It's as simple as this...
Drinking is a selfish act that helps no one, and as a matter of fact, hurts people.
ONLY if used irresponsibly, or if people who drink don't know their limits with alcohol. It could be argued that alcohol should be banned completely, and to a fine degree, it's a fair point, but why should those of us who drink responsibly, and know our limits when drinking, be forced to lose out? What about the people who drink alcohol, such as wine, because it is scientifically proven as healthy, when drank in moderation?
Weed is a selfish act that helps no one, and also as a matter of fact, hurts people. I havent seen one rebuttle from the side for legalization that supports something GOOD about drugs, and i have seen way too many facts that are against drugs to come even close to agreeing with legalization.
Ever heard of Multiple Schlerosis (sp?)? Weed is, over here (UK) in some cases, accepted as a treatment towards the pain. Granted, Doctors don't sit there and say "Go smoke weed to help, dude", but many are aware that their patients who suffer from MS, use it, and have no problem with it whatsoever as they acknowledge the painkilling properties within Cannabis. So are MS sufferers "selfish" for trying to relieve their pain?
Also, as previously stated in this thread, research into Cannabis and its side effects is somewhat little. Only VERY recently was it discovered that it had minor links to possible mental health issues. Research is still being put into it, so imagine what else could be revealed in the next few years? I'm not saying in anyway that it should be legalised at the moment, but it should be researched more so that the governments around the world can make the decision on the REAL scientific facts before completely ruling it out as illegal.
tell me how smart people are after a 12 pack. tell me how when they drink that 12 pack, it helps society. it doesnt. tell me how polishing off a sack of weed helps our community keeps our children out of jail, protects our country >military basher

Anyone who polishes off a sack of weed in one night or drinks a 12 pack on their own, is not a responsible user, it's that simple. It's common knowledge that yes, some people do things like it, but that by no means whatsoever covers all the alcohol and cannabis users in the country or world.
notice how the majority of people in this forum are against these drugs, and also the majority of people on this forum are intellegent with computers/computer maintenence (one of the highest growing/paid jobs in america)
Just because someone has a different opinion towards things doesn't make them unintelligent, because after all, it is a persons opinion, not a fact.
