ZmeFly Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) God created us in his image. Our ability to reason and our conciense are what make us reflect his image. Our ability to reason is what sets us aside from being just another animal. Any abused drug that affects our ability to reason as God intended is a direct insult to God, since that is what makes us human beings and his very own children. Using drug abuses like marijuana or ANYTHING else take that away from us and make us no greater than animals since out ability to reason is impaired. By our ability to reason i don't mean stand up straight, drive right, walk right all animals can do that. Your conciense is imparied and your abiltiy to control your moral actions are impaired. While under the influece you are not the person God created you to be. Edited February 27, 2004 by ZmeFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Alcohol is legal; marijuana is not. Alcohol is sanctioned in the bible; marijuana is not. Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Alcohol is legal; marijuana is not. Alcohol is sanctioned in the bible; marijuana is not. Any questions? Unfortunately, our government has issues making the law based on God or the bible. The original poster asked for debates on why it should/should not be legalized for a class. Therefore, I'm trying to help with other arguments than God does not want us to do it. I doubt that that argument alone will be enough of an argument in the poster's class discussion. Maybe you can try to help with actual debating, so we can help with the argument. Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 okay you cant' tell me that it doesn't hurt anybody, but cuz it does. i know a guy whos a junior in high school, but has the the level of education lowever than a 3rd grader. why? cuz his been smoking marijuana since a very young age. he can't do school work, he can't read, his brain can't retain anything and he is gonna have to live with that, forever, and he can’t get any help, the damage that is done to him is permanent, its irreversible. and guess whatL? there are many just like him. :shame: marijuiana is wrong. its trying to fill in something that is fake, and thats not gonna work. it kills your brain cells and don't not help ppl but slowly bring them down, whether its gonna lead them to more or just gonna hurt them inside. It only takes them down. i can't think of any good point to have it legalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Some things that would happen if marijuana was legalized: 1. It would be taken over by businesses, thus making the "street" marijuana almost non-existent--no more marijuana dope dealers, as they wouldn't be able to compete 2. It would be government regulated and taxed, so the "potency" of a marijuana cigarette would probably reduce because of government safety measures that would probably be imposed (similar to how alcohol content is regulated in alcoholic beverages) 3. We'd have to watch even more of those dumb T.R.U.T.H. commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZmeFly Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Ok from a non-religous point of view. Using marijuana impairs your ability to function safely. The abuser becomes a saftey hazard that is whay Marijuana is a crime. Now if i have a closet full AK-47s and say "they won't cause anyone harm they are just in my closet, no one will get hurt. I'll take care of them." The feds won't care about my explanation the possession of those weapons poses a saftey hazard and i'll be eating cold pork in a slammer for 20 or so years.
