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.

Here in Canada we too have a no smoking in public places law. Personnaly I think it's great, and most smokers I talk to don't mind it because they don't have to always put cigarettes out because of people with allergies and such. Also, just a little fun fact, it's about ten years in jail or 250,000 dollers if you are caught smoking in a non smoking area.

You must be kidding!! 10 years in jail?? 250000$??? For just smoking a cig in a non smoking area???? holy crap.....i donīt think the punishment is that big here...hmm but i surely wonīt try it though... blink.gif

Although that is maximum. But it is increadibly rare that you are charged with this crime, people here know not to smoke in non-smoking areas and beacause usually if someone sees you smoking, you are told to put it out or leave, they don't immediatly call the cops. Also, some places I believe have smaller punishments.
