Alcohol kills brain cells literally and also causes liver/kidney damage, THC just gunks up the neurotransmitters in your brain, but marijuana is illegal and in the lovely state of New York, people can go to jail for something like ten years just for possession of it.
In the end, it all boils down to how much money the people in power can make without losing said power. Capitalism: It works for YOU!

Look at the Netherlands, they have legal marijuana and as a result the lowest drug-related injury/death/incapacitation rate in the world.
Then look at Indonesia, they have the harshest drug penalities in the world and people are queing up to smuggle drugs in for the illegal enjoyment of the populace.
I agree with you Voodoo Dog... But only about marijuana in the baked goods form, psychoactives in low doses under controlled circumstances and heroin as a medicinal drug (seeing as quality heroin is less 'muck u up' than many heavy anaesthetics and sedatives.)

Marajuana, I would like research to be able to be done before legalization. It was in an earlyer thread that someone said that MJ was in the same catigory of narcotics as Cocaine and Heroin; therefore, we can't even research it to prove it has medicly useful.
Damnit we use opium to treat cancer patients (Oxy-contin) but love brownies to treat glacoma is a big no-no, that pisses me off to no end.

Marijuana is technically a hallucinogen, but it's definately not at all anything like heroin or cocaine.
And Video Goer (I'm going to call you that, I'm not going to spell out your new name): I know, I was just throwing in some more hypocracy using historical anecdotes. I'm all for legalization.

Marijuana, you grow the crop, you harvest the crop, you use the oil in baked goods, the leaves for cheap weed and the buds for good weed - cocaine, you grow, you harvest, you process to a certain extent, you cut with baking soda (sometimes) you give it to somebody elses nose and let it eat away at their septum.
Heroin, you grow the crop, you make small incisions in the seeds, you harvest the latex that forms from the sap that is released, you grind it to powder, you transform it to morphine, you pretend to be running a fish cannery/pickling factory to hide the vinegar smell of transforming morphine to diacetyl-morphine and then turn that to heroin. Its a seriously extensively transformed product. Then for some reason people cut it - thats stupid... cause when you cut it you lower its chemical purity to expand the mass to sell more... but why would you raise the chemical purity in the first place if you were just going to cut it? Drug lords are stupid.
No one stare to closely at me regarding my intimate knowledge of heroin. I'm not naughty, I swear.

there is not one organ in your body that doesn't suffer damage from alcohol. and marijuanna doesn't make people start fights in public with strangers (except the 1 out of 1000 person who smokes too much and gets waaaay yo paranoid).
so MJ should be legal...
LSD is a bit different, as much as i like it... it's still a bit risky...
and it effects different people in a whole range of ways that would not be cool if everyone were taking it...
speed (the sniffing kind) is fine... but cocain makes people assholes!!!
and only certain people should be allowed to drink.

there are some really wierd rules about it. you can go to sparky bar, but i think the law requires you to at least purchase a coffee or snack there too.
so er...
you can only have pot if you cure the munchies while you're there or if you have a legal drug with it...
you're not alowed to carry it around though...
