Alcohol was even illegal during Prohibition...and no, I'm not that damn old... Anyhow, legalizing pot would add some quality control to the product to protect consumers and, oh yea, add a hefty tax revenue as well. If you think the tax on cigarettes is outrageous, could you even imagine the tax on pot? But folks would pay it without much complaining and the narcs would have to spend their quality time on something more worth the while for society.

I think if pot was legalized, just as many people would buy it off the street, but new people would get into it as well, just from a doctor.

Although this appears quite logical, studies show this to not be the case.

Wasn't really aware of that. If marijuana becomes legal, you would need to get it from a doctor for medical purposes. I do not think doctors would give out so many prescriptions to all the drug addicts, unless they were really good liars . For the people that couldn't get it from a doctor, which should be a good bit, they'd have to buy it illegally.

What kind of studies are you talking about? links

Even if they did legalize marijuana, if you could buy it at your local drug store i mean, i can assure you, that strand wouldnt be nearly as strong as the stuff people grow on the streets. Thats the main problem with any kind of testing going on with THC. About a week or so ago, people were petitioning to the supreme court to make it easier to obtain marijuana for medicinal uses, as many states have it legalized for that purpose, but are hampered because of a federal restriction. Anyway, testing is not as accurate as it could be because the one federal crop or marijuana is not nearly as potent as the stuff you can buy on the streets.

theres lots of very good reasons why some drugs are illegal, that is why they are illegal!

haha, i find that amusing. i hope i wont be the next to die from a peanut

first of all, i didn't say you were wrong. I'm just saying that it's highly unlikely that the majority of child molesters were high when they did what they did.

Second, all I'm saying is that you really should base your facts on the Wall Street Journal because American media is messed up

Last, all I have to say to that statement is "WTF?" you don't have to molest people to give an opinon

this thread is gone off track

He has no clue what hes talking about, so why bother arguing. I want to see him find a report of a chlid molestation where the preditor was on drugs other then alcohol.
