Marijuana: Legalize it? (Why Marijuana is Illegal)

[Chrono]

for all I know you made that site

Doesn't matter who made the site. Many parts about the site itself can easily make it unbelievable.

1) Never even heard of the source website, ever. To me it looks like people desperately looking up for every single little 'good' reason to abuse a drug, and probably attracts people who say 'you never tried it' as a response to any bad parts about it.
2) It appears to be in a 'submissions' section, meaning any person can just toss up an article on there. Seeing the nature of the article and the website, it's obvious it would get approved whether or not it's true.
3) It's an article.
4) It's in an archive, meaning there could either be a newer version, or it could've been proven wrong.

I see what you're saying, but "happy" isn't the right word. It can be used as a painkiller, and a way to relax so you have less stress.

It doesn't matter how stressed you feel when you're impairing yourself and can't fix what's causing the stress in the first place.
As a painkiller:

People taking it for medical purposes is fine.

Oh yeah, let's smoke weed.

Too bad that site is just like D.A.R.E. where the government "facts" are shown.

And you think that bubbly picture you showed us is completely true?
You're just an uneducated child who only believes what your redneck parents tell you.

Above the influence is a biased website. They fabricate "facts" in order to run their campaign to exploit the people's ignorance for a profit. If anything the CDC or the government would be a good place to go for objective facts.

Once we have those, THEN we can make an informed decision.

But I'm educated.

Right, the government would spread a bunch of lies about something they could make a fortune off of if it was 'oh so harmless'.

he's about year younger than you

Because child was the only important word in that line right?

NO

Whoa my redneck parents? My good sir, I come from a family of people who don't do drugs. My parents aren't white trash, nor am I.

I don't believe entirely what it says, but as Thar said, its a biased.

[Katamari007]

Because child was the only important word in that line right?

Yeah, I also decided to ignore the rest of it because I didn't post it.

Everything you said is-without a doubt-wrong.

Fool proof logic.

Thing is, they couldn't because its easy to grow, this means they can't tax it.

So you're blaming my parents, and insulting them when I've never consulted them about what drugs do? Alright, nice way to be a prick.

You don't seem to know what you are talking about.

[Chrono]

I don't believe entirely what it says, but as Thar said, its a biased.

Of course it's 'biased'. Their goal is to show you the negative sides of it, which is what you should really think about before you use something like that.

This isn't like a news source describing an event.

This is facts about a type of substance.

Fool proof logic.

Obviously.

Thing is, they couldn't because its easy to grow, this means they can't tax it.

"we can't tax this make it illegal!"

Just like all these vegetable crops people grow right?

[Thar]

Age is virtually irrelevant. Intelligence acounts for 90% of this debate.

Glad we can agree on that but your sources are questionable. I'd suggest finding an independent, scientific, non-monetary driven source for info on this subject. The drug and anti-drug industries are very profitable and I'm sure more than one person is willing to exaggerate the facts in order to further the cause.

Personally, if I were the government, I would hinder the flow of drugs from Mexico. Not only is it profitable for the private companies that provide the equipment for the government forces, but it's profitable for the government as they can use this as leverage against the Mexican government.

But... that's just me...
