Medicinal marijuana should be legal, but highly regulated so that it isn't abused. There are some niche cases where it is really useful such as treating certain forms of seizures, unfortunately progress in legalizing it for medicinal use has been hindered by the fact that in many states where medicinal use is legal, they use it as a loophole. There are whole clinics dedicated to having people walk in, claim they have a headache or some other BS, then get prescribed medicinal marijuana. Things like that need to be cracked down on.

Recreational use should remain illegal, but punishment for possession should be reformed so that its more about therapy to overcome addiction than to simply stick them in a jail cell. People shouldn't get lengthy sentences because they screwed up and got hooked on drugs. It's a waste of taxpayer money and they deserve a 2nd chance. Those caught selling drugs are different though, they're fueling addiction, and deserve the sentences they get.

Nah I think it might as well all be legal. People are going to use it anyway, might as well let the law take care of more important things and let prison hold more dangerous people than someone that got caught with an ounce of weed. Would rather have stoners arrested for driving high/public intoxication than for having a bag of it in their pocket.

Firstly, I'd like to state I've only read this page (page 14) and the first, so if something I state has already been negated earlier on please let me know.
Yes, there's a TL;DR at the bottom, because I love you all

There's no true benefit to marijuana legalisation, whether for medicinal usage or recreational. The cons simply out-do the pros for both scenarios.
Medical usage of cannabis is minimal, there being many more better-performing drugs already legalised and that medical marijuana has unwanted side effects. Common usage, when necessary, includes softening nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients. However this is generally in the form of THC tablets, not the actual cannabis plant. THC tablets are able to be synthetically produced, but alternatives exist. Rather, cases of bronchitis and potentially cancer have been linked, the former extremely, to the use of cannabis, as it contains over 50 carcinogens. It's also been linked to cardiovascular disease and arteritis.
Usage in adolescents has also shown a somewhat permanent decreased cognitive ability. One time use, not so much, however consistent use showed this.
Quote:
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that cannabis is unlikely to be useful as medicine as "(1) it is an unpurified plant containing numerous chemicals with unknown health effects; (2) it is typically consumed by smoking further contributing to potential adverse effects; and (3) its cognitive impairing effects may limit its utility."
Recreational usage is only really used for those who want to get high. Let's face it. Now, the effects may not be as detrimental as say, heroin, however in-direct fatalities and injuries are relatively common. While ODing on cannabis is near impossible, the symptoms experienced by users make roads, construction, and general day to day life extremely unsafe for the individual and others, not to mention the side effects mentioned above.

A common argument is "Alcohol is worse". Well, yes it is. It's only still legal as it's become ingrained in our culture and way of life. But just because it's still legal, doesn't mean cannabis has to be too. Think of all the lives that have been lost due to alcohol related incidents, whether liver fail, drunk driving, or falling off a cliff/onto the road/really doing anything.
I ask you all, is it really worth countless lives to introduce another harmful drug into society?

Didn't read your entire post but this part isn't true. Legalizing it would allow the government to tax it, and there have been cases where those prone to seizures have been nearly cured due to cannabis oils.

Fulgore 03-23-2016 03:48 AM
Just do the same damn thing you do with alcohol, you make it legal, put a little bit of juice in the economy, and then regulate it the same way we do for alcohol, for safety concerns.

TL;DR:Marijuana is bad/pointless for society to legalise. Practically useless in the medical field currently and changing one's mental state (ie getting high) is bad for the individual and society.

While it would provide tax money for the government, it's worth noting that the price of marijuana would drop tremendously with the legalisation. Although prices could be set high if there's a high tax. Regardless, it wouldn't have that much of an impact on a state's tax income.

Also, though these cases have happened, they need more research before they can be fully verified to alleviate seizures. There's also that they are many seizure medications available for patients to find what works best for them.

You kind of missed the debate. And no, the prices wouldn't drop. It's already legal in a lot of places and it's actually more expensive then street prices. Look up the revenue it brings in from the Country, then look up the amount they spent incarcerating individuals for it, and the war on drugs, and just imagine how much they saved.

Marijuana may be harmful for your body, but so is everything else. It's not even significantly harmful.

Also, typing a lot doesn't make your post appear more intelligent.

It just means nobody will read it.

20 billion dollars a year, just on Marijuana.

There's 610k homeless people in America.

With the amount of money they spend on the war on weed, they could give each homeless person 32k dollars a year. Anyone who thinks it should be illegal is just an asshole at this point.

Not even mentioning that Colorado alone brought in millions from Marijuana taxes.

20 billion dollars spent on enforcing marijuana laws is a justifiable amount, as its intentions are not just to arrest those abusing cannabis. Declaring war on drugs is not just declaring war on illicit drugs, it is declaring war on those who deal, use, sell, and involve themselves with illicit drugs - crime syndicates and the like. We all know of their dodgy dealings in black markets, and one of the ways governments try to combat them is to cut out their front line. Arresting those with weed is the best way to do this as weed is carried around a lot more frequently and less securely than 'harder' drugs such as cocaine. As such, the government is working to protect its citizens from crime syndicates and the harmful effects of cannabis.
If we were really were to cut some part of the US budget, why not the military? The military budget for 2012 was a whooping $682 billion.

Did you really just suggest spending less money on our Military which protects us constantly from threats that otherwise would wreak havoc killing millions over just dropping an ineffective waste of time and prison space?

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...2cdaf774da.jpg
Also... Nobody even buys weed like you suggested. Half of the dealer's are pretty friendly and likely won't rip you off. This isn't the 1980's anymore. Drop the misconceptions or stop debating.

And if you refer to Cocaine as a 'harder drug' then I can see why you take Marijuana so seriously.

Why do you compare drugs to food? That has to be the most idiotic statement I have ever read considering they are nothing alike??
Well food releases dopamine which makes you happy and so does weed. So they clearly are the same. i joke

You gotta be specific: ounces, grams, pounds, etc.

People are going to do it anyway, so imo it would be worth legalizing it. (refer to my previous post above)

I said that because someone said it 'kills you' and I was comparing it to how slow McDonalds kills you, which it does.

It was obviously not serious, but you can take it seriously if you'd like.

Well it's the way you're reacting to this whole thing. It's like you're taking everything as a personal attack. No one's trying take away your precious weed, just stop masquerading it to be something great when really...it's not.

Sure, it has some medical benefits with cancer or whatever. That doesn't mean everyone should be smoking it like a freight train...and I get the whole depression thing believe me, but weed isn't the answer to that. It's a crutch, as I have stated before. It doesn't make you better, it makes you worse and dependent on it. You'll end up going down a road where you can't be happy without it, unless that actually is the road you want to go down.

The only reason I'm for legalizing it is so we can put real dangerous people in prison and so sure, we can tax it. I still strongly advise against using it.

I agree a bit, I'm all for legalization but Distorted over here is making a fool of himself
