Also, what are your thoughts on pot being legal in Colorado? Some states are beginning to think it might be a good idea besides them. I'm not so sure. I personally think we should wait a few years first to see how it works out. I mean, right now it may be all good, but I have a feeling that in 5 years... Some seriously bad stuff may begin occurring. And then all the other states considering it may realize it isn't a good idea. And if I'm not mistaken, this doesn't really stop the black market in Colorado either. It should be legalized. It works for medicinal purposes - not to mention it's not bad for you compared to alcohol or smoking.

I agree most drugs are do only cause damage to the user... but alcohol can be dangerous for other people as well. I think alcohol is just too generally accepted. It's encouraged to use alcohol by the majority of society... It's probably safer to legalize every drug but it's use should only be allowed for adults in their own homes were it doesn't bother anyone. And people should be strongly discouraged people to use it. When drugs are legalized crime rates will drop and all drugs can be regulated.

Anyway if you get high on something what's stopping you from going outside?

Anyway if you get high on something what's stopping you from going outside? Nothing is stopping you. But using it outside should be illegal. Not just for these drugs but also for alcohol and especially smoking (I just hate those annoying kids smoking at my school's entrance). If people want to use that stuff in their homes they'd probably do it anyway. Drug use rates are lower in nations were they're legalized and there will be less drug related crimes, which is good.

Less of one kind of drug related crime and more of another.... instead of drug deals ending badly for example, there might be more crimes related to people acting irrationally while under the influence, and harming themselves or others.

Like I said countries in which drugs are legalized have less drug users... so there would actually be less crimes related to people under the influence of drugs.

I'm not sure allowing Marijuana is doing everything it is made out to be doing... I still think it should be allowed, but I've heard stories of people just going back to their regular distributor because it's cheaper and they don't want their name on some government list...

Why would the government make a list of drug users? They should just regulate the drugs sold in legal drug stores. Legal drugs should be more safe (as far as drugs can be safe) illegal drugs could be poisoned. Besides illegal drug dealers are often dangerous. I think people would choose the legal way just because it's safer.

They don't have a list of people that bought alcohol or tobacco either. That's because it's not controversial to sell tobacco or alcohol to the public.

I don't see why the government would keep track of people that buy drugs.

But there are always those that disagree... But I still don't see how and why the government would keep a list of drug users...

I'm fairly certain my government doesn't have a list of people that bought legal drugs or had legal abortions (although they could probably find out the later).

Plot twist: There is no Hitler Plot twist: Every other school book in the history of life says otherwise. Russia technically was socialist but was trying to move into even sh*ttier territory by installing communist principals.

Russia technically was socialist but was trying to move into even sh*ttier territory by installing communist principals. There are plenty of people alive that have seen Hitler, we've pictures of Hitler, we've videos of Hitler... we have seen the results of his actions. I've never see any proof like that for Satan or evidence to suggest Obama is Satan. Well, they're usually called communists because that is what they called themselves. But this school book said they were not Marxist-communists, they were state-capitalists. It does have some relation to communism, but it's more capitalistic. It basically means the country was like a capitalist company ruled by the government. My history book describes them at communists though. But it says they just attempted to realize Marx ideas, but they failed because Stalin took all power.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands our "fascist" party is the most popular party for young adults with 20%. And more than 50% of the young adults think Muslims shouldn't be allowed to wear kerchiefs. I mean seriously? How does that even harm anyone? Once we were one of the most tolerant countries in the world... but we're slowly losing that reputation... I hate my generation.

I believe it's close to the Sikh, something like that. My dad saw a guy in Wal-mart once carrying such a knife. It really is not right.
