because I believe that everyone should be aware that Weed, Marijuana, Ganja, Mary Jane, Whacky Tobaccy, 7 Leaf Cross or whatever you may call it...is a harmless plant. Even when used to 'get high' it's harmless and, to be fair, that use should be the users choice. (If ever new evidence is found to the contrary, I'll gladly update my views to reflect it, however undeniable proof must be exhibited and I still bet whatever problem it causes is less severe than those of tobacco.)
If it were legal there would be fewer dealers(Using Holland as an example: all of the dealers are licensed, so it takes away the street risk of not knowing what you're buying. A plus side if I ever heard one.) and cheaper prices (due to a decreased risk in possessing the substance) and therefore, less crime to steal the money to buy it, less trying to hide it, and overtime, a lot less controversy. Kind of like an Equal Rights movement.

Exactly, you can feel free to repost this too if you'd like. They banned the FA group called "Ganja Army" that allowed you to show support for it, but I'm posting it as my featured submission until a better idea comes along. Making another group would only end up in it getting banned again. It's still not out of the realms though.
They say the reason for it is to protect the users' freedom... Which in some cases may be true... Not freedom in the sense of allowing us to have the ability to express ourselves, but, keeping some... Prying eyes from doing harm to us.
I can see their reasoning, from... A paranoid standpoint... But that's about the only reason for them taking such drastic measures.

It's ridiculous to criminalize drugs. Utterly ridiculous, particularly when cigarettes and alcohol abuse run rampant.
Ecstacy was legal until 1985, for instance. Which is a shame, because it is a great therapeutic drug, particularly in psychiatry. Prohibition didn't work with alcohol, and alcohol ruins more lives and is more dangerous than marijuana is, or ever will be.

This, I agree with!
Regardless of the effects of any drugs, good or bad, it should ultimately be up to the individual on what he puts into his or her own body. If Cocaine, Heroine, LSD, peyote, shrooms, ketamine, ecstasy, etc. are illegal then alcohol and tobacco DEFINITELY should be as well! Though as history's showed, prohibition doesn't work, all it does is create a black market for shady people to make a living on, fucking over others and creating violence. As far as the effects of a drug, if a person can't handle them responsibly and ends up doing something stupid while under the influence, say like driving a car into someone else, or walking out into traffic, or whatever, they should be prosecuted for the act itself, not place the blame on something which isn't sentient therefore can't be morally reprehensible. Of course, people who've had family members lives ruined by such substances don't see it that way, as they feel it's their moral responsibility to inhibit something that their idiot relatives were clearly to irresponsible to use, therefore fucking over everyone else including those who actually ARE responsible with the drug! How much more of the raping of the Constitution are people gonna put up with...? Until we become a corporate police-state, probably. I guess security is far more important to some people than freedom is, to which I quote "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
...Anyways, good job!
