Cannabis, weed, pot, whatever you want to call it; it's everywhere.
To be caught in possession of, to grow, or to deal this drug carries a hefty sentence across the western world, yet tobacco and alcohol are freely consumed in public.
Cannabis has been ranked one of the least harmful drugs by medical magazines and doctors everywhere - it is much less addictive than tobacco and alcohol, and less harmful as well.
So should we legalize it?
Making marijuana legal?

No.Enough people are drug addicts already.If you legalize it,you'll wipe out half the world's population...

But it's less addictive than smoking, and less harmful...instead of smoking tobacco, people could smoke pot, it's better for them.

Actually, smoking any substance is harmful; you will get respiratory problems like COPD regardless of what you're smoking. I'm not sure about other risk factors such as cancer, however.
I read in the paper today that the head of an American Drug Regulatory Committee (something along those lines) said that marijuana was much safer compared to many other drugs physicians prescribe.
So maybe legalizing medical marijuana (comes in a paste form) is a possible alternative.
Re: Making marijuana legal?
yes, I made my point badly there - you're completely right.
Smoking anything along these lines is bad for you, but overall, if 25% of those who smoke tobacco right now started smoking marijuana if it was made legal, there are 25% less tobacco smokers - more harmful for those and the people around them.
Perhaps even those who take other drugs which are more harmful would consider switching to marijuana as a legal, therefore easier, alternative.
All theory - but should be taken into account.

Re: Making marijuana legal?
Think of the damage people cause by getting high off of weed and it is illegal, making weed legal would be a crazy idea. Yes it is harmful than a lot of drugs that are on the market now but the effects it has on people would cause too much damage. I see kids that are in elementary school and middle school getting high off of it. Little kids whose brains haven't developed as yet are smoking it. Keeping it illegal is the smart and safest choice right now. Just like crack, ecstasy and LSD, weed causes you to literally walk and move around without a brain in your own world. I say keep it illegal.

No,they're actually right. Smoking mass-produced cigarettes is far more dangerous than medical marijuana. But the main thing is,keeping something banned somehow makes everyone use it. I believe that it is like the alcohol banning law... If people want to use something,nothing will stop them from using it.
