They make you wear a seatbelt because if too many people die in car accidents your insurance costs would be a bytch! You really think they make you wear seat belts because they care about you?

You wrote "we do wats better for us overall".

You don't think arresting people and putting them in prison for having a plant that has been proven to help people, and other countries who have decriminalized it don't seem to have a problem from it, is best for the population overall?:beli:

Do you know what going to prison does for your life?

Do you know how much of a drain it is on our economy?

Breh, please don't become a politician. You won't make it past your family voting for you!
I'm more worried bout the slippery slope...nikka I'm 23 getting ready to have kids...if weed is legalized for the 320 million people we have here than wats next? Can you imagine over 100 million people here high all the time...Dats gonna fukk up our economy...
The thing you said bout being a politician was funny but not true...bt funny regardless...
It's best if we keep the status quo and not rock the boat...

So I'm assuming you don't agree with alcohol being legalized?

You sound like a person who has drugs hit their family hard. I used to think just like you when I was around 10 years old but, I had to use my common sense, and learn more. Then I also talked to people who was using hard drugs, and they didn't feel it was weed that was a problem. I guess I just grew up. I remember I used to think I would go crazy if I smoke herb because I heard it so much. Or I would go to harder drugs but, none of it happened. The people I know who did go harder, they would have done it anyway because they took dangerous risk in everything. From sex, to spending money. I didn't go on to harder drugs because I saw what happens when you do, and my ego isn't big. Plus, I know what they do from watching people and learning the science of them.

HUH?

You never heard of Colorado? Or Portugal? Or Holland?

Here we go with the west indian acting like hes so above american issues. GTFOH! I grew up with nothing but hatians, jamaicans, and other caribbean people. They got high like everyone else. Maybe not in haiti but that is because there is very little money there, but lets not act like haitains themselves who have been here don't do "drugs"

You saying "drugs are unhaitian altogether" helps me understand why you think the way you do. I'm not going into it but, I know whats up with you. I knew it was something going on because a person who has an education of society in America, would not think the way you do, unless they have a bias somewhere. I accept what you think, but I know whats going on with ya!

Learn something my egotistical, 1920's friend:

"The question is, does the new policy work? At the time, critics in the poor, socially conservative and largely Catholic nation said decriminalizing drug possession would open the country to "drug tourists" and exacerbate Portugal's drug problem; the country had some of the highest levels of hard-drug use in Europe. But the recently released results of a report commissioned by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, suggest otherwise.

The paper, published by Cato in April, found that in the five years after personal possession was decriminalized, illegal drug use among teens in Portugal declined and rates of new HIV infections caused by sharing of dirty needles dropped, while the number of people seeking treatment for drug addiction more than doubled.

"Judging by every metric, decriminalization in Portugal has been a resounding success," says Glenn Greenwald, an attorney, author and fluent Portuguese speaker, who conducted the research. "It has enabled the Portuguese government to manage and control the drug problem far better than virtually every other Western country does.

Compared to the European Union and the U.S., Portugal's drug use numbers are impressive. Following decriminalization, Portugal had the lowest rate of lifetime marijuana use in people over 15 in the E.U.: 10%. The most comparable figure in America is in people over 12: 39.8%. Proportionally, more Americans have used cocaine than Portuguese have used marijuana."
