CTF Official Drugs, Smoking & Alcohol Debate

[shyguy420]

Should we legalize marijuana?

well should we??? and why should or shouldent we

[audrey_ga_cowgirl]

No. Whatever good it would do for medical purposes, it would do more harm. Most would become addicted to it.

Marijuana produces fibers which are ideal for ropes, cloth, paper, and dozens of other products. The fiber is unusually strong, soft, absorbent and cheap to produce.

If we grew marijuana solely for paper production, we could completely eliminate cutting forests for paper.

Marijuana can produce several different kinds of fuel

The best analysis done to date by any Federal official shows that "legalization" of the now illegal drugs would result in a net $37 Billion annual savings. This estimate is considered conservative.

That matters not, I fear. If we legalized it, we would do far worse to our people and population than we would save the money.

Like that hasn't happen already with cigarettes. Deaths from Smoking: 440,000 annual deaths each year are smoking-associated (CDC) WOW


In Britain, official government statistics listed five deaths from cannabis in the period 1993-1995 but on closer examination these proved to have been deaths due to inhalation of vomit that could not be directly attributed to cannabis Even more WOW

We shouldn't legalise smoking it.

[Tim]

i'm w/ shyguy on this one

why not?

cigs r much more dangerous and purely from an economists standpoint its the right decision.

I have to say no, we have plenty of other resourses to do what it can do. It ruins peoples lives, I'm related to people who it has ruined their lives. It's not fun to be around them....Plus using it for medical purposes can cause them to become addicted to it...It's not healthy it's not safe....My school is a major maryjuana school, it's sad you just want to smack people and make them realize how stupid they look and how uncool it is to do that....No it shouldn't be legalized...It's dumb stupid and pointless....
