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 personally am against any kind of drug use whatsoever... but it pretty much comes down to this... You have to draw a line somewhere. Some people think the line is too much others think its not nearly enough. Take speed limits for example. Most of us can easily drive safely at 75 mph as we can at 65 or 55, however, when you look at everyone as a whole statistically a line is drawn at a certain speed for a certain type of road because thats where the statistics say the fewest accidents will occur. Pretty much the same with drugs IMO. Can some people moderately use marijuana safely and occasionally... probably. However, most studies show people abuse it fantastically given the choice and end up destroying their own lives as well as those around them. Society is better off without a doubt that it remain illegal.

just my two cents..
