Re: Drugs

Ok drugs are illegal because the government doesnt know of a way to make money off of it.

MY VEIW IS: when you young your crazy to do drugs, but when your old (70- 80) your crazy not to do them.

Re: Drugs

I think drugs are worse, seeing as I can drink night after night, but I would never do drugs night after night. I don't really know how to put it into words, but drugs seem more extreme to me than alcohol.

You're right. Alcohol is far better. After all, if it were worse for you than drugs, it wouldn't be legal, right?

After all, only under 100,000 people die every year from alcohol poisoning, and another 40,000 die from drunk driving. Never mind that weed has yet to kill a single person for any reason in the history of mankind. Pay no attention to the ~10,000 deaths attributed yearly to all other illegal drugs combined, less than a tenth of what alcohol kills. Ignore the fact that alcohol causes serious and irreparable damage to your liver, stomach, and brain, whereas weed causes no permanent damage whatsoever. In fact, used occasionally and carefully, very few drugs cause any permanent damage. Alcohol is one of the only drugs to cause permanent damage.

But hey, you're right - why would it be legal if it was bad for you?

It's not like the government lets you smoke tobacco legally or anything, since that doesn't kill something like 400,000 people a year, either.

Re: Drugs

If you live around the Pittsburgh area you would know of this story…

The driver was under the influence of drugs at the time, as she tried to jump a 60-foot hill and make it to the other side in her SUV, while she had 4 other passengers in the car. Three lived, the girl in the passenger seat (she was 15 years old), the girl behind the passenger (14), and the girl in the middle in the backseat (16) lived also. These 3 lived, the other two lost there lives that night, the driver (17) and Karisa Marie Samuels (16) was in the back-seat as her friend tried to jump this hill. Karisa was cool, I had just met her the Wednesday before at youth group.
So as you ask why are drugs illegal, think of all the parents that lost there kids in the many accidents that have happened, think of the boyfriends/girlfriends that have lost someone very very important in there life in just one instant, think of the grandparents, the brothers and sisters, but most importantly think of the people that have lost there lives because someone else made a wrong choice, or because they were under the influence. Once you think about all of that, can you honestly say they are not hurting anyone else but themselves? If you can, I really don’t know what pretend world you are living in…

Re: Drugs

Pro does't mean choice. Demonstrate clear thought.

ALCOHOL?!?!?!?!

Re: Drugs

If people get into cars while drunk, what makes you think they won't get into cars when they're high? We make rules to protect people from themselves.

That's all I have to say about that. Most people who do drugs never get into any kind of trouble, and there's really no point in arguing. Nothing I can say to people who support/do illegal drugs are going to change their minds. They're going to have to experience something that makes them stop. Maybe they get arrested, or their friend ODs.

There's a difference. Alcohol is a depressant, which lowers your reaction time, making it harder to drive. Marijuana is a hallucinogenic. If you're caught driving drunk, you're going to end up with a hefty fine and maybe jail. If you're caught driving high, most officers tend to overlook it.

Re: Drugs

Hee gyus i od drugz kuz der fun lawl.

I'm absolutely against drugs/alcohol (not for the same reasons though).

For drugs, I just don't need them. I can find thousands of ways to have fun without them, and it makes me sad when someone I know starts using them, because in my opinion and due to the way I was raised, I find it discusting and absolutely anti-natural. By "anti-natural", I mean that the way the human body was "created" (over time, I'm not a creationist), it is not in the natural order of things that one should have to absorb a substance which modifies his/her motor and psycological abilities for any reason whatsoever. The human body was "desinged" in a way and I think it's the least of things to respect the thousands of years of evolution behind us.

Another reason is that I could not possibly have fun while not being in total control of my body. Also, I'm not the most responsible person ever, and if I started taking drugs I'd be a total waste.

As for alcohol, I just think it tastes like ****. Windshield-washer to be more precise.

My OpiNiOn!

EDIT: The slight difference between alcohol and drugs is that you don't actually need to abust of the first one in order to feel a drastic change of behavior. Although, that does not justify the legality of any of those.

P.S. I despise the human race.

Re: Drugs

The drug policy in America is ridiculous as it is. While I do believe most illegal drugs should stay illegal, I am for the legalization of marijuana. I just think there is a general ignorance when it comes to drugs in America as the most widely abused drugs are pharmaceuticals.

Re: Drugs

Every person has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Part of life is the choice to throw it away if you want to. No one else has the right to say what someone can and cannot do to their body. This is why I am for the legalization of drugs. I just think that if you abuse drugs you should be unable to get health insurance. That way you are not a drain on the system. Also, drug overdoses should be denied service in the emergency rooms, that way irresponsible people do not take up hospital space that other people may need. Plus, the war on drugs is a waste of tax money. Why not legalize and tax drugs to boost revenue and then use that revenue to educate kids why not to use drugs.
