Quote:It is illegal for a reason my friend. It is the reasons why I oppose its legalisation.
Aside from ensuring that producers and distributors of alcohol don't have to face legal competition from a less dangerous drug, what other "reasons" are there for keeping pot illegal?
Quote: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.
Damn straight it's about personal freedom. Sorry you have a problem with the idea. I don't.
Quote:And well, as our materialist/pragmatist friend Lastpoet spoke, it can be taxed, so legalisation has benefits? No, it does not.
Mere assertion.
Quote: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.
I doubt it's the "concept of legalization" that you hate. Is it the possibility that someone might *gasp* profit from providing a product that people like and will gladly pay for?
I don't get it. You object to people profiting in the black market and you object to people profiting from legal sales?
