What are some reasons marijuana should be legal?
I am doing a debate for health, can you give me some help?
I would just like to add, I do not smoke weed. Throwing that out there so I don’t get the people saying “Rah rah, weeds horrible!!! Your an awful person for smoking it” I DO NOT DO DRUGS this was an assignment.
Thanks so much!!! =)
Because, frankly, the war on drugs isn’t working. It’s just costing the government money each year for keeping the marijuana users in prisons all over the United States. Besides the fact that it’s costing the government money it also has positive attributes such as its medical value or its value as a recreational drug, which is exactly what alcohol is. It’s also no more dangerous than cigarettes are. But those dangers would be non existant if you ate the weed or if you put it in a vaporiser. The only risk to marijuana users is the relatively low risk of arrest which would be vanquished if it was legalized.
Making weed legal would also reduce the cash flow going into criminal gangs from american citizens. Regardless of what most people believe, the gateway drug theory is a bunch of nonsensical bullshit. The only reason why marijuana is called a ‘gateway drug’ is soley because of its illegal status. Making it legal would take away the need for a teenager to communicate with the illegal drug market and therefore stay away from the harder drugs.
Prohibition has failed to control the use and domestic production of marijuana. The government has tried to use criminal penalties to prevent marijuana use for over 75 years and yet: marijuana is now used by over 25 million people annually, cannabis is currently the largest cash crop in the United States, and marijuana is grown all over the planet. Claims that marijuana prohibition is a successful policy are ludicrous and unsupported by the facts, and the idea that marijuana will soon be eliminated from America and the rest of the world is a ridiculous fantasy.
What are some reasons why smoking should be legal?
In school we are having debates on why smoking should be legal verses why it should be illegal. I’m on the legal side and the only thing we can think of is that smoking is a billion-dollar business that supplies many people with jobs, any other ideas?
It is legal, and always will be. the government gets too much money in tobacco taxes to make it illegal to smoke.
For example, in the UK a pack of cigarettes is approximately $11. More than 50% of that goes to the government in taxes.
Why should smoking be legal?
i need 3 reasons why smoking should be legal and i also need the evidence for it..
plzzzz HELP??
The first and largest reason that smoking should be legal is because your body belongs to you. Its not illegal to be fat or stupid, so who has the right to tell you what to do with your body? That would be like outlawing tattoos or piercings. Or enforcing everyone to have tattoos or piercings.
Smoking should be legal because when responsibily consumed, it only effects the user. As a smoker, I dont like not being able to smoke in restaraunts, but I realize that my filthy habit shouldnt be forced on others. So I go outside. Problem solved.
My last supporting reason for smoking legality is because of the tax generated. With our economy as low as it is, we should be using our common sense as best we can. Why outlaw a tax source thats harmful to the consumer only?
Those are my 3 reasons.
Why is smoking legal? It should be a Class A drug!?
I know the answer to this is most likely down to two things – Money from tax which funds the NHS and because it is so widespread and accepted all over the globe.
However, smoking should be a class A drug!
Smoking has a direct influence in the number or deaths caused by cancers due to the carcinogens in cigarette,which source [1] also proves. Deaths in males cased by lung cancer increased from 10 per 100,000 to 185 or so per 180,000 within 60 years, which is in pattern with the cigarette consumption per person per year [Consumption]. This consumption was at 4000 cigarettes per person per year. However source [2] shows us that by using the statistics given, the average smoker smokes about a pack per day. As a pack is often 20 cigarettes that means (20 * 365) = 7300 cigarettes are smoked by the average smoker every year. This is 1.75 times more than the peak of the graph in source [1] at about 4200 per year.
There is a 20 year lag in the graph between the increase in smokers and the increase in deaths caused by lung cancer.
So, the government of not just the UK, but every god damned nation has statistics every where that prove the effects of smoking not only effect those who smoke but those around them too.
The government probably makes a lot of money from cigarette tax which pays for part of the NHS. They claim they need the money for the NHS but the only reason they need it is to treat the very smokers whose tax came from the >drugs< that are killing them. So if nobody smoked we wouldn`t need so much money in the system anyway.
So why isn`t the governement doing something about it. If a 16 year old with little resources apart from basic statistics, some intelligence and common sense can come to this resolution how on earth can a government not work it out.
Tobacco (and most definately alcohol too) would be class A drugs if they were introduced now, so why can it not be removed completely. It has an immediate short term effect which is critical to the body. It has a long term effect which is critical to the body. It is an addictive substance. It causes harm to those other than those taking it. What idiot of a stupid government cannot work it out and do something about it!
What can be done to make it illegal? Quality of life, health, wealth and general; well being will be improved dramatically if smoking was illegal, however why isn`t the government making it illegal?
What is everyones views and opinions on this and what do you think can be done?

Fair comments. But why should people have the right to harm themselves whils;t harming others around them almost as badly?
Good comments.
What makes it sound it sound like hitler? That was a dictatorship that rose to power by the factors of fear, threats and loss of hope in a corrupt country. This is a question with no threats, no fear that looks for hope in othere peoples eyes. You need to learn your history…
Keep your views coming people!
Also Hitler had a lack of opposition after his change of tactics in Mein Kamf and censorship once he had become chancellor….
… (soz, didn`t finish sentence) … and I am asking people to give their opinions to this =p lol
I’m amazed that anyone here is disagreeing with you! Of course it should be illegal! And so should alcohol. And so should anything one ingests that causes them physical harm which has definitely been scientifically and medically proven to cause physical harm.
And with cigarettes, the cigarette smoke affects the health of those around them, not just the smoker.
Why isn’t it illegal? There’s some sort of corruption in the government, in the judicial system, in the police departments, corruption everywhere. And probably the cigarette companies are all paying people in government to not make it illegal.
What can be done about it? I don’t know. Wish I had an answer to that one.
People just have to get more educated and realize the harm it is doing to their bodies and then quit smoking.
And people have to face and deal with and process through their emotions and traumas instead of stuffing it all by smoking a cigarette that’s full of toxic poisons.
Reasons why marijuana should NOT be legal?
I smoke marijuana not to for any medical reason i smoke just because i enjoy it. I think marijuana should be legal and see no legitimate reason why it should not be. I challenge anyone to give me a reason why it should stay illegal?
The only reason I can come up with is that the general public is stupid enough and we can’t afford letting them become even more so by smoking weed.
