Cannabis should be legalized

I will be arguing that Cannabis should be legalized in general, for many beneficial and medial reasons. Con may state your argument in the first round. Cannabis: 1. A tall annual dioecious plant (Cannabis sativa), native to Central Asia and having alternate, palmately divided leaves and tough bast fibers. 2. Any of several mildly euphoriant, intoxicating hallucinogenic drugs, such as ganja, hashish, or marijuana, prepared from various parts of this plant. Source: http://www.thefreedict...

Agree: 0.00%
•	Abortion	N/OComments To me, life is partly what has been lived by the individual. If the baby has not had a chance to live, then I don't class it as taking a life. It's a shame indeed, and should be frowned upon. But I don't believe it as murder.
•	Affirmative Action	Und
•	Animal Rights	ProComments They should have rights to protect against general abuse, of course. But they should still be used to test products, and other things. But, like most things it should be regulated correctly.
•	Barack Obama	Con
•	Border Fence	N/OComments This doesn't apply to me, I don't live in the US.
•	Capitalism	ProComments Capitalism can be an essential driver in technology and progress of existing and upcoming products, as the greed for money drives innovation, reliability, and good products. However to correctly harness these benefits, capitalism mustn't be allowed to run rampant and out of control, and should be monitored and controlled by the government.
•	Civil Unions	Pro
•	Death Penalty	ConComments Personally, I can't agree with the death penalty being implemented in the UK. My argument will only be relevant to the UK. I don't think that a compassionate and modern government should execute people for their crimes. I don't believe it deters crime. Prison is about punishment, reflection and rehabilitation. I don't believe a quick death is punishment. "But prisoners are expensive for the tax payer" I hear you say. They owe it to the state to repay their debt to society, which can be done in a variety of ways including community service, and by bettering themselves to become more appropriate and worthy citizens.
•	Drug Legalization	ConComments No good can come from legalising drugs, only profit at the expense of the people.
•	Electoral College	N/S
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments The environment should be protected from harm, it is of utmost importance to keep the natural beauty of the planet in a generally good condition. Although, this should not always halt industrious progress. We sometimes forget that the Earth is remarkable in how it recovers from environmental stress.
•	Estate Tax	Con
•	European Union	ProComments There are several benefits for any country within the EU, however they should negotiate and fight for what they want from the EU, as its policies do not apply to everyone.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments I've witnessed people suffering from illness, sometimes terminal, and frankly it seems barbaric that the state forces them to live, against their wish in some occasions, when they want THEIR life to cease. True compassion can only be found when people in such circumstances are allowed to take control of their own life, and don't have to tolerate it until the end, like the law currently dictates.
•	Federal Reserve	Und
•	Flat Tax	ConComments Success is to be enjoyed, but those who are privileged to enjoy extravagant lives should pay a little more tax, so that the poor and underprivileged aren't exploited and taxed dry. Flat tax may appear fair, but it does injustice to the poor and allows the rich to pay very little tax in accordance to their earnings. A flat tax in terms of percentage of earnings, would be the fairest way to go in my eyes.
•	Free Trade	ProComments Taken from my Benefits of the EU paragraph. As part of the single market, the EU has free trade between all its member states. This is great for UK businesses, who don’t have to worry about quotas or import taxes. As such, almost 50% of our exports go to the EU. (The EU also has an iron tariff wall against non-members, which we don’t want to be on the wrong side of.)
•	Gay Marriage	Con
•	Global Warming Exists	Pro
•	Globalization	Und
•	Gold Standard	Und
•	Gun Rights	Con
•	Homeschooling	N/O
•	Internet Censorship	Pro
•	Iran-Iraq War	Und
•	Labor Union	Con
•	Legalized Prostitution	Pro
•	Medicaid & Medicare	N/S
•	Medical Marijuana	ConComments For those in need of pain relief, more effective methods are available to them. The usage of a harmful and addictive drug isn't professional, and is viable to exploitation.
•	Military Intervention	Pro
•	Minimum Wage	Pro
•	National Health Care	Pro
•	National Retail Sales Tax	N/O
•	Occupy Movement	Con
•	Progressive Tax	Pro
•	Racial Profiling	Und
•	Redistribution	Con
•	Smoking Ban	UndComments
•	Social Programs	Pro
•	Social Security	ProComments For those able to work, falling on hard times may not be their fault, and they shouldn't suffer for it. I believe for as long as someone is willing to work, and are law abiding and proactive, adequate social security should exist to help them when they fall down. This is important for areas of the country where unemployment is higher, people need to be supported for those areas to ever improve.
•	Socialism	Pro
•	Stimulus Spending	N/O
•	Term Limits	Con
•	Torture	Und
•	United Nations	ProComments Although they are sometimes internationally intrusive, at least they have the interests of the people at heart.
•	War in Afghanistan	Pro
•	War on Terror	ProComments Terrorism should not be tolerated, and only ever hurts the innocent.
•	Welfare	ProComments This doesn't exist in the UK, but instead falls under Social Security.
