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.

I see nothing wrong with its use. But, I think that it should be used in moderation. Around here, we have a huge drug problem. The drop out rate at my highschool is rediculous. And everyone I've known to drop out, has done so to smoke weed. Plus, there is also the risk of cancer. I know someone who smokes marijuana, and has lung cancer, but will not stop. 

I think it can have very dangerous effects on people who use it too much.

Oh,i'm sorry to hear that .I also agree it must be used in moderation.There are many people out there,who are using it in moderate dosages,and not every day (only by weekend).Your post also makes a bad argument against marijuana,which is completly true,but it's the same thing with alcohol.I have a freind in y homeland who's father is an alcoholic and his lever is completly screwed up,but he still refuses to stop drinking.Very sad

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.

Oh?And leaving a bar all drunk doesn't?How many accisdents are happening out there because of drunken drivers?
And how will you limit a man to smoke IN the jount caffe?Easy.Just hit 'em in the pocket.A large fine (not prison fine,but money fine) and they won't do it.I mean you can try it once,but when the police officer comes to you and showes you tha amount of money you have to pay,trust me,you won't do it again.This works for Dutches very well.

Very few people today have self control. If they find being drunk fun, then they get drunk, being drunk makes it so you dont think correctly, they go and drive and hit someone.

With ANY drug people are going to hurt themselves and others if its legal. Even if in small amounts its good for you, people are just gonna use a lot of it.

That is not completly true.There are people that have self control when they're drunk.Me,for instance.The morning after i'm drunk i know exactly what happened (and that's when i'm REALLY drunk)the other night.I know that i can't walk properly,so i stay away from bridges,or anything you can fall in.When i'm drunk,i'm not driving,i always call a taxi.It's beter to pay some rediculus money now,then to die for nothing i say.I can always go pick up my car in the morning.As for your argument about people using it too much,i will take Nederland for example.There are a LOT of people that know that it's legal,but they're still not using it.Just as with alcohol,it's a metter of choice.How much are you gonna use it:It's again a metter of choice.But even if somebody smokes too much pot he\she won't be able to just MOVE,let alone to drive a car.

juss a question hypno, where are we talking about legilising marijuana. for some people drugs even help. i know a person who needs to smoke one once of week to be able to fall alseep.

Ah yes,weed gives that slepy feeling.I don't know how people thing they can move when they're that ''heavy''Exept when you're mixing it with energy drinks.Whoo,that's something completly else And to answer your question i was talking about global legalization,in non-medical purposes.Sorry i didn't point that out i'll edit my starting post.
EDIT:Actualy i did point it out allready.''Do you think marijuana should be legal everywhere?'' is right in my starting post

I respect that...I must say, the reason I think Marihuana should be illega, is that it is a strongly narcotic drug...alchohol, is another kind of drug...and it requires LARGE quantities over long time to cause addicyieveness...drugs however, couse addictieveness, VERY fast, and most drugs goes out over the main nerval systems...after a while they can break it down, and basically stop the eniter body.

Drugs are about the viles most dangerous things one can inject into them...sake for actual poison that is...well, that is my reasons.

No,that's not true.Marijuana is not a strong narcotic it drops in light narcotic together with alcohol.Durgs DON'T couse adictevnes very fast as you say,if you're using them in correct dosages.The thing that you're gonna be an adict to the rest of your life is a stereotip of over-commercialased anti-drug campaign.Hell,i know peope that are smoking marijuana once a week,and they're not adicts by a long shot.If they're adicts,then i'm an alcoholic,because i get drunk once a week.About using large quantities:Well a noob in alcohol will get drunk after 2 or posibly one beer,while a normal man need about 5-6.That's not a really big quantity considering you can drink that in a short time.As marijuana goes,a smaller dosage it's needed,but the effect is completly same.While you think that large quantityes of alcohol are needed to become an adict,hell,large quantityes of marijuana are needed to become an adict.And that's it.
Now who told you that marijuana can stop your body from working?You must be talking about ecstasy(spelling?).Ectasy can really mess you up the first time you try it out.About the fact they're going through your nerv systyem:Hey,they're going right in your brain.If alcohol is stuck in your stomach you won't feel a thing,but when it comes to your brain......then you'll feel it.I don't think you can die from marijuana itself.
