Well I think it's bullshit that marijuana isn't legalized. The only reason marijuana is illegal is because the government can't figure out how to tax it. And marijuana doesn't harm you. It only slows down your brain process for a while and it's just bullshit.
In other words, I think it should be legalized even if it can't be taxed. Tough shit for the government.
I think it's great that it's not legalized. It also does cause a lot of harmful effects and they all have been proven. I've done some work on this field, so I've got my reasons why it should not be legalized.
Chemicals in Marijuana that produce euphoria are all related to the chemical delta-9-tetrahydroannabinol. Active chemicals in the drug are completely (90%) absorbed by the lungs. They travel in the blood to various body tissues that process them. (Brain, liver and kidneys.)
This affects the brain centers. It alters hearing, touch, taste, and smell, as well as the sense of time, the sense of space, and feelings of the body. It also produces changes in sleep patterns. It also lingers in the body’s fat for a month before being removed from the urine.
It has been proven that there are 400 types of harmful chemicals in marijuana. This causes euphoria, memory loss, disoriented behavior, fatigue, paranoia, psychosis, insomnia, hyperactivity, decreased appetite, uncontrollable laughter, hallucinations, and a shortened attention span.
Usually those who take Marijuana feel to get rid of unpleasant feelings. This usually starts the psychological addiction and the habitual abuse of marijuana.
Marijuana also changes the heart’s action, causing rapid and sometimes irregular heartbeats. Marijuana may also impair the body’s immune response. It reduces hormone levels and sperm count in young males.
An addictive ingredient in marijuana, Hashish, creates addiction. Marijuana damages the lungs, and causes bronchitis, emphysema, and in some cases cancer. Marijuana also contains pesticides, poisonous molds, and herbicides. It also contains PCP (animal tranquilizer phencyclidine hydrochloride), which is used by marijuana sellers to trick buyers into thinking that its potency is high.
Marijuana also impairs driving ability. With a very tiny amount of marijuana, a person’s reaction time and judgement are impaired. This effect lasts for a long time. It also causes amotivational syndrome. (Loss of ambition and drive).
I got sick of hearing that one whne I was duzin schul research about reasons to keep that shit prohibited.
You say the only reason it's illegal is because the governent doesn't know how to tax it. Well, let me give you a completely different reality: the only reason cigars ain't illegal is that it'd cause MASSIVE traffic.
As the days go by, the number of extra disgusting chemicals they toss into illegal drugs, including pot, skyrockets$
Drugs don't exist to make people feel lazy and eat, they exist to hook people and make money, regardless of how many lives are ruined$
So Raveraze...$ What you are saying is the government doesn't care about the lives of its citizens, just fair ways to tax a life-destroying substance?$

The keyword is "monitored" here, if you monitor your uses with marijuana it probably isn't gonna *crag* you for life, pretty much like how alcohol isn't all that bad when used under supervision.
I say legalize it, just start teaching the kids to watch there uses over it rather than the "SAY NO TO DRUGS LOL".
Mainly for the same reasons that Jr. Troopa listed, and for its links to setting off mental diseases (such as schizophrenia) in its users. :\
On top of that, I've seen a lot of potheads. In my family, and in the local schools. They're... well... for the most part, idiots.
Of course, those who only smoke it every once and a while are usually okay. But I don't consider them potheads. That's where moderation comes in. It's not good for you, but if you're gonna go smoke it, you might as well be smart about it and not smoke the damn stuff every day.
Actually the United Nations is thinking about legalizing drugs across the world, to stop drug wars. Its also supposedly gonna help devolving countries stunted by illegal drug trade grow.

By the way, do you do marijuana?
Smoking is worse.
And it is legalized.
See the thing is, it can't hurt you if you don't use it.
