All drugs are bad except for the medical ones, so I say just medicine should be legal.
All other drugs are bad.

Ground your claims.
I don't think any drugs whatsoever should be legal. If people could be trusted and responsible with them, sure, but many American people aren't responsible enough to do that. And it gives younger kids easier access to something they don't need.

We're never going to stop people from taking drugs. It'd be better to make the drugs they're taking more sanitary, and with them legal, people won't have to commit other crimes in order to buy drugs.
Legaly I can't drink until I am 18....but I can own a sword/knife/ninja-equiptment when I am 15.

Wow, in England you have to be 15 to own a knife? Here, there is no age on owning a knife. I have some. My brothers have knifes. And not just swiss army knifes, either. Anyway, Back on topic. I think Pot should be legal.
I get what you're saying, and you make a valid point, but legalizing them will just call for easier access. People don't need easier access to something like that. I despise drugs more than anything in the world (except for sex offenders), so of course I wouldn't want them legalized. If we legalize them, more problems will arise. People will make stupid choices and take them when driving (not that they don't do that stuff now, it would just be much easier to do that kind of thing if they're legalized). Wow, I never knew I acted this much above my age (I'm only 13)...

People make stupid choices anyway... As for the driving remark, marijuana does not affect driving nearly as much as even a small amount of alcohol does... not that I would know. Also, about acting above your age, I think you're acting at your age. I acted the same way when I was 13. Most people don't develop a sense of pragmatism (which is generally needed to believe in the legalization of non-addictive, non-lethal drugs) until at least 16, causing misguided government-funded idealism (in the form of D.A.R.E.) to create a constantly brainwashed age bracket.

I still remember DARE, I found the program useless and boring. Racism was a factor in making marijuana illegal, so was Jazz music, and that the hemp plant was taking money away from cotton. Marijuana is nowhere near as bad as people say, I've never tried it, but I probably will some day.
It may not be as bad as people say it is, but it sure as heck isn't healthy.

True, but neither are most enjoyable activities, like eating greasy food, drinking caffeinated or overly sugary beverages, and sitting around for extended amounts of time watching movies or tv, and playing video games. It's up the the individual user to decide whether or not an item's mental benefits outweigh its physical detriments.
I've done all that myself Cmonkey for the past 6 years, I don't even do alot of exercise....and I am as fit as any other teenager, so it doesn't qualify for everybody, some people are just born with a better metabalism.

In the same way, there are people who smoke pot every day, but have no physical deficiencies because of it.

Around my neighbourhood it is already at easy access. Right now I could go ask atleast twenty people I know and could get hooked up. I am not saying it's right, but if alcohol is legal, marajuana should be to.
