Should Marijuana Be Legalized? Options

[Cosmin Lupu]

One thing that I know is that NOTHING is bad, AS LONG as you are able to be the one in control. Alcohol is not bad - I am a wine drinker for instance and my mom and dad raised me in such a way that I can appreciate a fine drink but never over do it. A glass of red wine and a fine book, or a glass with a fine dinner, is nothing short of pure bliss - and guess what, it doesn't turn you into a raging alcoholic that wakes up in a gutter in the morning.

It is very tough for the most of us to resist urges that end up with abuse, but as long as you are conscious and master over your self, nothing can bring you down. As I said, tough to live up to these words, but frankly, if you manage to do it, you will live a happy and fulfilling life. The outcome of things is ENTIRELY up to you.

Well said I"ve always admired that about many cultures/countries raise children from a young age to appropriately appreciate things like wine. In the states this is not common. It happens, just not common. Here, young people are largely forbidden to touch booze until 21. Of course they get in to it early, and since there is no parental oversight, often times it goes bad and usually ends up causing issues.

Balance is truly the key as you mentioned Just a hard thing to achieve. I do agree with you that it's well worth striving for

When it comes to drinking it is ok that young people get introduced to alcohol, but I think we have a culture many places in Europe especially in Denmark where you almost can not get together without drinking.
I was a part of this as a teenager and university student, that was just how people would socialize.

Now I haven't been drinking alcohol for more than 5 years, and it was really hard for some of my friends to accept until I told them we couldn't hang out anymore unless they'd accept it.

If you stop smoking, people will congratulate you.
If you stop drinking, people will ask you if you are sick. It irritates me.



Smoking weed? No it has so many bad side effects for a lot of people so I'm not for legalization if we have a good police force to stop the criminal trades.

(now if we can just find some friggin water).

This is what needs to happen.California has to build a desalination plant ,Now every state that uses water out of the colorado river (that side of the divide)has to help in the cost . Because once Cali is using that water , every state will benefit and Lake Mead will fill back up and there will never be another water problem

Desalinization actually seems like a good idea. I'm not sure if it's a long term solution due to the corrosive effects of Salt Water. Better conservation of water would help.(especially farming)

many Arab nations have been doing it for years, the salt is taken out , so nothing gets corroded after the process

Honestly Northern California is pretty self sufficient with water. I defiantly think the South should consider it. It would probably cost everyone more for their water, but it would encourage water conservation.

It's a bit weird sometimes - for the others I mean - but I couldn't care less for what they think Indeed, I don't drink before training or so, or sometimes if it's too late in the evening, I'd rather have a tea instead, because I want to get a good rest during the night.

Kids should be raised by EXAMPLE not by theory They are like little monkeys - they do what they see around them not what they are told. That much I have figured out so far, but I am pretty darn scared of the day I will have to raise my own

You're a thoughtful and methodical guy. You'll do fine. Talk to them a lot. Engage them. They like that.

this is probably the best rule of parenting
You teach your kids not to drink and you drink , guess what , your kids will drink
and this is true with just about everything, and before some get bent out of shape, it's child rearing , nothing 100 percent , people still have to make there own decisions (good or bad), but if we practice what we preach , it goes a long way with credibility for our kids

You also get to 'learn' parenting in real time.
You don't need to know it all the day they're born.

Sadly you can't stop the Marijuana trade as our failed "War on Drugs" has showed us. So that's sorta hopeless. As far as "side effects", there are side effects to Alcohol and yet we managed to make that legal But to each his own.

why stop with Marijuana
as most libertarians want all drugs legalized

plus we are breaking Treaty's with neighboring countries and their war on drugs,puts them in a bind , doesn't it
like it or not , no President like Barack (who swore to uphold the constitution and our Laws)has done more picking and choosing of which laws "HE" would and would not uphold
now if the law changes thats fine,but until then, do your job

CRSN: That was my point exactly "Why stop with Marijuanna.." making things like marijuanna illegal is as wrong headed and ineffective as Alcohol Prohibition was waaay back when. We managed to get over that but even though hard booze is more dangerous/toxic on the body than street heroin, we keep selling booze without a second thought. It's far beyond time we started looking at the entire thing as a health issue, not a criminal issue. IMHO

I agree. In fact I'd go even further and legalize all drugs, and combat them with rehab. All illegalizing drugs does is fund terrorism, create a huge burden of our prison system, create police records on people preventing them from getting jobs that would force them to quit. The problem is that too much money is made, and burocracies allocated money; for them to be legal. Thats just my opinion though.
