I dont think society should promote a harmful/negative substance. There is already too much of this and I would hate to see it further promoted. What's harmful about it? How is it negative? Why shouldn't society promote something that was taken away from us by the big Government?

I'm sure most people have already seen this, but if you haven't then it's probably worth watching Dan's video on this:

Regardless if it is illegal or not, I will smoke it, and I will continue to smoke it until I don't want to any more.
The mere fact that it is illegal only means that I need to do it more sneakily.
Illegal =/= bad

I have a feeling that legalizing marijuana would run all of the pot dealers out of business.. Of course, that might inspire them to start dealing harder drugs, but at least marijuana is cheap and clean, lol

I dont think society should promote a harmful/negative substance. There is already too much of this and I would hate to see it further promoted. What's harmful about it? How is it negative? Why shouldn't society promote something that was taken away from us by the big Government? I have seen harmful effects of people smoking marijuana, even it isnt the substance itself, it can lead to many other drugs; somewhat like smoking and become linked. While I'm not saying this is always the result, I am saying the fact that this happens should discourage us form taking the risk on something that only offers superficial value. Marijuana is negative, from a very simplistic answer, because it has been taught that it is negative. There is no undoing what has been taught and we shouldn't promote something we have taught as a bad thing. As for the 'big government', I don't see our government as 'the man' 'putting us down', because we are responsible for what government we have. We choose who leads us, and we agree to them leading [through elections]. While it is true we cant always pick the people who we pick from, it is true that we are responsible for our leaders all basically getting power through money. I have never seen a large effort to stop this. There is a simple box on taxes asking if you would like to donate to political campaigns, only $1 I believe, that if everyone employed we would have to have candidates be rich to run. But people are too greedy to give this small amount, and thereby allow our government to be run by who it is run by. I don't believe the government does anything particularly bad in terms of taking things away. Politicians are all about not upsetting people, so they wouldnt take something away unless the majority wanted it. So what is so bad about the'big government taking things away from us' when we could stop it, but the majority chooses not to?

See what I did there?

Drinking SHOULD be illegal.
I'd think that driving has been easier to regulate than drugs will ever be.
Sex is healthy and necessary to continue human life.
But then again, I'm just a stupid kid.

A lot more people die in car crashes than a lot of other things. Perhaps we should outlaw driving?
