What are the Weakest Arguments Against Legalizing Drugs?

I remember watching Donahue one time and the theme of the show was "Women who are going to leave their husbands if they don't quit smoking pot"

5 couples argued over the issue and the biggest argument they could come up with was "it makes him tired"...by the end of the show 4 out of the 5 women had changed their mind.

One of the weakest things about the drug warriors is the fact that they themselves believe their arguments are so weak that they refuse to debate in public.

"President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana."

legalizing marijuana would put a end to the Nazi movement in the united states .we must allow police to scare people into turning in their friends family members this must continue or Hitlers memory will be lost forever

My favorite: We must continue to have a war on drugs to protect our children from drugs.

With one of the world’s highest drug use rates in spite of our “War on Drugs” we can always respond with: “After decades of the war on drugs, how is it working?”

This faulty reasoning has been used in argument for so long that many people mindlessly buy into it.

I love the old lies, I love the tradition of "officials" telling us the facts. And then I ask, "why do you insist on supporting an ongoing criminal enterprise"? The looks and answers are priceless. Of course they always deny this fact. However they have had over thirty five years plus, and still can't or won't stop the flow of drugs into our neighborhoods. Thereby installing criminals as the controllers of distribution, purity, sales and profits. But maybe after the "wall street" swindle, I'm wrong. Maybe we as a people, are ok with "bs" crooked cops, ruined lives for burning a plant, and all of our taxes blown on overtime for cops and prison guards. If so, what the hell is the difference? But I think America is ready for a change, I think most of us want good government. But it won't come looking for us, stop going along with the lies, call the local "officials" on their crap. Ask them why they are supporting an ongoing criminal enterprise?

I think there should be more debate on this issue. I feel that people infavor should be aware of their rights, not afraid to support the issue, and have better dialogue for presenting this issue. If you live in a community or state where this is unheard of then it is a shock. It is hard to explain the benefits and the ongoing productive (real) research related to certain drugs good and bad. Only when the general public is fully and truthfully informed will there be change in the way we perceive drugs. The medicinal use of marijuana would bring in more revenue for our struggling economy, bring help to those who have chronic illnesses and mental/physical disabilities, and hopefully gear our young to more constructive means of monetary funds and/ or entertainment,maybe even education sounds fun then. Yes, when they are aware there is no veil to uncover, it may take the"illusion" away from such things. More research open debate and action must be done. I believe this was the core argument during any election this year, improve the economy, help our youth(monies gained from taxes and/or fines,not citations,) improve healthcare. 3/3 its a no brainer there are more issues to address than this. Be fully aware with an economy facing over 10 trillion dollars in debt (check this out politicians) this would actually save money!! Get on with it!!

[We need the cops to keep our kids from the drug dealers],My answer is why is it the cops job to teach your kids right from wrong,If you were good responsible parents your kids wouldn't be on drugs and the cops could fight real crime.They just stand looking at me all dumb founded then I accuse them of being unfit parents and that really wreaks havoc on their minds makes them spitting mad,but the killer is when I ask them why they think it is the dealers fault that their kids use drugs they say they give them to them,I tell them I dont know what planet their from but I never seen drug dealers give away drugs it dont pay to buy something and then give it away and if that were the case they wouldn't be dealers so they must not have a dealer problem in their area so they dont need the cops.This is usually when they take their leave after calling me a few go to hells and a moron but I'm not the frustrated one making the retreat

"Marijuana, Inc." a one hour documentary will be aired on CNBC this month. It will be January 22nd and 25th, at 9:00 AM and 1:00 AM (EST). Meanwhile, it would be nice for all the marijuana friends getting this to go to the You Tube video and leave a positive comment on this subject, which you can do by going to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUQOQyNx-rU – that is of course – if you have something positive to say.
Send this to everyone on your email list for them to add their positive comments on this subject also.
