Why Don't We Just Legalize?

This forum is for non aviation related topics, political debate, random thoughts, and everything else that just doesn't seem to fit in the normal forums. ALL FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Well, unfortunately the argument isn’t ridiculous. I have a few friends who are long term MJ users and I am here to tell you from personal experience that they do suffer from altered thinking patterns in the long term. Sorry to burst your bubble.

It doesn't matter what you do to stop people using the addiction of their choice, they will become addicted. Sex, drugs, alcohol, work, flying, internet - some have their adverse effects, some are 'harmless.'

Legalize it all - no profit motives for your local gang, no more killing for a fix, etc. etc.

The harm reduction is enormous.

Let those who wish to live their lives in a fog do so and let's get on with making real improvements here. The rest of us, who are not addictive personalities, will go on running their lives and the country and the others will, well...

Rudder Bug, bless your pointy little head, hemp is the plant from which you derive marijuana, rope, clothing, bird seed and some beer. The list is much longer. Its actually quite a useful plant - paper, oil, I can't think of any more. Here is another hint: GOOGLE (10,200,000 entries).
