[QUOTE=aridpheonix;14906996]And they get the drugs from their dealer, or people their dealer knows. So if pot was legalized and they never met the dealer then there would be no, or limited access to harder drugs.[/QUOTE]
uhm, if pot just disappeared, I'd start buying smack, if that vanished, I'll just keep going to further please myself like the harmless drug pot did.
Your plan wouldn't work, Criminals/ dealers/ your "down the street guy", need their ~$CASH$~ some how, some way. Selling the other 40 other drugs they already have been selling other then pot, you wouldn't put a dent into anything, other then reducing their funds slightly.
[QUOTE=Thlis;14907005]My rebuttal is basically:
This wouldn't stop drug sales, it would only divert them to worse and worse things.[/QUOTE]
My rebuttal is basically:
If you don't like weed, don't smoke it.
End of discussion.
[QUOTE=Thlis;14907005]Reasons:
1. Illegal drug trades would no longer be funded.
Right, worse and worse drugs would be trafficed
[b]It would end marijuana trafficking, one of the most popular drugs on the market.[/b]
2. Is it easier to get alcohol or weed? Weed. The legalization of it would make it harder to get for minors (under 21)
What?
[b]It's easier for minors to get weed than alcohol. You don't see alcohol dealers on the streets.[/b]
3. People are killed, robbed, and beaten over weed whilst trying to purchase it off of the 'streets.' Legalization would end the risky need to go and buy that.
No, they would only be killed for worse and worse drugs.
[b]Not relevant. Some people just want their weed, they don't murder and steal drugs for kicks.[/b]
4. Exposure to a drug dealer (from buying weed) is usually exposure to more drugs, therefore the gateway theory.
People would just to move to worse and worse drugs
[b]What?[/b][/QUOTE]
Heroine is illegal, yet Oxycotin is not.
Explain why this is a paradox.

Alcohol is LEGAL and harder to get than weed
weed is ILLEGAL and easier to get than alcohol
so if weed was LEGAL then it would be harder to get because of having to go through id checks and stores.
And what the christ, no. If weed became legal one day, i would smoke weed. Not be like well because it's legal now i'm going to move on to worse and worse drugs.
And so many dealers would be put out of business for not being able to sell marijuana. If it happens they aren't going to up and say WELL LETS START MAKING METH.

Ha, becuase it's regulated and mandated by the government for medical use, to sum it up, limited availability rules. you have to be in so much shit to even be prescribed Oxycotin. "Percocet, Endocet, Tylox, and Roxicet"
Hurrr wait

Oxycontin in an effective pain killer while at the same time it trips you the fuck out. I remember when my mother had surgery a long time ago and she had some of that shit and she was screaming saying she saw a blue lobster on her bed.

Marijuana is the most widely used illegal drug in the world. Slightly is a drastic understatement. And believe it or not, everyone that sells weed, does not sell other drugs. ex: A forbes 500 billionaire made ALL of his money selling marijuana, nothing else.

Well you need to know there is more then, "lol becuase it's a cool cus it's used in medical treatments lolol, but idk why I can't find it on the street"

Yeah, I understand that, but it isn't the only widely used drug either.

They're both opiates.
[QUOTE=Thlis;14907111]No it's not.[/QUOTE]
Yes it is.
Nowadays it's easier for minors to get a g of weed, than a pack of cigarettes.
[QUOTE=aridpheonix;14907141]Talking about minors.[/QUOTE]
Let me restate this.
Fuck no it's not.

Weed would be a terrible substitute for paper(ayy letz go to da b-room and smoke sum hash mayn), food(what the fuuuck?), housing(firemen would get high just by sniffing my house when it would be burning down),and oil(...?)
[QUOTE=High Air Flow;14907143]They're both opiates.[/QUOTE]
Oh nice, I totally didn't know that, that doesn't even answer your own original question of why one is legal and one is not. AND technically they're both ILLEGAL if you count the person possessing is not prescribed to Oxycontin, then you're fucked.
ah asking just for the paradox, hurrr, I need sleep

But they don't prescribe Heroin. The NATO forces burned the opium poppy crop in Afghanistan (Their only type of crop and economy fueler). instead of buying it from the farmers.
I bet 15% of people who do drugs probably do it just to say they did it on the internet.

Going up to one of your friends that smokes weed, asking for a number, calling the number, and buying a gram of weed is ONE HUNDRED FUCKING [B]THOUSAND[/B] times easier than going into a store and being completely able to buy some brews. Mainly because you just can't.
