Marijuana and the law

[kılıç_mehmet]

So much tax to be gathered from being legal. And the users wouldn't resort to crime because it would probably be cheaper, and in better quality.

Spoken like a true capitalist.

You are opposed to legalizing marijuana because . . . it's currently illegal? Sorry, but if your post means something else, the meaning escapes me.

It is illegal for a reason my friend. It is the reasons why I oppose its legalisation.
Besides, those who advocate legalisation are mostly advocating legalisation with the said phrase of "personal freedoms". I have a problem with that, as this argument can also be used to legalise any other recreational drug, as it befits people.
And well, as our materialist/pragmatist friend Lastpoet spoke, it can be taxed, so legalisation has benefits? No, it does not. I'm fairly certain that it will become another focal point of international corporations to establish a monopoly on the "legal" drug trade, and they will pressure the world to legalize its trade, usage and growing worldwide. The concept of legalisation represents everything I hate.
