    Had a discussion about this in my biology class today.There are credited reaons for each side of the argument, e.g marijuana can actually help with some health problems, but can also cause some.Anyways, my personal view is that it should be legalised, as long as our government(England) can control its trade very well, to help take the profits away from those dirty,dirty organised criminals. Also, they should also weaken the type they use ( IF it is legalised) , so it doesnt mess with people too much.Alcohol and tobbaco are both legal, and do cause numbers of deaths and health problems,so why shouldnt cannabis/marijuana/skunk/ganja whatever we want to call it not be?

    What Stalin says is true. How will kids be cool when weed is legal? Cocaine?

    I support the legalization of cannabis, but sometimes I reconsider it because vocal stoners annoy the shit out of me.

    And so you want them to keep complaining? And to answer the first question, 'shrooms.

    No, I'd prefer to give them weed when they stop being such idiots by claiming that weed solves everything. Then they'll deserve it. At least they'll make up more entertaining stories if they're all on mushrooms instead.

    If you tried acid you are retarded. If you don't like to get high on Marijuana, but have never tried it, I feel bad for you. If you are against smoking pot, but enjoy drinking, you are the dumbest motherfucker I know. But to each his own.

    No, I just don't trust pills and the such. If you want a hallucinogen, there are shrooms, or even salvia if you're ready for that kind of trip.

    And? My dads aunt has been smoking cigarrettes for 60 years now and she is still fine. DOes that mean cigarettes are good for you? no. Same goes for marijuana. Nothing good can come out of weed.

    Yeah, I feel so good right now. Your point has just been unproven. Also nothing bad can come out of it either. Bad things come out of tobacco.

    And not being good for you is by no means an argument for continued criminalization.

    Agreed... Alcohol, hamburgers, hot dogs, red meat, candy, any fast food, it's all bad for you, but you don't see anyone clamoring to outlaw the food that has turned our nation into overweight lazy messes with chronic heart disease

    They give you such a good deal. A burger for a dollar? Come on! Sadly if they illegalized mcdonalds I don't think there would be a black market for it like there is with weed.
