"Unlike alcohol, which is just a happy fun drug for the masses, huh?"
Well if you had cared to go back and read some of my posts on this issue you would see that I don't condone alcohol either. It's a shame that it is legal, because that too ruins plenty of lives.
"How have you seen this first hand? Please share your experience with us. It has been my experience that most people use pot the same way that they use alcohol: A way to wind down and let loose every now and then"
First off if you want to wind down then go to SLEEP or relax.
Second I've told my personal story about drugs before and I guess I will tell it again just for you. I knew 3 friends while in high school who ruined there lives because of drugs. In the end 1 died in a car accident because he had several drugs in his system at the time (pot being one of them) when his car wrapped around a power pole at 75mph. The other two now have permanent brain damage from the drugs they put in their body. Memory loss, the whole 9 yards. There mind is mush now. All three started by smoking first a cigarette at age 14. I joined them on that day, but didn't like the taste. They then moved on to drinking here and there, and I joined them there as well, but don't like beer that much and about all I can drink is an occasional margarita. Then came Pot. This is where I drew the line and they went one way and I went another. They got hooked and started skipping school and cutting off all ties to the people they knew before doing pot. Less than a year later they were on to LSD and other rave drugs. Then they went to the big leagues by shooting Herion. By the time I tried to step in and be a friend and help them all three said go to hell and that they were going to do what they wanted.
So in a nut shell when I hear people saying drugs aren't bad and that it shouldn't be a criminal act, an image of my 3 friends and especially the one that died springs to my mind and the blood boils, because I should have stepped in earlier and helped them or hell had them turned in to the police or told their parents to get them help but I didn't. I'm not turning the other way ever again on this issue. Drugs are dangerous period.
I'm not spitting out DARE stuff either and I'm tired of people putting down this type of program, because you may know a few flower child people who do the occasional hit and don't go out and kill and robb people but drugs is a dirty business and getting mixed up in it is a bad idea. I've seen and read plenty crime reports and cases that my father who has been a Policeman for 30 years. Cases from home invasions, Bank Robberies, gas station robberies. Most of them are drug related or drug deals gone bad. I've seen the photos of a man who had his private parts shot off because he couldn't pay for the drugs he took. I've seen the darkside of this nasty evil thing and to say MAKE IT LEGAL makes me want to puke. All that says is we as a society are giving in and saying fine go ahead and do what you want. Sorry but no thanks.
I hope I've made myself clear on this matter once and for all.

If it was legal, we wouldn't have this problem. You don't see people getting their stuff shot off for cigarettes or beer, not because tobacco or alcohol is nay better than marijuana, but because the former are legal.

You might think the problem will just suddenly vanish but your dead wrong on that. There will always be those who will not do it the LEGAL way, and like I said would you really want to make Crack and Heroin legal?
Sorry but you and others around here want to sugar coat drugs as being great, fun and innocent when it's anything but. It has a very dark and evil pattern which many of you simply want to ignore for some dumb reason. It doesn't matter if it's legal or not. It's the drugs itself which causes the original problem. Then you have the people who want to sell this junk and make a buck and these people are not going to go away once it's made legal.

Illegal drugs are bad. I believe that. They don't do anything good for you. Neither do cigarettes, alcohol, or caffeine. Do you think these should be illegal too?

I've already said Alcohol and cigarettes are not good and I wish they could be gotten rid of as well. Go back and read my posts. I don't condone the use of either one. Caffine well other than little kids getting too much in their system and becoming Gremlins it cannot be even compared to Pot, Crack, Heroin, Cigarettes or alcohol.

Once again - what gives the government the right to dictate to the people whether or not they can hurt themselves?

Because the rest of us have to pay taxes going towards cleaning up the mess. ie. strain on hospital system etc.

We also have to pay taxes that go towards people who have children when they can't afford to raise them. Should we make having kids illegal?

Also - prisons are crammed with inmates who have only done some pot: You don't think THAT is a tax burden?

I don't think that simple pot-users should go to jail.

Hit them in the hip pocket. Govenment makes money, and drug users get punished by a fine.

Wouldn't making it legal and taxing it heavily serve the same purpose?
