NOTE:
Before you hit that report button,you should know that this thread is aproved by stargelman (Administrator) himself.

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.

Yes...why not.....erhmm....I did try in Turkey some years ago and I liked it so....

Hmmm,as i said i belive they're serving that kind of coffee in Turkey.It's really strong,and it has some black stuff at the bottom of the cup.That kind of coffee is good for me too smile.gif

I disagree. Responsibility and irresponsibility is a factor - if it wasn't we wouldn't have legal ages for gambling, sexual activity, purchase of alcohol and cigerettes, collection of medication and marriage.

Actualy in my country such limitations don't exist (at least they didn't exist while i was still there,i don't know how is there now).But you said it yourself:Such things are allowed only when a person gets to a certain age.So why not allow marijuana at age 18?I think we all agree that it isn't any worse that alcohol.

QUOTE(Foster @ Apr 29 2006, 04:04 PM)
What the judgement is made on is responsibility and irresponsibility being a factor in a risk/benefit analysis - the benefits of having forks outweigh the risks of someone trying to poke someone with them. The benefits of cannabis (if there are any - the only one I can see is that some people want to use it to relax) are outweighed by the risks.
*


Is that so?
And who determines how big risk\benefit does a certain thing have?Society?Government?I will tell you what society\governmet thinks about certain substances:

Alcohol - Risks greatly overweight the benefits.I will only mention some risks such as liver cancer,lack of self-control,some people are quite agressive when they're drunk.While the only benefits i can think of are used in medicine (to clean the wounds or such).100% legal.

Cigarettes - Now let's see:They are bad for your health,you become adictive,you actualy PAY to poison yourself,and you're endangering others.I mean WTF?That defyes every posible logic!But people WANT to smoke cigarettes,they are aware it's bad for health and adictive,but they still want to do it.Nobody's forcing them to do it,they chose it themself,even though they know the risks. 100% legal,no benefits.I quit smoking,but even today when i'm drinking coffe,i say:Damn i could use a cig right now.But it's passing over time.

McDonald's - I feel i'lll get flamed for this.The fact is that McDonald's is unhealthy food.McDonald's food can make you fat,has no healthy things for your body,and what most people don't know,it must be eaten right away.Try buying a burger,and keep it for about a week(you can puit it ib your fridge,it won't make a differnce).I sugest you don't eat it though.It may contain diseases, at least people who worked at McDonald'd told me.The left-overs are thrown in containers and locked,so that poor people won't eat it and get a disease. 100% legal,no real benefits (It's better for you to eat that brokoly)

Coca-Cola - Ahhhh!Let's try a test shall we?Get a glass of coce,and put a chicken leg in it.Let 24 hours pass.See the results.The same thing happens in your stomach.That's why you have that thing on your bottle,writen in small letters:You can drink [a certain amount,i can't remember now] a day.Otherwise you can get a diareya(sp?). 100% legal,no benefits to society (better drink some nice clear water)

NOTE:As i said over-use of such things can have bad effects.Drinking a glass of wine a day,can improve your heartwork (confirmed by doctors).Casualy eating at Mac,won't make you fat.Casualy smoking marijuana won't make you an adict,and won't harm you in any way.

Marijuana won't benefit society in any case,that's for sure.
But if an adult WANT'S to smoke marijuana,and he\she knows what are the risks\benefits (No benefits),why forbid him\her to buy it.Wait,did't i already said this in one of my previus posts.Nevermind.

It's not all about ''benefiting'' society.If it was so,we would be living in the world like......You kow that movie with Silvester Stalone?Where everything is forbiden,even to eat bacon (holesterol).That's how would our world look like.Boring and Cold.

Casual(moderate) use of marijuana = Fun,and not dangerous cool.gif
