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.

Because it isn't just the supporters that are hurt - it's other people too. There is a large difference between the two substances - culturally. Alcohol has become an accepted cultural phenomenon, whilst in the general public cannabis has not. Alcohol is (with a few exceptions) of no medical benefit in the drink form, I agree. But just because alcohol is bad, doesn't mean that we should also allow another bad substance to be legal.

Well,that's not exactly true.Here in Nederlands,people are quite used to marijuana,and i didn't see much complains.I'm certain that people in your country would accept marijuana if you give 'em a little time.It's an optional thing.You can smoke,but you don't have to.Marijuana can be consumed only in special places, and at your home,so that other people wouldn't be endangered by it.

It's a choice.As i said it should be alowed to adults ONLY.A grown man\woman should know what's good or bad for himself\herself.

I don't think its a matter of waiting for them to accept it, but rather making an informed choice for whats best for the majority of people, who in my country have elected for those representatives to make those choices. I'm sure that people in my country would learn to love guns if we legalise firearms, but then I'm also sure that gun crime would soar.

Now, legalising it doesn't automatically mean that people won't break the law with it. Taking for example a smoking ban in restaurants - still flaunted. Just because you try and limit the use by creating certain environments doesn't mean that they will be adhered to. Now you could argue that by not having those contained environments, there is no control anyway. However, whilst it is illegal there is also a lower percentage of the population smoking.

Also I completely disagree with your arguement that legalising locations rules out danger for other people. The effects arn't instantly stopped the moment you leave your house or joint cafe! There is nothing to stop someone under your proposed system smoking up, leaving the designated area, deciding whilst under the influence of a toxic substance that they're okay to drive, and haplessly plowing into a kid on their way home because their reactions are impaired.
