No, because people need laws to regulate their stupidity. You wouldn't agree because you're bloody short-sighted. There's nothing wrong with chilling out in a field smoking a doobie, but many times the consequences effect others negatively. I should know, this idiot at my school was high and smashed into another car, injuring the person. So no, but if people in general weren't stupid and selfish I would say the contrary.

Your position as expressed could be construed as rude; OK you may not care. But if people comment on the way you express your position, why of all of a sudden do you care?

On topic again.

I would vote "for" if there was a place I could.

But.. I think I might dislike people who smoke alot more than people who drink alot. I don't like any of them to be honest.

I think it should be legalised, it tends not to kill like ecstacy, heroin etc and although side effects sometimes can include paranoia and schzophrenia, is it any worse than giving yourself and others lung cancer from smoking, or liver failure/killing whilst drink driving etc while under the influence of alcohol??

Me too.

I would be in favor of legalization , alcohol and tobacco are legal and both are far more dangerous than marijuana .

im against all recreational drug usage
i see it as another addiction, and lossing control
i don't want that
and i want the "best" for everyone else to.
i also see it as not just harmin one person. it harms everybody
unless your extermely islolated, you have severe emotional, and social connections to others, everything you do effect others, everything. and if your isolated, you still effect others, we're all part of the same system, a butterfly in south america can cause a storm in europe. (chaos theory, deterministic chaos) also i am not simply me, for what makes me is not simple me, my brothers, and random unknowen people affect me inmensely, as they effect everybody, we attribute to little to ourselves to thing that something like lighting up only effects the person doing it. its harmful to everyone. it takes away liberty, it decreases life expactancy, and more.

Should we illegalize alcohol and video games?

They can be addictive, cause loss of control, and can decrease life expectancy.
