Gay marriage.

Drinking age should be reduced to 18. If I can go and die for my country, I should be able to make a toast to it.

Nothing really, but if you'd really push the issue.

Polygamy.

I'm not sure why, but polygamy.

In Montana, seven or more Indians are considered a raiding or war party and it is legal to shoot them.

Prostitution ? - yes, I agree with you.

Canabis (here I go again); if a teenager starts using canabis at a young age, then there is brain damage. I am sorry, but it is the truth.

The fact that tobacco and Alcohol are bad for us does not automatically give us the right to legalise a substance that has inherrent dangers. Two wrongs don't make a right".

Gay marriage, I agreee with you whole heartedly. Alcohol ? well I have already made my thoughts known on that; I wish I had never touched alcohol. It is seen as a social "O.K", whilst, in reality it is the cause of much domestic violence, and damage to people's bodies.

Yes. Also legalize:

1. Professionally assisted suicides.
2. Same-sex marriages.

Gay Marriage, Polygamous Marriage, Marijuana, Prosititution, and most other "victimless" crimes.


I also think all disabled people and their carers should be issued a free taser and the legal right to use it to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Yeah, and you know something, it's easier now for a kid to get a bag of grass outside his high school than it is to get a six pack, or a carton of Salems. See, drug dealers aren't checking ID's.
Damage from use of cannabis only occurs when a person's nervous system is still developing, but the same can be said for all other mind altering substances, including the three legal ones, and when compared to cannabis, they do signifigantly more harm accross the board.
Yes, even if you regulate it like cigarettes and alcohol there will be some kids who go and get it, but the benefits far outweigh the risk. Would you say that even if the legalization of cannabis could be a huge step forward in the threatment of cancers and AIDS, and it would clear our overstuffed prisons of victimless criminals and destroy the black market for weed that we shouldn't do it because some kids will get thier older brother to go to 7/11 and buy them a pack?
http://www.webmd.com/content/article/70/80972.htm

Besides, what controlled research has been done on the effects of it on children and teens? As far as I was aware, the only medical/scintific studies that were done were done on adults and animals. You need to be very cautious where you get your sources, plenty of places that seem reputable are 100% not above making up something that sounds like it could be true to further the drug propaganda campaign.
