Clearly you are searching for answers but aren't really interested in finding any. Just my 5 cents worth. Nice pics.

]]> Comment on Criminalize Christianity by yael http://www.mindinclined.com/2007/07/03/criminalize-christianity/#comment-297 yael Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:38:06 +0000 http://www.mindinclined.com/2007/07/03/criminalize-christianity/#comment-297 another interesting thing is the causal relationship aspect...like saying 80% of prisoners are followers of Christianity...to me that does not seem like a logical argument for the criminalization of Christianity because it does not prove that the religion caused the criminal behavior. And then there is the fact that there is no proof that marijuana causes societal ills. Like you said, both are associated with damage to society, but one is criminalized while another is celebrated and given privilege in society.

Practically speaking, its a big fucking challenge. That, however, has no bearing on whether it should or should be legalized. I'm not restricting legalization to one place or another. I think that the (near) global ban should be lifted. In that case, organized crime gets cut right out of the mix. That said, I think that the overall benefit will far outweigh any possible 'irresponsible intoxication'. In fact I would go even further to other drugs as well (but thats another subject). My guess is that the vast majority of organized crime is funded by illegal drugs, particularly marijuana in Canada. Add to that the benefits of more financial resources (from prison spending, taxation, and enforcement), the ability to use the police force more efficiently for violent crimes, and quite possibly a reduction in alcohol consumption (There is some research to suggest this possibility). I find it very hard to buy the argument that the risk of irresponsible marijuana consumption somehow outweighs those benefits.
