That is dependent on a lot of things...
"Being High" does not specify the drug; for example being high on some drugs such as Amphetamines can and often does cause an increase in violent behavior (especially those with already violent tendencies) and as such would be dangerous.
On other other hand, depressants such as tranquilizers would have the inverse effects and make people very docile.

I sit on the fence on legalization of all drugs leaning towards pro Marijuana legalization but against many others.

Yes, it should be a right and an obligation for every citizen to get high every weekend. Cool Cool

Seriously?
Obligation would be as bad as it being illegal, or even worse.

being high isn't the issue, it's being in "possession" of the weed.

it's legal to be high on anything, in the comfort of your own home.  the crime is "possession".  dipshiat

Yes, of course it should be legal - it should be up to individuals to decide what they can/can't put into their own body. I also think people should be educated properly on the various risks of different drugs, and how to take them safely if they choose to do so. Plus, if drugs were legal and had quality control, less people would die from ODs/gang violence etc.

To all the people saying "It's OK as long as you're in a private place, not in public because you could hurt someone", well that's just stupid because other laws cover that stuff. It's already illegal to assault/rape/drink drive/drug drive etc. Obviously if someone was out of control while on drugs, and endangering others, then they should be arrested or whatever.

wtf are you guys serious? you want someone high to be doing whatever he wants outside while being high? aren't you afraid of accident, murderer, severe injuries and stuff, that people can do/cause when they are high ?? No it should be forbidden and be kept forbidden, in a controlled environment why not, (someone at home or any party when people around, or a pub for that why not) but making it legal opens the gate to that minority (of course there are people that know what they are doing but not everyone does) to do shit. while you are it, make drinking and driving a legal thing as well -.-

and that pool is such a troll many wow  Cool

So they should be put in a cage at the threat of lethal force to protect you while they're high ?  ooook buddy.

It should be legal worldwide, because violence is much worse than smoking some plants.
In addition, the police has better things to do like to solve real crimes like murder;

They will remember the current policy like the burning of witches in ancient times.

Being high itself should not be illegal.

Problem with drug is the abuser usually neglect his own personal responsibility to live a normal life and causing pain and grief to those who are close to him.


For someone with self control, I have no objection doing whatever you like so long as you are not stealing, robbing to get high.

I think it's okay as long as you don't affect anyone it should't be ilegal

You do effect others, you act like someone else while being high , you interact with other people, so your behaviour  changes, If you do It alone at home then It's not a problem i guess.

In my opinion, stoners are much less harmful to the society when compared to the pedophiles, rapists, murderers, bankers and robbers. The society should not discriminate against stoners.  Grin

stoners are not criminals until they break the law.  that goes for everyone: pedophiles, rapists, etc..
How can you know if you broke the law or not? It changes all the time. For example in my country they decided one year, sitting topless on the beach is bad, so they made a law forbidding it and immediately started to fine people. Same with drinking, one day somebody had an idea, that drinking beer in the park should be against the law, but at the same time business owners didn't want to lose money, so they made an exception. You can drink beer in the park if you're sitting on certain benches owned by restaurants selling beer. Cheesy

I don't believe the law helps in any way as it's being constantly changed. Alcohol used to be illegal, weed on the other hand used to be legal... People should be allowed to do whatever they like if they don't harm others, so yeah being high should be completely legal, just as being drunk is!

Weed used to be legal?
Of course, 100 years ago nobody cared if you smoked cannabis. You should read about laudanum, a popular medicine, made of opium, believed to cure various symptoms. Lincoln's wife used to take it.
The current anti cannabis policy is a product of the 20th century.

But they didn't know much back then about medicines. It probably didnt even work for whatever she was taking it for.

Well I think all drugs are legal until they're made illegal. That's why you have so many new 'designer' drugs popping up, and when they get banned they just change the chemical properties slightly to try get around the laws.

Lol I do not know what to say about that Smiley But  if you people in this state do something that harms to society, definitely should not be allowed.

there is no need to harm someone i believe weeds release a feeling of relaxation and calmness so if you were high you will only feel the urge of being jolly you cannot control your laugh or even have the urge to eat a lot or sometimes you will end up sitting in a bench under the tree and listening to some reggae music while you are enjoying the cold breeze Cheesy

Your post made me want to change my answer mainly because I realized that the question wasn't very specific.  I think there a high amount of dangerous drugs out there and I was under the impression this thread was about cannabis..


I agree, it wasn't specific enough, I might also have wrote directly about the extreme cases, but I believe always prevention and preparation for the worst case scenario is the better option and drugs and alcohol can be lethal, not only to the people consuming them but other people being it close or other people Smiley

Yea after rereading my post and the OP I figured hmm maybe there may be some that misunderstand so best to clarify somewhat.

Alcohol is legal, you can be drunk at any time. You can cause problems of the same caliber while being high as you are drunk. What is the problem here?

Alcohol is as legal as being high at home, or in a pub(there are cannabis pubs in Europe (Amsterdam for example)) alcohol is forbidden in many circumstances, such as driving for example, and the thing about alcohol is that it was allowed since early civilization and forbidding it almost impossible nowadays, but that doesn't mean we can open the flood gate to other stuff, and even with laws forbidding people from drinking outside and drinking at work and while driving .....ect shit happens by drunk people. and you want to add to that list, high people ?

If a person is doing something that is not negatively affecting anybody else, I have no issues with it. Most governments would save themselves all sorts of legal and financial hassles if they cared less about what individuals do in their own homes in their own free time.
