Legalize it? (not very minor-friendly) - Page 2

Sigmar · 02-15-2002, 03:58 PM

From what I've seen and heard the only reason some people smoke hasch is because it's illegal,,so if it was legalised it would probably lose some of it's appeal. I dont think people should worry about hacsh, but the more dangerous ones (LSD,Speed,etc) should definitly be banned and removed from countries as those are much more life threatning. (I don't do drugs btw)

Campino - totally banning soft drugs doesn't help. Sure there are bad things about them, and I'm not promoting the use of them in any way, but people will always seek them out, legal or not. If you make them legal, or at least gedoogd (sorry, don't know a good English translation for this word, but most of you probably know it by now anyway) the bad effects on society can be monitored and controlled at least a small bit.

And i'm not sorry for disagreeing,i just do [img]smile.gif[/img]

But what are the bad sides?

Tose are some pretty precise figures. How exactly did they achieve that test-result?

You're right J'aran about monitoring and controlling is easier if you "gedoog" softdrugs.I am speaking about things that happened in
my neighbourhood,and with my friends.That's why i am so against it,
because it influenced my life directly.

In what way?
It can't be the tar, because you have the exact same doses in a joint (if not less) so what then?
I've heard the exact opposite from many people, see

I don't know about this one. It's like legalising hard drugs. I mean, the government will possibly be able to control the distribution more. But, it's like legalising wrecking your body. The government might also make profit, which might help.

There are advantages to legalising drugs overall, but I see the disadvantages of it to outweigh the advantages of it.

Anyway, about Marijuana. I don't really know anything about it, so I can't judge.

I'll tell you what i've seen in my neighbourhood.Near my house a lot of teens
get together to drink,tell stories,play loud music and to smoke,and
some of them smoke weed.The next day there are fags(cigarettes) and cigarette papers everywhere.It's a big mess.Sometimes on the staircase leading to my frontdoor as well.

Remember,i am speaking about things that actually happened in my life.
I've also lost a good friend of mine,who started with softdrugs, things went from bad to worse and i don't ever want that to happen again.So if someone wants to smoke hasj
be my guest,but you'll not be a friend of mine.

You might think i'm very harsh here,but now you know why.
Just too many bad experiences.
