Is marijuana safer than other drugs & should it be legalized?

Question

I believe it is safer & should be legalized. Marijuana I believe is safest of all the drugs out there. Think about it, would you rather be high than cracked out or tweaking on meth or some sh*t like that?

Answer 1

I know you'd like to hit the bong legally, but that's not gonna happen. Hippies have been trying to legalize it for years, and it's stupid. Of course it shouldn't be legalized. If you want to smoke weed, keep doing it illegally pal.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter if it's safer or not. The point is that you should be free to decide what to put in your body, and be responsible for it.

Booze is legal and if you drink too much you can turn dangerous to others, you should pay for any damage done. And if you drink way too much you could die, too bad for you but hey! it was your life, not mine. Have a nice trip.

Same rules should be applied to any other thing you can put in your body.

Why is grounded glass legal? Can you imagine the damage that that can do to unaware teens swallowing it?

Answer 3

i think marijuana shudnt even be called a drug, i find it not even as addicting as a cigarrette.

Answer 4

It's actually safer than cigarettes and alcohol.  It's ridiculous that it is illegal.  It should be legalized and taxed just like cigarettes and alcohol.

Answer 5

I live in Canada, where right now as we speak there is no law regarding mere possession of marijuana as the liberals failed to  make provisions for medical marijuana.

I think yes as the ONLY yes TEXAS COP ONLY thing bad about it is the fact that you're inhaling smoke.

If it is ingested it is actually proven to be the only thing found in existance yet that regenerates dead brain tissue.

It may lower your inhibitions, but the general smoker can smoke ten joints, and still get behind the wheel and drive safely.

it has been proven that people drive slower, and more careful when on pot, as everything around you seems to be going faster.

How many people do you know can drink a 26, and still drive straight, and properly?

As for texas cop you guys down there need to get over your political brainwashing, and propaganda, and really look into the facts.

All the information given above has been given to me by every doctor I have ever asked about it.

Just look into the gov't scientific reports on it.

Answer 6

Pot screws with you!  You smoke, you must know what it does to your brain.  You are under the influence, HIGH,  and can't make smart decisions!  It doesn't matter that it's safer then meth.  Both are illegal.

Pot should be legal for medical reasons.  Unfortunately, becasue of the abuse of it, that will never happen.  Dude, think about it.  Do you want your kids smokin' and ending up like Cheech and Chong!

Answer 7

No and Absolutely No!\

As to 'being safer', you have no idea what you're talking about.

I've never seen someone smoking a cigarette get stoned from it and get into a car and kill others on the road.

Answer 8

Pfff, marijuana isn't even a drug.. it's an herb. Like rosemary or oregano.

Well, not exactly.. but pretty much!

It's muuuch safer than any other drug out there. Marijuana hardly impairs you at all. It's definitely safer than alcohol.

How many car accidents are related to alcohol use? How many are related to marijuana use?

And it makes more sense than smoking cigarettes.. what do cigarettes do for you? Nothing.. they're pointless. Weed at least makes people happy and calm. It actually has plenty of benefits.

The only unsafe thing is that the most common use of the herb is by smoking it.. which is obviously dangerous to the lungs, though the THC in marijuana has been proven to reduce the growth of lung cancer.. so it basically balances out.

Why doesn't the government figure it out.. they could be making bank by legalizing it and taxing it.

God put it there for a reason.

Answer 9

the LD 50 for cannabis is approximately 100 lbs . in other words you would have to consume 100 lbs at once and 50% of the test subjects would die .

Answer 10

it is definatly safer. government just cant get as much money out of it as ciggs and and alchol. it is only considered a drug bc it is mind-altering basically. also it is believed to be a gate way drug. it is used for medical purposes and one day when people are not money hungry and oblivious it may be legalized.

Answer 11

yes and yes!!

Answer 12

no breathing in smoke is bad for you, cigarettes should be illegal also

Answer 13

Yes and yes! The people who say no need to find out why it was made illegal to start with!! That bit of trivia will amaze them I'm sure! It Had nothing to do with its effects!!

Answer 14

h**l ya, it should be legal. Like anything else, moderation is the key. Most stoners (aside from having bongs and small amounts of pot) aren't even criminals. Alcohol is far more dangerous, addictive and corrosive to your body over time. People who smoke weed dont pick fights at bars, dont beat their wives and generally leave others alone.

Why aren't cigarettes and fast foods illegal too? They're just as harmful. Obesity? Heart disease?

Bite me...A friend with weed, is a friend indeed!
