.

I never said that advocates all use drugs.
I said forum topics.

Yes. It has to be legal. There's no reason to keep it illegal. There is no reason to that people can't do what they want with their bodies...

On the one hand, I don't really care, although I still think you're stupid for doing it. On the other hand, I don't want any more smoke in public places, but I guess the strength of marjuana would prevent people from smoking it like cigarettes.

I am not against legalization of marijuana, just against the use of it. No vote.

Yes. One big problem though is driving under the influence of it. I've never used it myself, but apparently when you do you'll have to wait a couple of days until you're allowed to drive a car. That will certainly be a problem, even if it is legalized.

If people would pay attention to the Libertarian thread (as you all should) we wouldn't have to have these polls.

^ Sorry I'm a vegetarian not a Libertarian. Munchies are those mean square rolo type sweets right? I know if my kids have been smoking......there's no peanut butter in the house.

Yeah, it should be legalized everywhere, and not just for medical use.
 
Btw that's really stupid, the medical marijuana distribution system is so easy to abuse and a lot of people do. So just legalize it already. There's many more benefits to it's legalization than there is to keeping it illegal. I think cutting down on drug related crime and allowing cops to focus their attention on stuff that's actually important is the big thing.

Its cars that should be illegal, not marijuana.

But its obvious that it should be legalized. These kinds of arguments are irrelevant, as long as countries where its still illegal, like Germany and UK have a higher percentage of the population using "soft drugs" than in the Netherlands. So with legalizing, you get less drugrelated issues, not more. Punishing, or even send to jail people that smoke to get high (and forcing them to interact with the crimeworld) is a waste of time, money and resources.

(Btw: I think stoners are generally the dullest people on the planet, and only poison myself with alchohol)
