BF2S Forums If drugs were legal

Drinking alcohol makes you violent, unlike cannabis which chills you out. So a person who is drunk will more likely to start a fight than a stoner.

I am a cannabis smoker and have been for the past 5 years, and I am clever believe it or not!

I think they should legalise cannabis but they should put a good amount of tax on it. I would love to go to a shop and ask for a pack of 20 B&H spliffs, instead of rolling them myself.

There are lots of positives from legalising cannabis. It should reduce the amount of dealers, it would give the government more money to spend, and they would make sure that the cannabis has no added ingredients like soap bar has etc. Obviously there would be negatives like if people buy cannabis they might want to try other drugs etc, but in my opinion the positives outway the negatives

Slippery slope?  Actually, cigarettes and alcohol are the true gateway drugs. 
I am, again, a test case. I have tried a lot of other drugs, but none to my liking. I like pot and that's it. I started w/ cigarettes, then alcohol, then pot, etc. So maybe you should think before you type. Are you christian? Are you southern? Are you a Republican? Are you a Nazi? You sound it. Rid our society of the scum? These are real people with productive and happy lives. You sir need an education and some cooth!

Do you see me condoning any? There's no nutritional or any type of value in drinking or smoking. I like how you admit to illegal activities though. I find it odd, however that you "like" it. Isn't that what all addicts say about all drugs? They say cocaine and heroin are better than sex. There's nothing like slowed reaction times with that or alcohol or both and then getting behind the wheel of a car, though either. Yet, you should think before you make poor decisions.
How offensive is that next part, though? You are indeed very biased. I am a Catholic in the Great Lakes region, unaffiliated with any specific political party and definately not a Nazi. I am, however, a law abiding citizen. Why is it that drugs are always referred to as "scourges" instead of praised upon by all society? The "real" people are "happy" though, because they're stoned, and not because they have conscious control. It's a chemical causing euphoria and that's it. You need an education, possibly a support group, and whatever "cooth" is.

EDIT: I believe you were meaning to call me "uncouth" or something to that degree. Hmmm.....

Drinking is fine. Kill your cells. There is a reason though why drunken driving IS ILLEGAL though. It is hazardous to others. Impaired judgement won't and slowed reflexes aren't a winning combination on a highway doing 60. No, I do not drink or smoke. Plenty of healthy ways to feel good that are easier and free.

So what would be your problem with outlawing DUIMarijuana?

1) Isn't DUI with weed already a crime

2) because when you are drunk you think you can drive just fine

3) when you're stoned you constantly worry that you might do something wrong and that you're going to mess it up - this leads to drivers trying harder and driving more slowly

Sure, it may be true that you can't strictly overdose from puffing the magic dragon, but they do call Mary Jane a "gateway drug." For those of you somehow unfamiliar with the term, you're leading them down a slippery slope into hard core drug use where you can kill yourself.
