No, just no. marijuana is a horrible thing, and all other drugs too (I don't support alcohol and cigarettes, they both harm others as well as yourself).
Once upon a time we made Alcohol illegal and ppl still found ways to do it. The fact is we will always find a way we should at least have some benefit from it like tax money and profit margins I would be rich off the Marlboro green label over night =)
Your theory is like saying "Well, murdering people is illegal but people still do it. So lets make it legal to murder innocent people, it'll save us money, so that makes it right!
But he's right there's no way you could completely stop people from smoking weed. Someone will find a way to sneak it around. I don't see you making a huge argument against cigarettes or alcohol, those kill way, way more people every year than weed does.
Hmmm my captcha was vikie

I don't think marijuana should be legalized though. It'll promote doing drugs, when someone enjoys using it it could tempt them to use harsher drugs, risking anyone's health for money isn't worth it.
What about the million of lives that are lost to alcohol and cigarettes every year? Let's not even get started on fast food. Also, you talk as if cigars and booze are completely harmless and aren't drugs. They are all drugs, the only difference between is a piece of paper in the middle of the constitution.

Difference - Advocating physical violence of any type is illegal.
Using addictive drugs is not.
It's called precedence.

Getting high off drugs could provoke violence. Also, either way breaking the law is NOT OKAY and just because people will do it whether its a law or not doesn't mean it should be legalized
You can also get high off alcohol and become violent "could provoke violence" isn't much of an argument, video games can "provoke violence" you want to ban that too?
Get your arguments backed-up and solid.
I never said it should be okay because people will find a way to do it anyways, I just said that your argument is not really valid because they are in different jurisdictions of the law.
Referring back to my first post in this thread, I said I think it should be legalised because we already have a precedence in the same category with alcohol.
Edit - spelling

No, they're different drugs and each can do a certain amount of damage. and I NEVER SAID THAT ALCOHOL AND CIGS WERE HARMLESS, SHOW ME WHERE I SAID THAT.
Vikey, get this through your thick skull. Marijuana does as much, sometimes less, damage than alcohol and tabaco. Fact.

Any action taken against a cop is taken up 1 assault level. That'll probably get you locked up for a couple days.

Did you know George Washington grew marijuana in his garden? I think it was that... it was a illegal drug.
Bill Clinton also had his tries, it doesn't affect in the littlest bit whether or not it should be legalized.

Cigarettes and Alcohol are so much better.
Oh wait, no they aren't, they kill people all the time.
Quoting myself for truth. I wrote a paper about the legalization of marijuana before, the only reason marijuana was outlawed was because it was detrimental to certain interests, who ran a smear campaign against it.
The gateway theory is bull$%^&. Cigarettes and Alcohol are much worse for you. Marijuana doesn't lead to increased violence. Etc. Etc. Read up on some of the research that has been done on it. Otherwise you just look like an idiot posting.
