drinking is a vice, gambling is a vice. there is no reason to stop people from doing these things. obviously, in excess, these things are bad. but they don't implicitly create a dependence, unlike many drugs.
and obviously there all the historical reasons. before, you were not a man unless you smoked and gambled and drank. these were the social vices associated with the upper class, and by extension the makers of law. these three things were what the rich did to pass the time. they were legal because not everyone would do them. only those that could afford it. but now, with everyone gaining access to eerything at low costs and such. it causes problems. anyhoo...
i dunno. i think that even many drugs should be legal, and that moderation is the key. but keeping something unavailable for so long creates a desire. and legalising drugs now would cause a crazy surge in their use and in consequence a crazy surge in the problems related to their usage.

de plus, si une drogue (comme le pot) est legalisee, des groupes se formeront et demanderaient, pourquoi pas la e, ou les amphetamines, ou les barbiturates. ca s'amplifierait. le pot serait certainement une drogue legalisable, elle ne cause pas d'effets (trops) negatifs sur le corps et les accidents qui y sont relies sont bien moins que ceux associes a l'abus d'alcool. mais a qui de faire cette decision de legaliser une droge mais pas l'autre. ca ouvrirait des portes que nous ne sommes pas a l'issu de fermer en ce moment.

marie poppins.. mo dernier post n'etait pas dirige vers toi. je n'avais pas vu que d'autres posts avaient ete faits.
quoi de plus, tu n'est pas une des 'french-deficient reader' plutot tu es unes des plus 'french proficient readers' sur ce forum. je comprends tous tes posts (ce que je ne peux pas dire de beaucoup des autres posters francais)

puis pour repondre a ta question.
je n'ai pas de reponse definitive pour toi. ce que je pourrais suggerer est que le gouvernement (qui ne fait pas des decisions basees sur rien) a fait quleque sorte d'etude et a conclu que la legalisation de ces autres drogues, causerait des effets plus serieux que ceux causes par les drogues qui sont legales en ce moment. c'est a dire que si la e etait legale, les effets negatifs sur la population seraient plus severes que ceux de l'alcool ou les cigarettes. il faut savoir que si la e etait legale, des personnes l'essaieraient sans trop y penser just pour savoir de quoi ca a l'air, et cela pourrait causer des choses terribles. la e est une drogue tres volatile, les effets ne sont (pour la plupart) pas toujours pareils.
mais en fin de compte, je n'ai pas vraiment une raison definitive a te donner.

ugh...
think about what you're going to write before writing it please.
im tired of reading ridiculous posts

to reiterate my last post for those french-deficient readers:
it's because they are legal that alcohol and cigarettes have probelms associated to them. if pot or e were legal, their consumption would be much greater and teh problems associated to them would be just as great (if not greater) than those associated with alcohol and cigs. everyone has access to alcohol and cigs and gambling, if everyone had access to hard drugs, there would certainly be more problems associated with these.

c'est a cuase qu'ils sont legaux qu'il y a des problemes associes. si le pot ou la e etaient legaux, leur consommation serait BEACUOP plus repandue et les problemes qui s'y associeront seront probablement egaux a ceux associes a l'alcool. tout le monde a acces a l'alcool et au cigarettes et au gambling. si tout le monde avait acces a toutes les drogues, il y aurait certainement beaucoup plus de problemes avec ceux-ci.

oh yeah.. because 'harder' drugs make people smarter....

no.. you try telling the diffenrece between 25mg and 50mg
homo

you have 10 pill bottles filled with 10 pills each
all the pills weigh the same
except one pill bottle has contaminated pills that weigh twice as much as the others.. you have 1 (and only one) use of a scale
how can you tell which bottle has the contaminated pills in it.

(this ones an oldie)

ambulances dont put out fires

the roads we travel on (while not in the best shape) we natural asphalt formations... nobody built those.. our schools too.. imagine the crazy lava flows that had to go around for our schools to have hardened from PURE lava!!! wow!!
and all those computers and the big rooms.. its incredible how mother nature works...
man.. and dont get me started on those hospitals... i never knew that plants could naturally crush themselves up and genetically modify themselves and then thrown themselves into containers and into magically grown IVs to help keep us healthy..
GOD mother nature rocks!!
the government CERTAINLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL THAT. nothing at all..
lets all praise jesus.

What's happening on McKay street? The whole street is blocked off and there's about 10 ambulances, 4 firetrucks, and 20 cop cars.
Nobody around school seems to know what's going on.

April Fool's (2 days late)

A black guy just moved in next door. They spread like rust.

During the opening ceremony, Ice-T joking "popped a cap" into Mike B. ass and was subsequently shot repeatedly by the secret service. Later that day, News crews at the scene sold the footage on eBay. It is now the number 1 requested video on MTV.

it was a newspaper from denmark that printed the first "Mohamed insulting cartoon"
