I do not agree with making any more drugs legal. We have enough addiction and secondary diseases without adding something else that is readily avalible in a pretty package. Smoking and alcohol are already here. In fact, I recently wrote an article defending the smoker from unfair taxes. I feel that it is the most hypocritical thing for the government to say something is bad for you, but please go buy it so we can tax the hell out of you.
Anyway, back on subject. yes, the tax will add to revenue. But, at what cost to humanity? What will be next- taxing crack or prostitution? Where do we draw the line with taxing vices? Is it fair to create addiction for monetary purposes? There are just too many questions and bad results.
I say no to making pot legal.
Thank you for opening up this topic for constructive debate.

how can you compare smoking grass to crack? It will be like buying a 30 rack at the packie. It has a lot more upside then down i believe because i think its more of a crime to deny sick people the health care they need to live then to have some one to light a joint.

he wasnt talking about legalizing all drugs, just marijuana, secondly there are no addictive substances found in marijuana, legalization will only benefit this country

If a person who is defending keeping marijuana illegal because they are comparing it to crack and prostitution, it makes it obvious then that they are clearly not well informed on the effects of smoking marijuana. Honestly Jo Oliver, you sound like an idiot in comparing the obscenely different drugs because one, it is proven that there are no addictive substances in marijuana, two, it is proven that marijuana has never killed anyone by smoking too much of it and three, if smoking marijuana is giving cancer patients and other individuals with severe sicknesses relief, then why shouldn’t they be allowed to smoke it. I mean do you have cancer Jo Oliver? Do you know what those specific individuals are going through? Maybe it would be best for you to actually do a little research and try it out before making retarded comments.

p.s. who in their right mind would legalize crack or prostitution? I mean people who smoke crack hurt themselves and hurt our economy in the mass amounts of health care money that they are gonna need to spend to keep themselves from dying and also i dont know if you know this but prostitution can lead to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. It’s so funny to me how dumb you sound. haha open your eyes….marijuana makes people happy! the end
