Drugs. Legal Or Illegal?, what do you think? Options

[Dantrag]

What do you guys think about drugs? Do you think they should remain illegal or become legalized? I agree that drugs can ruin your life, but so can alcohol, and that's legal. And honsetly, I think that alcohol is more harmful than marijuana. Alcohol makes a lot of people angry and violent when they are drunk, but people on marijuana are just relaxed and happy. I just want to know where the government draws the line for this stuff.

I think marijuana shoul;d be legalized, for the reason above, and for the fact that it would give the government a lot more money, and open up new jobs at the 'marijuana farm'. I think the other drugs should stay illegal though - they mess you up pretty bad, from what I hear.

(This is based on USA laws...don't know too much about other countries' policies on narcotics.)

PS - I do not smoke weed, I am speaking from seeing other people high and drunk.

I just don't like it when the government says what I can and can't do when it comes to my own personal habits, when they don't affect anyone else.

I mean, the government saying I can't steal makes sense, because that hurts someone else unfairly. But when they say that I can't smoke what I want to, they are going too far. Me smoking marijuana (which I don't) doesn't afffect anyone else, so why does the government need to get involved for any reason?

That's almost the same thing as making sunbathing illegal because it can cause skin cancer.

I like your point Dantrag......it´s very harsh here in sweden what "big brother" says to you...one time the authorities even told us how many slices of bread we should eat per day.....
