Why Would Any Support the War on Drugs and Marajuanna Prohibiton?
Question by Person Person: Why would any support the war on drugs and marajuanna prohibiton?
Marajuanna is a naturally grown substance, its been around for thousands of years and there is never been a single death from it. Advil, caffeine, alochol, tobbacco, etc are legal and have caused many deaths. Laws are supposed to protect people, and You are not harming anyone by smoking weed. Prohibition has caused much harm though. More than half the people in prision are in there for drugs, prisions have becomed so crowded that rapists and murderers are being realsed to put weed smokers in jail. It is also very expensive to keep people in jail. So why are police looking for harmless weed smokers when there are dangerous murderers and rapists. Because weed is illegal, people use it to make money on the black market, because of this, kids have easy acces to weed and other drugs, drugs are much easier to get than cigarettes. The war on drugs and the DEA has also done nothing but harm, look at all the Mexicans that are dead because of it. If weed were llegal, the overcrowded prision problems would be solved, Mexican drug cartels would go down, it would be harder for kids to have acces to, hard drugs useage would go down, the government could put a huge tax on it, there would be many new jobs.
So why are we wasting billions of dollars trying to arrest people who have done nothing wrong, but they haved smoked the same plant that the president has smoked?

I don’t.
It shouldn’t be illegal, it saves money on war on drugs, and we can focus on harder drugs.
On top of that, the Mexican Drug Cartels’ biggest drug is pot. It would cripple them if it is legal in the US
I don’t support it. It is unethical:
If it is to protect our personal health, then tobacco, and alcohol, and excessive calorie consumption should also be illegal.
If it is to promote Public Safety, then alcohol should be illegal, as well as texting while driving, talking while driving, tuning a radio while driving, and eating while driving.
As long as the law is UNEQUAL in its RATIONALE, it is also UNETHICAL.
Unequal justice is not justice.
Is there a question hiding under your soapbox?
Arsenic is natural, why not use it. “Intoxication” is just that, a toxic substance (usually alcohol and/or drugs) is affecting the neural connections in the brain. Inhibition and cognitive functioning are decreased, leading to behavior not normally engaged in, or exaggerated in comparison to normal behavior. Long-term/excessive use of intoxicants leads to permanent damage of the brain, and the liver, the organ responsible for removing toxic substances.
Are you aware that psychoactive drugs (e.g., marijuana, opiates, cocaine, amphetamine-types, alcohol) achieve their effects through altering brain function?
Are you aware that the neurons in the human brain are not “fully wired” until the early 20s (http://www.actforyouth.net/documents/may02factsheetadolbraindev.pdf)?
Are you aware that the artificial manipulation (through toxic substances) of a developing brain may have permanent effects on neural connections? (see Chaos Theory for review of major effects associated with minor variations)
How ironic would it be if one’s intelligence (that facilitates your rationalization of drug use) disintegrates noticeably as a result of drug use? And, wouldn’t it be even more ironic, if one were at some point not sufficiently intelligent to determine that you are not as intelligent as they once were?
Are you aware that conviction for possession of illegal drugs can disqualify you to receive Federal Student Aid (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fafsaws90bw.pdf)?
Are you aware that positive drug tests can contribute to grounds for removal of one’s children?
Are you aware of the following:
Cannabis
(World Health Organization)
Terminology
Cannabis is a generic term used to denote the several psychoactive preparations of the plant Cannabis sativa. The major psychoactive constituent in cannabis is ?-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). …
Acute health effects of cannabis use
The acute effects of cannabis use has been recognized for many years, and recent studies have confirmed and extended earlier findings. These may be summarized as follows:
Cannabis impairs cognitive development (capabilities of learning), including associative processes; free recall of previously learned items is often impaired when cannabi is used both during learning and recall periods;
Cannabis impairs psychomotor performance in a wide variety of tasks, such as motor coordination, divided attention, and operative tasks of many types; human performance on complex machinery can be impaired for as long as 24 hours after smoking as little as 20 mg of THC in cannabis; there is an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents among persons who drive when intoxicated by cannabis.
Chronic health effects of cannabis use
•selective impairment of cognitive functioning which include the organization and integration of complex information involving various mechanisms of attention and memory processes;
•prolonged use may lead to greater impairment, which may not recover with cessation of use, and which could affect daily life functions;
•development of a cannabis dependence syndrome characterized by a loss of control over cannabis use is likely in chronic users;
•cannabis use can exacerbate schizophrenia in affected individuals;
•epithetial injury of the trachea and major bronchi is caused by long-term cannabis smoking;
•airway injury, lung inflammation, and impaired pulmonary defence against infection from persistent cannabis consumption over prolonged periods;
•heavy cannabis consumption is associated with a higher prevalence of symptoms of chronic bronchitis and a higher incidence of acute bronchitis than in the non-smoking cohort;
•cannabis used during pregnancy is associated with impairment in fetal development leading to a reduction in birth weight;
•cannabis use during pregnancy may lead to postnatal risk of rare forms of cancer although more research is needed in this area.
