    I've always wondered why marijuana is illegal and alcohol is legal. From my personal experiences, Alcohol is MUCH worse. Drunk people are complete idiots. Loud, obnoxious, and completely illogical. High people are just chill.my brother had an interesting theory tho. he said it's bc the government can't tax weed bc it's not sold in stores.

    it is pretty stupid that marijuana is illegal. i can see the idea behind not being able to tax it but seriously can anyone make a legit argument saying that weed is as dangerous as alcohol? it's so stupid that it's illegal because honestly so many people do it and it's just a thing they do with their friends. they're not sharing needles, poppin pills or anything of that nature. they're just sharing a blunt. it should be legal and it's retarded that it isn't. cops don't even care that much about it either. unless you're a convicted drug addict they really don't care. we also know that A LOT of players in the nba smoke trees.

    It's only because it's a drug that they can't make money off of. I am against using drugs so you won't see me smoking a joint but I don't think it should be illegal.

    i agree man. and it's actually impossible to die from smoking weed, unless it's from an accident. you can die from alcohol poisoning. you can die from other drugs.

    well, i'm saying like in one sitting you can't die. you'd pass out before. but you can die from overdosing on alcohol, pills or any of that other stuff.

    Doesn't it kill brain cells though? Or was that just alcohol? I can't remember.

    If anything Alchohol should be illegal. My dad is a police officer and he says every time he pulls over a drunk, They want to fight and get rowdy. But when he pulls somebody over who has been smoking weed there usually very calm.The thing with weed is, You smoke it for awhile then that feeling of high gets less and less exciting. After awhile you might want to explore your horizens and try Heroin, Crack, Cocaine, ECT.

    Weed causes mental health issues after prolonged use. Depression and other things. Alchol While has a more immediate effects it isn't something that people will want to do all day. If weed was legal then people would want to smoke it all the time like cigerettes.

You should be able to use it when you are more responsible. 16 year old kids are still going to do it though.

It messes with your brain ... makes you paranoid and depressed, people get sooo addicted to it they turn to stealing when they cant afford it. It is way more addictive than cigerettes, and way worse for you.So all you out there who wants it legal..... STOP SMOKIN THAT SH*T

    Problem is, people will smoke and drink anyway, so it's pointless to lift restrictions.

HAHAHAHAHAHA "it's way more addictive then cigerettes", WHAT A LIE! It's not addictive at all! the reason cigs or addictive is bc they contain nicotine. weed doesn't have nicotine in it. [​IMG]
