my research paper: why marijuana should be legalized.

[sue bee 10+ year member]

make sure you mention the propaganda effort against it. i.e. reefer madness, crime, etc

Research into why other countries i.e switzerland, amsterdam legalized it. The reason they legalized it i believe was to cut down on the crimes dirrectly related to the underground dealing of it.

is there significant evidence that its worked for that reason?

violent crimes caused by illegally trafficing and prisons being over flooded with everyday working class people who were caught with a punishable ammount of the substance and given longer sentences than other types of crime....

thank you very good point! will be used for sure!

You can write about how its not physically addictive, or argue it...since there are studies going both ways all over the internet and in books....you could argue that the smoke that is inhaled from majijuana is actually thicker than cigarettes smoke (the actual particles in the smoke)...so in a sence, you are inhaling the same amount....absorbing less of it....but on the down side...what your lungs do absorb is worse for you... BUT......then you can go into the "I only smoke out of a vaporizer, or eat it" argument. They can legalize it, then just outlaw pipes and devices that actually create "smoke" (even though they will still be available illegally) If you need info on a vaporizer, you can find them all over ebay...explains everything. ALSO...not as many people will smoke marijuana that smoke cigs....granted there will be more potheads than there are now...but there wont be as many people who smoke cigs....Marijuana is more controllable in the mind of the smoker...you dont NEED to smoke bud every time you get a little frusterated, or every time you get under a little stress. As far as health reasons...sheit, you could write a paper on that alone... It helps cure so many sleeping problems, helps cure stress MEDICALLY PROVEN (unlike cigarettes), used for depression.......
Dude, if you get "the big book of buds" and just flip through it (or just go to borders and look at it) there are so many buds in there that list which buds are used for different kinds of medical conditions. PM me if you need some more info or have any ?'s... im your guy

HAHAHAHHA YOU ARE THE MAN.. THE ONLY DUDE ON HERE WHO'S EVER MENTIONED THE BIG BOOK OF BUDS.. thats a **** good idea and im going out to buy that book right now!!! hahah i could use it for fun too!! thanks for all the info man im going to use your post as a refernece to my notes!!

It simply makes sense to legalize it. So many people smoke it, there's a huge economy for it, it is FAR less dangerous than alcohol, very little bad side effects, makes people happy, etc. I mean this drug is safer than the "legal" drugs. Millions have died from tobacco and alcohol but not one from weed. Where's the common sense in that?

another damn good point.. keep em coming guys!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Obviously sayin people who smoke are lazy...mostly true...depends on what your smokin... Someone like you may not know that some smokes actually can energize you... that is the effect of some...others make you sleepy. I used to smoke every day before i went and worked out because it helped me keep my concentration (haha, I like this thread...so much stereotyping)

didnt catch the irony of it eh? sarcasm > you.

i wrote a paper about legalizing weed..........not keeping it illegal.
