Why weed should be legalized

Okay, instead of putting up a big wall of text that few people would really want to read, I'm going to make a very, very simple list.

1. It could actually be taxed, giving a LOT more revenue to various governments.

2. Drug enforcement agents could focus their time, money, and resources to getting rid of the drugs like coke, heroin, etc.

3. Weed isn't addictive, so we don't see hookers on the street or thugs robbing banks for weed money anyway.

4. Jailing people costs money. Fewer people in jail=less money spent by the gov't, increasing money for education, arts, etc.

I'd be happy to debate any of this with anyone.

Why do you want to legalize weed but not drugs like Heroin? I say we legalize every drug. If drugs are legal, they will cost less and people will not have to rob people(as much) to get money for their next high. Also, drug use could be considered a disease instead of a crime, and instead of putting crack addicts into jail, we can try to cure them like we do with alcoholics.

I want weed legalized for one reason: So pot heads have nothing to talk about ever again. They're so annoying!

Not really, because anyone can grow it. Cannabis is a "weed" after all >_>

2. Drug enforcement agents could focus their time, money, and resources to getting rid of the drugs like coke, heroin, etc.

Yes.

3. Weed isn't addictive, so we don't see hookers on the street or thugs robbing banks for weed money anyway.

Not true. It is mentally addictive, like chocolate or fast-food.

4. Jailing people costs money. Fewer people in jail=less money spent by the gov't, increasing money for education, arts, etc.

Indeed.

weed shudn't be legalized, jus like alcohol. yes it's true alcohol is worse 4 u, but the only reason alcohol isn't illegal is cuz it's already "in" society, as in ppl r pretty well used 2 it and all that, thas y prohabition was such a failure. if governments had the choice they wudn't want alcohol at all, so y wud they want to start something like that again with weed? same goes 4 cigareetes and other tobacco products. also, it would cost a lot just 2 get things started, a large portion of good farmland wud be used 2 grow weed so ppl can get high rather than us growing food(something we NEED). and if u think we cud just buy it off other countries like columbia and mexico and wut not, we'd jus be supporting drug dealers.

I am against it. It affects humans in a negative way, and doesn't benefit the society at all. Then why should we allow it?

Weed or "Marijuanua" and any other type of drug should not be legal for many reasons. One of the main reasons is that it's like alcohol and it affects the body and the way you think. You're in a different state of mind. it's used as prescription but people abuse that saying even though they don't realize that only a small percentage of people (less then 2%) are treated to using it. Drugs are a huge problem in many parts of North America but there's a lot of problems In Los Angelas and British Columbia. Some drugs like exctacy and heroin can kill you. Have you seen some of the drugs that people use? Weed also slowly deteriates your body but it's soo slow that it'll be a long term effect when you begin to feel any side effects. ALso it's an addiction. Once you start doing it, then you get hooked on it. It's like smoking which also is bad. So why bring weed to the public when you know it's detrimental towards our health?
