Legalize all substances I feel like marijuana should be legallized here in houston tx, so many people are catching drug charges and most of them are only supporting their smoking habbits . Some of us such as my self use marijuana for several things it is a huge stress reliever for me personally ive also read and watched videos of people around the world where marijuana was legalized and literally everyone had a positive reaction to it. It was very helpful to them in many ways. It is also just a way to relax your mind and body. Posted by: ambersharie Report Post

People "destroy" themselves. Just because drugs are legal, doesn't mean you HAVE to do them. You simply have the right to do them, or not to do them. Regardless if drugs are legal or not, people are going to do them. Making them available to people will take users out of the black market. Making drugs illegal doesn't help to stop drug users.

People have a 9th Amendment Right to use drugs The Ninth Amendment provides a right to each individual to rights outside the scope of the Bill of Rights. In my opinion the use of recreational drugs meets that expectation. However, it only does so provided the use falls within certain criteria. If the use is within someone's private residence and does not result in bodily harm or limitation of the rights of others then it absolutely is your Ninth Amendment right to use drugs. Each individual has the right to self-determination as given by the Ninth Amendment, and to say someone can not use drugs within the confines of their own home or property is an absurd denial of individual liberties.

Yes they should be legalized. The only real harmful drugs out there are the drugs the Government started making in labs way back when and the drugs that The pharmaceutical industry puts out. Drugs are man made. Marijuana is natural came straight from our own planet and wasn't created in some lab. Marijuana is not a drug it's a plant. Not to mention that people have their own choices and free will to do what they want. Tax payers spend millions of dollars fighting the war on "drugs" and that war will never end.

Marijuana is much less harmful than many legal drugs Marijuana is a healing drug. It relieves pain. Just like alcohol, it can be enjoyed in moderation and responsibly by adults. It should be regulated and tazed just as alcohol and prescription drugs are. The most dangerous thing about marijuana is getting caught with it. Marijuana is not a dangerous drug when enjoyed responsibly. Report Post

Fight Fire with Fire So many people are arguing that we shouldn't legalize recreational drugs so that children wouldn't abuse them. Well my opinion is that if we do legalize these drugs, that children and teens would have a place to shoot for. They have that target age that they can wait for. I will admit some kids/teens will abuse this, but still. Report Post

Educate, don't hide. Drugs are something to be used with a careful approach. Do not demonize drugs with false information and statistics, educate people about their pros and cons. With real, scientifically sound data.



There is no argument that would convince someone hellbent on keeping drugs illegal, but it is just a matter of time for change to happen. It is happening at this precise moment. Report Post

Legalize all substances We as a country need to step forward and legalize and regulate all drugs. McDonalds is legal and i know it is bad for me and that is why i choose( as a free person in the "freedom" country) not to eat it every day. I am not saying i never eat it though but that is okay because i know how to balance my eating habits. This can be the same for using drugs because i know that using drugs every day can have a negative impact but if i choose to smoke canibis occasionally that doesnt mean i have to do it every day all day just because it is legal. Making drugs illegal doesnt help to stop drug use, it helps to build a prison system full of non violent drug offenders. Report Post

Legalize and tax all substances People are going to do heroin. People are going to do whatever they want. Making it available will take a good portion of users out of the black market. Files can be kept on how much is being used of what are now considered 'hard drugs' and rehabilitation can be addressed rather than treating them like criminals when they're not doing anything to harm anyone else.
