> [@94Blackls](#): > > what is the bad, do u drink alcohol, do u remember back in the day when they had prohibition?? > > All these people looking down on us for smoking a plant or growing a plant, how could a plant be a crime??? they say we have freedom but how free are we, we get thrown in jail and locked up for smokin a plant, i think that they need to worry about real crimes, do u know how much they spent on the war on drugs in just one year, 11billion dollars, down the drain, they need to leagalize freedom by freeing the plant. people are judged, harassed and thrown in jail for smoking a plant, its crazy, and to think that alcohol takes lives and with pot no one dies! > > WHERE IS THE BAD? i do belive that they even use marijiana in the management of severe symptoms such as pain, spasm, bladder dysfunction and nausea and could therefore bring a dramatic improvement in quality of life for people with aids wasting syndrome, glaucoma, alzheimers disease, hypertesion, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, nail patella syndrome, ,brain injury, stroke, spinal injury, epilepsy, tourettes syndrom, eating disorders and tons of other shit > > i have read that teenagers who smoke marijuana but not tobacco appear to be more likely to get good grades, play sports and live with both parents than those who also use tobacco. teens who smoke pot were more likely to have a good relationship with their friends than teens who smoked neither tobacco or pot > > i have already done papers on this topic back when i was in school…and i passed :word: i’m not going to lie…i’ve smoked it. i’d rather smoke than drink, but thats me. i can see both sides of the story…i understand why people don’t want it legal and why others do. i say legalize. it…not to have everyone walking around being ripped all day (theres enough people who do that)…but just that if they tax it the state and govt will profit and maybe make up for the war costs. I’ve also met some pretty smart people who smoke pot. it helps people unwind and relax and you can put away everyday stress for a while. is that right? some people say yes…some no. if you’re a relaxed pot smoker and do it occasionally or at a party…i don’t care. i’m for legalizing it. It’s not for everyone, i understand. but i agree with 94blackls, i havnet heard of people dying while they’re high, or smoking too much. It’s just a plant, people burn it, it’s natural. i just don’t see it as a big deal. oh well…now lets see how many people flame me for this post 😛 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/legalize-it/42812)._
