Probably. That's a stupid reason to be against it. Please expand. Getting a high is bad, how?

---

Well its dangerous. If people go around stoned all the time, they wont be able to think,and bad stuff could result....

Oh, I am DEEPLY srry for my reason being *stupid*

I hate to break it to you, but there are a good many people who walk around stoned all the time already. Being high doesn't mean you're brain-dead. You can still THINK, just maybe on to the fullest extent. And I'd hardly consider being high dangerous.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean everybody in the world is going to be constantly high 24/7. The ones that will be are probably that way already.

You need to think of the legalization of weed like the legalization of alcohol. People don't walk around drunk ALL THE TIME, just because alcohol is legal, do they?

Yes, people will abuse it and do stupid things. But that's nothing new.

Whatever you say...

Not only that, but marijuana is basically harmless. You can't overdose on THC. Not only that, but the smoke is much less harsh than that of tobacco.

Tobacco and alcohol are SO much worse, but those're both legal, so why not legalise a relatively harmless cash cow such as this?

I don't know how to take this... are you more of a libatarian. Saying that not having it legalised is a form of oppression? I am guessing this just on the little know about you, but then ya go on to say tax the hell outta it... that seems a littlle oppressive:p

In essence, if it was legalized - I would want tax, health impact fees, and illeagal oppresion agianst the users :)

Heh, I'm all over the place. But still, I think it should be under similar laws to tobacco. Albeit much less strict because it doesn't actually kill people.
