Legalizing Drugs.

[jakob-b]

Legalizing drugs would make our streets safer, not only that, it would end prison overcrowding. People are in jail for 5 times longer for a drug offense than people with Rape and other horrible crime offenses, how in the hell does that go on? Drug legalization would also free up police resources to fight other crimes. It would also unclog the court system. Not only that, but it would reduce official corruption. Another huge reason is legalization would save tax money. Legal drugs would also be safer, and it would completely destroy organized crime. Also, what with the use of needles, it would help stop the spreading of HIV and AIDS. It would also stabilize foreign countries, and make them way safer.

i'm telling you now im not very good at debating but ill give it a shot.

legalizing drugs now in todays culture would influence kids to do drugs, even though now this is becoming a 'trend' to do drugs kids will do it now without being put in juvey. Drugs are most of the reason why people die though this is because some kids are 'pressured' into doing this or do this because they say it's their 'rebellious' stage of life [teen years] or some people might experiment with a drug then can suddenly be hooked and cannot quit as this is a 'anti-depressant' one might tell you but it is actually a 'depressant' because once you take a drug you get 'high' and things are so wonderful then when you're not 'high' things seem to be more dull so you need to take more drugs to get that 'high' again this end in death of overdose leading drugs to be bad!

the end's gay sorry im not that good

k dude your explanation sounds like you looked it up and stuff


but anywho i think theres uppers and downers to drugs being legalized some people said the uppers like danny some people said the downers like madis

legalizing drugs is like legalizing murder. its stupid

 

[jeff26]

Ummmmmm, dumbass? COMPLETELY different, like seriously wtf are you talking about haha?

 

[seankane]

bump, but i don't care.

first the typical disclaimer: i'm not advocating drug use. psychedelics aren't for everyone and they can really fuck up your mind if used incorrectly.

with that said, katamari and guitar hero while on mushrooms is the most amazing thing ever. i've never laughed so hard in my life as i did watching my friend play katamari, and guitar hero... my fingers just seemed to move magically without even thinking about it as i stared at all the pretty colors on the tv. i was in awe.

dannys got good points... lets do it now!

i dont know about that. one of my friends who smokes weed everyday told me once "oh yea i quit im just gonna start selling now" but then i was at the river like a week later and there he was smoking weed and i was like "i though you quit?" then he was like "i cant, its to hard. im addicted", and he still smokes to this day, so i guess it can be

notice i said physically impossible. like brian said, you can develop a mental addiction, but thats rare. i dont know anyone that has ever had a problem quitting smoking, but it can happen.

i didnt see the physical. but he really is addicted, like he told me at least 8 times he quit but then he juts does it more and now hes on harder drugs. but hes still the funneist kids ever lol

i'm sorry but do you know how many people say they aren't addicted but when you say "then quit" they will say no

they like the drug so much that they won't quit which would be classified as an addiction a mental which really is very common in weed

i don't see what point you're trying to make. they like it, so they keep smoking it. addiction is when you CANT quit even though you want to. what you're describing is someone who enjoys smoking and has no desire to quit. that isn't addiction, mental or physical.

hahaha make the streets safer? they will pbe people thizzed up on e running around thinking its ok and a legal. I dont knwo if you have ever witnessed people on REAL drugs. It's not good. They should just make mroe prisons then! a special prison for driggies only. Danny do you do drugs? your gonna end up there

No, I don't. I'm sure i'll probably experiment some day but not soon, i just think they should be legalized.

 

[PyAMP]

quitting is so easy if you want to do it you kids with your out of 6th grade health class mindsets!!

 

[oconn7]

They arent allowed to advertise cigarettes on TV because of how bad they are for you, if alcohol advertisements are allowed on TV then weed would probably be allowed as well.

Weed is almost as bad, if not worse than smoking weed for you lungs. Smoking blunts is so bad for your lungs, you get tobacco and weed both at once.

I think I understand what you are trying to say but could you rephrase that?

And just so nobody gets the wrong idea, I do not care if people do drugs.

Weed is almost as bad, if not worse than smoking cigarettes for your lungs. My fault, i wrote weed twice.

thats exactly what i was thinking brian

personally, ive done my fair share of drugs, and in my experience the most dangerous drug is alcohol. thats the only thing i've ever done that has caused me to end up doing shit i regretted. on pretty much anything else im way too paranoid to do anything stupid. im thinking you haven't actually witnessed people on REAL drugs...

also, i don't approve of the legalization of all drugs. i dont think itd be wise to legalize drugs such as heroine and meth since theyre so insanely addictive, but most other drugs i don't see the problem in.

ummm u know i was like addicted to weed for like a week and was just permafried but then i was like this is kind of dumb all it does is make me hungry but i did have some good times with it and u know i dont know if it should be legal or not people say its not legal just cause the government cant make money off of it lol

seeing that you have trouble formulating an actual sentence, i find it hard to believe you.


he wasn't addicted, he just liked it, alot.


you were addicted for a week? please check your dictionary for the definition of addiction. it means you can't stop. if you were only smoking for a week, then you weren't addicted to weed, which is physically impossible anyway.


Edit: More People Die From Prescribed Drugs Than From All Illegal Drugs Combined!

fact, read the story.

I dont think legalizing drugs is a good idea. In my mind they are like being emo. your hurting yourself for no reason. a little bit of pleasure for so much to pay? go do somehing good for you instead. I find drugs just wrong. Ive never tried them and i never will. One of my friends just smokes and i find that disgusting already. Legalizing would just make the world high. THats not a good thing. If your worried about the prisons being overcrowded its not drugs fault, its the peoples. I do howeer agree that its not right to get a longer sentance for illegal drug use than like Wardick said, rape or something like that.

Dude... what the fuck are you talking about? Being emotional hurts yourself? I think you have some terms mixed up.

1st bold - First off, by using the term "emo" I'm guessing you look at it as kids cutting themselves and listening to shitty music? As brian said ^^^^, you ought to get your terms sorted out.


2nd bold - Just because drugs are legal, you think THAT many more people will do them? I would say maybe like %0.01 of the population might try drugs JUST because they're legal, because anyone who wants to try them could easily just go out and buy them right now.

but my friend told me he quit, then a week later he did it again and told me he couldnt quit because it was way to hard

If you threw you friend in a room and locked it, and didn't let him out for a week, hes not going to say i need to smoke a blunt, hes gonna say get me the fuck out of this room... a heroin addict is gonna start puking and shitting everywhere because they need heroin. If you get what im saying, if your friends around it hes not going to quit... its a different story for people addicted to hard drugs.

exactly, there is no physical dependence to marijuana. when youre a heroine addict and you try to quit your body seriously hates you, so its nearly impossible. the only reason people don't quit smoking weed is because they don't want to, as opposed to heroine addicts that know its killing them, they just cant stop.
