I got one good reason why not... Look at what happens with legal products that cause you bodily harm -- cigarettes. Trial lawyers and various other advocates decided that since these 'evil' tobacco companies make a ton of money off of a 'defective product' - they sued for (and won) a multi-billion dollar lawsuit. Now, since they've set the precedent, all types of substances that cause you bodily harm are now being targeted. They tried to sue gun manufacturers for making an 'unsafe product' -- apparently, the damn things kill people when you use them. Go figure. I guess the fact that the gun lobby is so strong and that the manufacturers that were being sued were also supplying the military with weapons, those cases got nixed. Well, now apparently there's a movement afoot to go after the beef industry, because since we fat Americans eat way too much red meat it's giving us heart disease and cancer. I guess since the cattle barons have manipulated the herds in such a way that we get decently marbled beef...well, sue them too. So, in effect...legalizing a product just adds more complexity to the issue. If some major corporations get involved in the growth/manufacturing/distribution of some highly potent drugs...you know consumer
for marijuana, I think it's just like alcohol in the sense that if you use it wisely, there is no harm but if you abuse it, then it can lead to serious problems. there are a lot of things legal now that slowly kill people, it's learning about self control I suppose. Beer/liver, Cigarettes/cancer, even innocent things like candy can have bad effects on the human body. Could you imagine if things like cocaine or heroin were legalized, how damaging they could be to someone that becomes addicted to them, if they have easy access to them? Certain drugs cause you to become addicted, making your body need them, much like an alcoholic needs beer. Having lived around alcoholics all my life, it made me wish these people didn't have access to it, I could only imagine how bad it would be if you replaced beer with cocaine, or heroin. I don't see any positive effect with the legalization of drugs, maybe making people richer, and killing people quicker, that's about all. what's prosecuting these crimes doing? For the most part, putting nonviolent felons in jail. In addition, due to the conspiracy laws related to drug trafficking, people unconnected to dealing can be imprisoned if they're associated with the dealer - say, roommates, girlfriends, etc. - and in some way, even unintentionally, aid h
