Marijuana Legalization. Yay Or Nay.

[carole]

Tikeyas_mom you are probably right, however I have known several people who have gone onto harder drugs, but it does depend on the person, i guess.

Twisterdog, I AGREE with you, although I am personally very much against dope smoking, I believe making it legal will solve a lot of problems, and their will more than likely be a postive side to it, taxing it to the hilt is the way to go, it will be legal in NZ soon , I am pretty certain of that., right now the gangs make big money out of it, and their is a lot of drug associated deaths, when deals go sour.

Making it legal will not make any difference to MO, I will still be against it, so its not just a case of being against it because one is breaking the law for me, regardless how mild it is, it still is a mind altering drug FULLSTOP., and the long term effects will not be known for some years to come, will be interesting to see the older generation in years to come.

Just like to add one more thing, smoking dack,drinking booze, or even over-eating can all become addictions for some people, yes a lot of people can smoke dack with no real noticable effects(although long term we donot know for certain) and some people cannot, thats the bottom line really., some people can do it in moderation, and not become addicted, and some cannot, those who say its non-addictive, I would beg to differ, have seen that with my friend, he cannot live without it.
