Answer
As a veteran myself- When I first signed up for the Navy we always have in the back of our minds that we will be fine, we will come home when our time is up and in the meantime see a lot of the world and party, We were young and not much else was on our minds,
We dont realize that as one person in the military we have no real idea what the impact that we will make on ourself, or on the rest of our country, Myself at age 18 I was in the Navy, when alot of my buddies were partying dating girls, all the fun stuff that teenagers love to do, and I was standing at "Parade Rest", or marching to breakfast or "chow" at 4:30 in the morning, After all the bootcamp and schools I was assigned to a ship, Now that thought again about only being one person, but if the other "one persons" that made up the crew of the ship, if they were not there the ship would have no purpose, we made up the crew that in turn had to run and drive and maintain the ship,
When we would go on our cruise it was usually going to be about 6 months at least, so the married guys, the guys with gf's, or even those with family close by would have to tell the loved one "Good Bye" for 6 months, Imagine yourself not seeing your BF or you Folks, or your BFF and not being able to see them any or all for a least 6 months, there are times that alone can be hard to handle, In the process of that Cruise we wake up and look around and nothing but ocean all around, day in and day out, week after week Ocean all around, cut off from the rest of the world, even mail takes a bit longer, Now one thing I havent mentioned yet - Kids, they are the ones that dont understand why the parent is not home yet for weeks on end, and the parent missing the first words, the first steps, all the little things that some take for granted can mean so much to a military person half a world away, I know when I was overseas I couldnt wait to get back home during the summer so I could mow the lawn, I dont know why but I really associated that with being at Home, Hey there were times I even missed something as simple as washing dishes, I am sure each person that has served has their own little things they miss, but the one thing we all have or had in common - The United States Of America and all the wonderful people that make up the Best place in the world to live, We have such a wonderful way of life here and so many take it for granted or feel the world owes them,
Being a Veteran, my time in the military made me do things I never really wanted to do- the first of which I am very glad I did and that was GROW UP, and learn to take responsibility for my actions, another lesson learned was I am glad I dont live in one of these 3rd world countries we see in the commercials for starving children, Being in the military is a sacrifice for many people joining, but what many dont see is the sacrifice made by the gf's, wive's, and children, A Mom who has to be Mom and dad and still maintain a household,
Now I was on a ship I had it pretty well all things considered, The Veterans that are coming back from Iraq in Body Bags because they gave the Ultimate sacrifice, maybe they had kids or a wife or gf that will have the last time they held each other or spoke to hold on to as the final memory, or there are others that come home only to be confined to a bed or a wheelchair for the rest of their life, that is a sacrifice like no other, If I wasnt able to get up and do things on my own - If I had to call someone everytime I needed something because I am missing both legs, or I may still have them but I cant walk since the Humvee hit a landmine, or if I didnt have use of my arms so I could remind those I love with a hug, That would be a sacrifice, I would actually rather be dead if I couldnt hold the ones I love,
So actually the sacrifice comes in many more ways than we stop and think about, Maybe you know someone whos dad was in the military and they had to move around alot, have to make new friends every 2 or 3 years, thats another we dont stop and think about, From the Active Duty person Overseas, or the family without a parent for 6 months or 2 years till whenever they get home, the children who meet their dad after he comes home and they have no idea who he is because hes been gone so long, the sacrifices are many and made by many, But one thing they all have in Common - We do it because we Love our country and we love our Freedoms that we enjoy,
Remember, there may be a vet you know, many came home with PTSD, many more that probably had thought of or even attempted suicide for reasons we will never know, and sadly there are the ones that succeeded, I think we all go in feeling like it will never happen to us, we will be fine, But then someday the reality sets in, and that is something we can all see if we turn on the evening news and give thanks to the Veterans of the United States for all they have done and continue to do then the rest of our countr

What are some of the main arguments for those who oppose marijuana being legalized.?

Q. I'm writing a college paper on this, and honestly don't see a downside to marijuana being legalized...and I need to know to argue against it in the essay...
Marijuana does not kill brain cells. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study
So far no real arguments here. I'm just gonna make the opposition to it seem stupid, seeing that it already is, that shouldn't be hard.


Answer
They main arguments against (I do not agree with these, but they're the ones I hear most often).

-It makes people stupid
-It makes people lazy
-It will ruin society
-Crime rates will rocket
-We need to think about the kids and if it's legalized it will be easier for them to get it
-It causes medical problems
-people will start driving while stoned.
-there's no way the government could regulate it.

All of these arguments are pathetic. They all have counter arguments as well.

-There have been no tests that show conclusively that weed impairs long term brain functions or saps ambition. There are pot smokers in every industry following every career path. They obviously can't be that stupid or lazy.

-1 naturally occuring plant will not ruin society, it will actually be a boon to the economy, creating thousands of jobs and billions in taxes if legalized.

-Crime rates will actually go down. We arrest people who only deal in marijuana and those who smoke it. There are tons of crimes created by keeping it illegal (trafficking, gamg wars, robberies) that would be stopped if we legalized it.

-Kids already have easy access to it. Black market products are easier for children to get their hands on than government regulated products. In high school I could get dime bags far easier than six packs. Some kids will still get a hold of it, but they already do.

-Yes it can cause medical problems. Not as many as alcohol or tobacco, both legalized drugs in this country. It's my body, so I should be able do what I want with it. Like cigarettes it would be regulated (not in public areas, not in bars or in the workplace, etc). That way I don't harm others (second hand smoke) while I hurt myself.

-People are already driving stoned. If it were legalized I'm sure that the same rules that apply to alcohol would apply to marijuana. You wouldn't be allowed legally to drive while under the influence. Some people would break those laws, but those are the same people who are already breaking the law.

- The government could easily regulate the large majority of marijuana, just like they do with tobacco. Small local growers wouldn't survive for long, because large corporate growers would take over. We'd end up with controlled, taxed, packs of joints that would come from a national supplier. The product would be inspected by the necessary health agencies and probably have added chemicals (just like tobacco cigarrettes). Some small growers would be around with higher grade product, but they'd be higher priced, and taxed even more. People would be able to grow personall amounts, but we're a lazy society and people would rather buy it than grow it. Just like tobacco and vegetables.
