A better alternative.

Posted by rumblebelly on 01-27-2008 in Should Marijuana be legalized?

First I would like to point out something that pisses me off, it's not the tobacco in cigarettes thats really bad for you, it's all the shit that they put with it.

The only reason that there is proof that marijuana is bad for you, is because it's illegal in the first place. If marijuana was legal (like in the netherlands) then there would be regulations that would control the purity of the mixture. Not only would this mean that marijuana would be safer than it is now, it would also help to stop quite a few people from smoking cigarettes.

If you were to outlaw marijuana, why not alcohol and cigarettes as well? They're much worse for you than marijuana is/would be (unless they screw it up like cigarettes).

Note: I do not use any of the above mentioned substances.
