All nonmedical drugs should be illegal, including smoking. Nobody cares if you damage your own body, but seeing this damage your brain, you become a harm to EVERYONE (smoking can also harm nonsmokers for standing around other smokers, sometimes you'd have to travel miles to find a place with a no smoking sign).

As Thomas Jefferson once said, "They should make education illegal, then everyone would get one."
If the possesion "Hemp", (the English version of Marijuana), were to suddenly become legal, what would happen to the $50,000,000,000 generated annually through its sale?
What would happen to the "Gorrila Growers", the importers, the middlemen, the security guards, the transporters, the salesmen, the small time crooks all the way up to the Feds who make a living off the fact that possessing Hemp is "Illegal".

It should be legalized everywhere. It's your body, do whatever you want with it regardless of how immoral someone else may view your actions.

I guess i will become immune to not breathing ever again, i'm around it enough at work, and even inside the building i can smell the weed with all doors and windows shut, the smell is that strong, I hate it, it makes me sneeze, cough, and gag, I want it all burnt and never to exist again, i am allergic to it and smoke from ciggerets, but normal smoke from firewood and burning paper doesnt bother me...ever think second hand smoking would be a issue with weed too? I cant just stop breathing..I have to breathe.

Second"lung" smoke is a problem even though I would HIGHly recommend you avoid cigarette smoke, the secondlung smoke from the most pure, unadulterated, gift from the Gods Bud tips should only enhance your life and enrichen your soul.

You do notice........weed purchased on streets or made in homes isnt always "pure" it's tainted with chemicals that affect your body and make you more high and "out of it" plus I wont breathe it in anyways, it smells like crap to me, anad weed isnt a gift from God, just because God made weed it doesnt mean it's good, God made Trex's but all they did was eat...then they died....they werent that great to dino-civilization.....though most people say DARE teaches kids when young not to do drugs, I say opposite, yes they say drugs are bad, but kids dont listen and just do it, I on the otherhand know what drugs do to the human body "good feeling" but in the long run not that awesome.......SO thats why i dont do drugs...plus the fact they stink, and i am allergic.....it smells worse than burning leaves.

your right AoBfrost, drugs can be harmful if abused, but remember, food is a drug, I know because I'm overweight, and I'm not trying to give young people advice on using Hemp because I was addicted, pyscology at least and craved it every day in my teens.
I say Renegade and alcohol r the 2 most addictive drugs on the planet, so users beware!

People will smoke weed in Britain whether it is legal or not - it's incredibly easy to get hold of.
Making it legal however would:
1. Most likely reduce the cost to users, who are currently getting ripped off
2. Take billions of pounds away from criminals, people who also deal in other illegal activities
3. Generate billions of pounds of tax revenue that would more than cover any costs of regulating the drug, providing support to people who want to stop using it and any costs caused by health problems.
4. Improve the quality and remove any harmfull additives that might be present in illegal weed
5. Allow for regulation - perhaps forcing users to register and only have access to a certain amount, perhaps even being "prescribed" it to ensure that smokers are acting responsibly with it and can't just walk in to a shop and buy as much as they want.
6. Aid sufferers of diseases like MS who have to endure immense pain that can be effectively reduced by smoking weed - currently people who try to help these people are getting arrested for dealing (despite distributing it for free in various forms such as chocolate or gel)
7. Alternative safer ways to take weed would become available, alternatives to smoking such as weed foodstuffs, gels etc for people who want to relax but don't want to kill their lungs.
It should be (as smoking/drinking) against the law to smoke anywhere in public apart from specially licensed cafe's, meaning that people would continue to smoke in the privacy of their own home.
The only downside I can see to this is that potentially a few people who would not normally take drugs might be tempted due to it being legal - I don't see that can really be that many people though considering how widespread it's current usage is.

I live in the netherlands and am quiet aware of the stereotype how we all smoke weed and go to prostitutes.
But actually, legalizing these things really makes it less attractive. Believe me, I have seen 2 old friends go down on this shit. Being 15/16, starting to smoke it like hell, don't care about other friends, don't care about school, or basicly care about anything. Good thing is they have come around now they are 19/20, but they messed up their future bad.
As for about 70% of the people I knew back then, they all tried it once. So did I. A fun night with your friends giving it a shot, fortunately it did not please me at all.
The usage of it (for the majority) is very occasional. Since it's legal, it lost interest. There is also a group of people who searches for harder drugs like XTC.
(As for the prostitutes, my city has 2 red light districts of it's own. Actually I drive through one of them each day since I live near there. But I can tell you, about 70-80% of the visitors there are foreign. Most of them Polish, German or other east-european countries.)

Like MexPirate said, specially licensed businesses should allow for marijuana smoking in their restaurants, just like there are alcohol licenses.
As for everybody griping about the health concerns... YOU'RE NOT FORCED TO BE AROUND IT. The high-horsery STILL amazes me.
Jecht, it should be legal. If you don't like drugs, here's a novel idea: DON'T DO DRUGS. Just because your morals stop you from participating doesn't mean everybody else has to stop because of you and a few others' high-horsery. If I want to damage my body, it's my right to do so.

We are if they smoke it on the streets, which is Warranto's concern. (The answer is obviously to ban it in public places)

Unless you're in a public building, you have the ability to walk away. Plus, just as you can't get drunk in public, you shouldn't be able to get high in public.
