What are your views on the legalisation marijuana?

Personally, I'm against it. If you allow people to openly smoke drugs, you will only create an increased rate of health issues surrounding the drug and other things such as children being introduced to drugs early on.

This does amuse me though:
Any pro-drug person
 
"Legalising marijuana will decrease drug crime"

Well done, in the same way legalising everything will cut crimes down to nothing...

Same. It won't work. They say there'll be more understanding about it (probably, I haven't actually read the article, I'm just guessing), but it won't work.

It's the concept the USA uses to do with guns. You suggest illegalising guns. They say that if guns are illegal (or controlled, or whatever the right term is) then the criminals will have them and the people will be unable to defend themselves.

Yet they seem completely oblvious to their absurdly large gun crime statistics. There was that school shooting thing a while ago. If guns were controlled then he probably wouldn't have been able to do it.

Anyway, yeah, legallising it will do no good at all.

On the surface it's more to do with national pride. Guns are in the constitution as a throwback from the revolution. The guns actually create a huge amount of government money in taxes, so they use it as a bad means to an end.

Amusingly, many constitutional ideals have been gotten rid of, but point that out to an American...

As unfunny as it is, I was slightly impressed he did all that with two glocks. Until I was told he had lots of ammo. <_<

Leagalising Maruijana will decrease drug crime

If marujana is legal its no longer a crime thus crime levels go down!

That like saying if you lock your self in a dark room away from the sun then it isn't shining. Drug related crime would be the same if not worse. Anyway Maruijana cause mental health problems
