Cannabis.
I know we've had this talk before. However, I hate long and rambley walls of text. So, keep it short, sweet and to the point.(no longer than three or four lines).

Legalize it, but tax it, governments can make money of every shop selling cannabis, it is used for medical research and can help with pain relief, only thing that is stopping legalization is fear mongering
Yeah that's a very good point. The system of controlling import and export would need to be standardized with blind officials in charge so no bias occurs.
Have medical issues. Can't take pills. Need pot. I agree with recreational use as well but I think I'm mostly in for the medical reasons.
I am not here to agree or disagree with what you say. I only ask where in the Constitution does it give the government the right to control our lives in such a way? State law is another debate but in what way shape or form does the federal government have the right to intrude in my life like that?
Good point. Honestly whenever anyone i know is high and id driving they actually drive more cautious than they normally would.
I honestly think that any type of influenced driving (drunk, high, or lack of sleep) should be abolished. I don't mind people having fun but when controlling a vehicle mere feet from that family of four in the minivan, that's where I draw the line.(my opinion may be a little biased because I have been directly affected by drunk driving)
legalize it and tax it as tobacco, let people grow it with the proper forms, then let the benefits unfold.
Legalizing it would just turn it over to companies like big tobacco who would find a way to mess it up like they did with tobacco. They would add a bunch of crap that would make it addictive and destructive just so they can get more bang for their buck. I would love to be able to enjoy marijuana again (military doesn't condone) but when the government puts their hands in something, it just turns it sour.
I'd like to have a lowered drinking age but honestly I can see bigger problems arising from it. However if more parents introduced their kids to alcohol and made it a common thing binge drinking might not be a big problem? Honestly tobacco products do more damage (short and long term) then any of these drugs.
the drinking limit in many countries is 18, including my national UK, and in others even 16. And in the US, it's 21 - okay, you might want to see lower drinking ages there but really, as I see it the US is too paranoid about such things. We europeans get on fine with our lower drinking ages, there really aren't any massive problems with it
well you can legally drink with 14 if your parents are with you. With 16 you are allowed to drink beer and wine and with 18 you can drink liquor.
Most people can handle alcohol better. Some are just stupid, usually when they are drinking illegally they end up in a hospital or when they are 18 they think they have to try out everything at once.
In america I was drinking with some guys on my 18th birthday we had about 24 beers with 4 guys I had 9 beer and didnt really feel drunk so the others didnt drink that much but they were wasted as shit.
Because I can drink more it is harder for me to end up in a hospital usually I have to throw up before I get really really drunk.

what's i'm saying is, it's all down to the individual. some people are good at it, some people aren't - there's no use just saying 'everybody who drinks below a certain age can't handle it and will be a wreck because of it' because that's not true for everybody - take me - i'm 16, i enjoy drinking and getting drunk - i got quite badly, and technically illegally drunk at two parties over christmas this last year. I could handle it, and i take a few days out of drinking anything after such happens - i'm also an A-grade student at school. See, everything is relative to the individual and not just down to age. So i agree with you to a point.
I agree with you us Americans are all to frequent "go big or go home". Unfortunately that sends some kids go home in body bags. I was more worried about younger kids then the ones now drinking under age. However, the younger kids are more watched by parents making sure they are safe.
I think it should be legalized, why?
Because, I have done research (For a school project... lets go with that...) and found that being High has no negative effects on your brain. (Aside from the hullucinations) Where as alcohol damages your brain quickly, almost every time you drink.

Health risks (or lack thereof) aside, Drugs in general cost tax payer money to keep illegal. Gov'ts can either dump money and resources into law enforcement against drug use, or they can simply tax and regulate the substance to create revenue rather than spend it.
Even if you don't smoke pot, or want it anywhere near your house, you should acknowledge that other people smoking it has no real effect on you, so why should you help pay to keep it illegal?
