Self explanatory title, what do you all think about using drugs?</p> Think weed should be legal? Do you think making it legal would be a stepping stone for pills or coke to become legal?</p> Any funny stories?</p>
Weed should be legal. If it's legal to kill your brain cells, liver with alcohol, then legalize weed, which is actually less harmful overall. You ask anyone who has been through drug rehab for drugs harder than weed, they will all tell you that alcohol is the gateway drug for *everyone*, not just the people who smoke weed. There are people who have done cocaine that have never done weed. They try to tag weed with a *gateway drug* label because they are havig a hard time convincing the public and the government that it should remain illegal. California is very lenient on weed offenses, and you will not geta felony on your record for simple possession. There is enough support right now for weed legalization that it could work, and cause no additional harm to society. Legalizing weed, and other drugs for that matter, also takes away criminal profit, violence, and tax evasion. The money made from weed sales goes to legitimate businesses, creates a new sales tax for government revenue, and takes away money from organized crime.</p> </p> </p>
Here is one that no one ever brings up. Compare drunk groups to stoned groups. Parties of stoned people tend to be well behaved, not violent, and don't get nearly as loud as a bunch of drunk people. If you were ever an usher or security at a sporting event or concert, you know that your hands are full when the crowd is completely drunk. If they are all stoned, they are no problem whatsoever. Advantage = weed.</p> </p>
Yea but weed does more damage to the body and brain then alcohol. Proven fact. You go from weed to cocaine. From alcohol you go nowhere, you'll just stay drunk.</p> Say no to weed or any other drugs, they were made to destroy us. (by govt of course)</p>
I'm not for adding any new legal drugs and would like to see people take alcohol consumption more seriously. Of course, that may be because I work with the homeless. Want a funny story? A few weeks ago, I called EMS for a lady who came into our dayshelter and passed out drunk in the ladies bathroom. Her boyfriend, who is also homeless,told me later that they nearly lost her in the ambulance. He hopes it has scared her enough to get her to seek recovery. Want another funny story? On a regular basis, I have to try and deal with guys that have gotten so drunk that they arelying and sleepingin their urine and feces coverd clothing. I'm not trying to equate homelessness with drug and alcohol use because there is a segment of the population who have other reasons for becoming homeless, but it is a huge problem. Personally, I choose not to use any drug that my doctor hasn't prescribed for me and I don't drink alcohol. I don't find that I missing anything. Not having to schedule time for 12 step meetings leaves me a lot more time for watching football.</p>
Weak souls will always exist no matter how much protection the government attempts to blanket us in.</p> I work at the Beer Store (the only place to buy beer in Ontario) and I'm sure I see a lot of the same stuff you do DD.</p> For instance I can name the first five or six orders I will get in a day, of the 400+ customers I see in a day, half are 'regulars'.</p> I've got a guy who will tell me everyday how he can't afford the basics of life, yet he never goes without his beer.</p> </p> They try to make go to rehab I say, no, no, no!</p>

Don't you think it might cost you more out of your wallet if your favourite drug was to be legalized? I could be wrong.
I dont see a lot of difference between drinking alcohol and smoking weed, so I agree with RotR on that. But, i think they both should be illegal.
