      i think all drugs, except the extreme ones like coke, heroin, pcp, lsd, etc. should be legalized, why should the government control what i want to do wit my body? caffeine pills are legal even though they can cause strokes and are addictive. its like the seatbelt law too, if i dont wanna wear a seatbelt and die in an accident it should be my choice, not the governments.

      Well see that's different though. Here the government is trying to directly save your life, rather than make your life slightly more difficult by forcing you to get drugs illegally. And besides, it's not just your life that you're putting in danger if you don't wear seatbelts. Say you're the driver, not wearing a seatbelt, and you get in an accident and fly out the front windshield. What about the passengers in your car? Once the driver's gone, there's no one to control that huge machine, and they could be put in even more danger because of the driver's carelessness.

      i dont get that, if i flew out the front windshield its cuz im already in an accident and the car already hit somethin so theres no real way that the passenger is put in any more danger, but anyway i just compared the two cuz theyre examples of government controlling aspects of our lives i dont think they should have any say over. same with gambling and prostitution, if i wanna gamble away my lifes savings or get an std it should be my own choice.

      Tobacco is easily controlled by the government which creates it's great revenue, along with aclohol. Marijuana, however, is not controlled by the government whatsoever. Would legalising it really help with the abuse of the drug at all? Or just make it easier to access?
      ~
      Legalisation in itself will do nothing except get the cops off everyone's backs. If it's legalised, controlled, and sold for a reasonable price, there won't be as much profit to be made from illegal grow-ops. If the gov't can provide a good, clean product at a decent (but not overly-low) price, people will see much more incentive to get it from them.

      It wouldn't help with 'abuse' necessarily, but the alcohol/tobacco situation isn't either...That's a different issue. A line needs to be drawn between use and abuse...Not all drug use is abuse.[/b]
      That's the #1 reason why canada sucks.

      I think you may be thinking about this in the wrong way. You make it sound like they're out to get you. A lot of those rules are in place to stop people who are too dumb or stubborn to know what to do to keep themselves out of harms way.

      See if you wanted to gamble away your life savings, you could, but that leaves you broke and most likely homeless. Not a good outcome.

      Also, if you wanted to get an STD you could, but that would leave you itchy and burning. Death may also be on the horizon. Also, not a good outcome.

      You can do things like smoke pot and gamble and stuff by all means, no one here is gonna stop you, but we just say you'd be better off... well... not doing... stuff. Yeah.
      The best times of your life should not be when you're still so young, or else you'll live a life always dreaming of the past.

      I don't think either should be banned. if someone wants to ruin their life or RISK ruining their life with smoking and/or drugs then let them.

      Well.. maybe someone will want to ruin their life during a sudden burst of depression or some messed up impulse or something.. and then wake up the next morning with a clearer head, saying, "What was I thinking???" I think it's those people that the government is trying to protect.

      paperdoll gets what im tryin to say, i mean i know these laws were meant for the good of society and all, but if i want to partake in something thats unhealthy, risky, whatever, as long as it doesnt hurt anyone but myself it should be my choice not the governments as to whether or not to do it. and i dont think the governments out to get me i just think the government is tryin to exert control over people in ways that they shouldnt.

      Yeah but... second hand smoke... and if someone is on weed or something and runs into someone then they might be ruining their life but they are also ruining others too...

      I don't know why a single person would ever want to smoke a cigerate. Everyone knows all the problems thats come with it. Only thing I can think of is they can't think past 20 minutes into the future. You start smoking as a kid chances are you going to be breathing through a tube at 40. Thats always a nice picture, 40 or 50 year old wheeling around their tank of oxigen then they pull out a pack and start smoking. By then you can't quit even if you want to.

      I have a question, if you have to be 18 to smoke and 21 to drink, why do people smoke pot at 12? I guess if your going to break the law might as well go all the way and do it while young.

      From my experience with people i've met it's to "fit in"

      Yeah it'd never work, making them illegal. Same reasons I mentioned with the alcohol thing in a previous post.

      Actually British Columbia, where Vancouver is(west coast canada), is known for having the best cannabis in north america. Even better than northern california(humbolt, mendocino).
