Holy ****. Drugs are different to food. Also, I'd like to restate my point that drugs change your mental state, not just release dopamine. Drugs are harmful to those around you.

Alrighty, I accept this challenge.

Spoiler

20 billion dollars spent on enforcing marijuana laws is a justifiable amount, as its intentions are not just to arrest those abusing cannabis. Declaring war on drugs is not just declaring war on illicit drugs, it is declaring war on those who deal, use, sell, and involve themselves with illicit drugs - crime syndicates and the like. We all know of their dodgy dealings in black markets, and one of the ways governments try to combat them is to cut out their front line. Arresting those with weed is the best way to do this as weed is carried around a lot more frequently and less securely than 'harder' drugs such as cocaine. As such, the government is working to protect its citizens from crime syndicates and the harmful effects of cannabis.
If we were really were to cut some part of the US budget, why not the military? The military budget for 2012 was a whooping $682 billion.

No, I'm just quite immature so I apologise.

That was an error in the submit process, I posted the same thing twice accidently.

Did you really just suggest spending less money on our Military which protects us constantly from threats that otherwise would wreak havoc killing millions over just dropping an ineffective waste of time and prison space?

Also... Nobody even buys weed like you suggested. Half of the dealer's are pretty friendly and likely won't rip you off. This isn't the 1980's anymore. Drop the misconceptions or stop debating.

And if you refer to Cocaine as a 'harder drug' then I can see why you take Marijuana so seriously.

Well I mean I can't say that because my dealer is my bestfriend and I've only ever bought from his family, but I have met a lot of drug dealers and they've never really been too shady.

But a lot do scam kids.

Considering the US does have the largest military budget, and by a longshot, I'm not completely opposed to cuts to their budgets. JS

Yeah but do you think that would be a better cut than a war which we're losing? Especially with all the **** going on with Isis?

Oh hell no. I completely oppose the drug war, but I was just saying military budget cuts wouldn't be catastrophic.

Well I mean, that is a possible outcome.

Such an intelligent and expansive rebuttal you have given, you really are adding to this debate.



While it would provide tax money for the government, it's worth noting that the price of marijuana would drop tremendously with the legalisation. Although prices could be set high if there's a high tax. Regardless, it wouldn't have that much of an impact on a state's tax income.

Also, though these cases have happened, they need more research before they can be fully verified to alleviate seizures. There's also that they are many seizure medications available for patients to find what works best for them.

People are going to do it anyway, so imo it would be worth legalizing it. (refer to my previous post above)

Oh yeah, because starvation and death are worse than what you have stated. You ever been to McDonalds? I suppose that should be illegal? I mean you're practically killing yourself.

Why do you compare drugs to food? That has to be the most idiotic statement I have ever read considering they are nothing alike??

Well food releases dopamine which makes you happy and so does weed. So they clearly are the same. i joke
