Do you think marijuana should be legal everywhere?
I personaly have no problem with that.Marijuana is completly legal in Nederlands,so why shouldn't be legal in every country in the world?I completly agree with Nederland policy about it:

1.NO PERSON UNDER 18 CAN BUY MARIJUANA
2.MARIJUANA CAN BE CONSUMED ONLY IN SPECIAL PLACES (in Nederland they are called ''koffe shops'')
3.YOU CAN ALSO SMOKE MARIJUANA IN YOUR HOME,BUT NOT OUTSIDE HOME (not even on your balcony)
4.YOU ARE ALOWED TO HAVE ONLY 3 MARIJUANA PLANTS IN YOUR HOUSE.BUT YOU CAN BUY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT IN THE LOCAL KOFFIE SHOP.

There.At least this is what i know.

I don't support any other drugs,such as cocain,heroin,crack and that kind'a stuff.That's just to dangerus.Marihuana is like cigaretes or even better example alcohol:You know it's not good for your health,you know that after smoking it you're not gonna be so normal,and you know that you can become an adict (just like cigaretes and alcohol).

So why would you ban an adult to buy what he\she wants,IF he\she wants it?
Give me your opinion about this.

FINAL NOTE:I understand that this can fire some strong emotions in you if you don't support this,but try to be calm.Instead of flaming,post why you're not supporting marijuana global legalisation.

For those who don't want to expres their opinion publicly,i made this a POLL,so you can give an anonymus vote.But please,don't be shy and share your opinion with us.This is not a flame thread,i'm expecting this to be a civil debate.

In July 2007, British medical journal The Lancet published a study that indicates that cannabis users have, on average, a 41% greater risk of developing psychosis than non-users. The risk was most pronounced in cases with an existing risk of psychotic disorder, and was said to grow up to 200% for the most-frequent users.

Concerning that, I think as with numerous other things, marijuana will strengthen behavioral patterns already in someone, perhaps dormant, or perhaps simply suppressed. So I think even the people doing the research would vouch it's not the best argument against Marijuana.

Still, I'm against legalization. It's more of a feeling than an actual well-founded opinion though. I generally don't like the type of people who use drugs, specially not the sort of people who think it's 'cool'. I just can't stand them. I'm fine with people frowning on us because we legalized gay marriage, but I do not wish to be frowned upon because some of our softdrugs are legal. Drugs are completely unneccesary, in my opinion, and if we had to vote to abolish them altogether, I would vote in favour. Although, some drugs, like marihuana, can also be used for medical treatment. That, of course, I'm not against.

Fortunately, in many cases we can let our feelings guide us Personally, I've never been very fond of alcohol, smoking and such things, for any number of reason and greatly on a matter of principal. But while I might discuss it with others, I've always believed to each their own.

As to users, that's a complicated issue.

I've been around blowers for the majority of my life, older and younger cousins doing it, friends doing it, and I've seen some very different cases.
One friend who's been doing it for as long as I know him, with absolutely no addiction or bad things coming from it. As far as I know that is as he doesn't really live next door
One family member who started it just to try it, and to whom it fast became a habit and beyond that even into a minor (if there is such a thing) addiction. Fortunately, after quite a bit of work he's been able to stop doing it.
One very good friend living nearby who's been on and off of the stuff for years now, for whom it's been completely innocent at times, and an addiction at other times. Adding to that the fact that he's struggling with pains and such, it will be a struggle if he'd ever want to completely stop doing it.
Another family member who used to do it somewhat frequently, then stopped overnight and hasn't touched it since.

And quite a few other cases I could mention, suffice to say though, all of those might have started as an experiment, but the reason they continued it always went beyond "trying to be cool" or something like that

As with so many other things, I think the important factor in whether or not things go bad, lies completely with the user. So I guess the point I'm trying to make is perhaps those people who say they use it to be cool, aren't being entirely sincere, and should you find their true reasons, it might be a surprise

Again, hard drugs and the likes I consider a totally different matter.
