And when I say legal I mean you can smoke it because you want, not only for medical purposes.

None and you are better of for it. can you imagine what it would cost if the government had their greedy little hands into the reefer jar.

Definitely.  Alcohol & tobacco cause far more problems and they are both legal.  The only reason marijuana is not legal is that the government makes too much money off of it.

Legalizing it for medical purposes would be ok.  Look at the side effects from some of the other drugs you see commercials for.  I mean what is the harm in prescription marijuana compared to percocet, methadone etc...

I bet there's nothing illegal about it. They say it's "herb" that you can smoke, they never say specifically what kind of "herb".

yes I smoke weed every day.  I love it.. and it helps me relax and meditate and just enjoy myself..\ni don't understand why it's illegal.. especially for medicinal purposes.  also, compare the effects of alcohol to the effects of marijuana. just the fact that you can be physically addicted to one and not the other.. and overdose and die on one rather than the other.. it is just amazing that alcohol can be legal

Cool finally some place in America has come to their senses.  I am a non pot smoker but it makes sense to allow small amounts if they allow liquer and tobacco.

The reason for the law (and it does not include every public area) is due to the fact that "second hand smoke" is believed to cause cancer.   I don't know where you live, but in Maryland you can still smoke in diners, clubs and bars in designated areas.  You can don't smoke in any government buildings, and most office buildings.   As for its origins in South Africa, I don't know about that.

I'm Canadian and it's legal in my Province but it is NOT sold in any stores let alone in cigarette packs so pay no attention to the person above me. Also, when you try to take it back across the border to get back to the USA be prepared to be arrested.

I have always thought it should be legal.  A lot less people would be messing up their livers with prescription meds, if they could just smoke a joint - for the many ailments it is helpful with.\n\nBesides cancer, AIDS, arthritis, etc. canibus helps with migraines, PMS, menstrual cramps, anxiety, aggression - even carpal tunnel syndrome, and any type of pain.\n\nYes, my son owns almost all rapper CDs, and it does seem that each is quite one-dimensional.

Hey, it's legal enough in the Netherlands, where I live.

Because you were honest about the fact that you smoke.

Marijuana DOES have medicinal purposes. My Mom hasn't had any complications from her liver disease from it, my Dad uses it for help with his glaucoma and my boyfriend and I both use it to help us with our chronic migraines. We don't smoke it just to feel good, but to help us because we have health problems that only marijuana can treat. That is just a stupid rumor: it is not a gateway drug. My Mom has been smoking it for 30 years and never had the temptation to use ANY other kind of drug. My Dad, boyfriend and I haven't done any other kinds of drugs either. It's a scientific fact that tetrahydracannibonol, (THC) the resin crystals on the leaf base and buds at the peak of blooming that gets you high when smoked, really does have medicinal purposes. I don't think it should be legalized to the general public, but only made available to those who need it for their ailments, like the laws already in California and Oregon. And I have never in all my life have ever heard  a story about any REAL person that died because of marijuana, and neither has my Dad, and he was a teenager in the 60's. My Mom grew up in the 70's. My boyfriend may be 20, and I'm only 17, but I am positive that I will never try another drug, and so is my boyfriend.

They can only legally sell these items if they label them as "tobacco use only." It doesn't make it ok, but it lets them get away with it.

I think that if spirits (rum, whisky...) are legal marijuana should also be legal.

I smoke it at night to relax. I have M.S. and it makes my legs feel better. I also smoke when my husband and I go out to a bar. He drives to the bar because I don't drive when I smoke. When we get to the bar I don't drink anything but soda so he can drink. Then by the time we are ready to go in a couple of hours I am totally fine and I drive home perfectly sober. This systems works well for us and we take turns.

No it is not legal for individuals.  Governments can and do do it all the time.
