Well I am not a smoker and I know what 4:20 is.  Thanks for the confidence in thinking anyone who doesn't smoke weed is stupid.

No- too many looney bins in America that would abuse it.  This is home of the freaks.  No respectful citizens- not a good place for legal weed.  Seriously- you know that wierd guy down the road?  He would come over to your house in the middle of the night and try to steal your gouda.\nGo to the Netherlands- it's legal there.

I think that itshould be legal simply because a lot of people do it now a days and they are crowding up our jails with petty things like people selling it and they are not leaving enough room for the people that actually deserve to be incarcerated, plus we are spending our tax money to feed and house them, when our neighbors smoke weed on a regular basis and have not been caught yet.  It is stupid for our pd's to spend so much time on something so petty. what they should do is legalize it and then make laws about it just like with alcohol.do I believe that smoking it is right? No, I don't. but that decision has to be left up to the individual.

thats a dumb answer, a thoughtless mindset at least.\nno, it shouldnt be legalizrd. people blame it for their personal mistakes too much already. our policies prove we are not mature enough to accept a disagreeable belief. also, its far more profitable illegal than the tax as legal. lucrative for the hands it goes through in commerce. on the legal side, it pays the lawyer (at least $500), the court & the county. the state gets more money from the fed to 'fight''crime' with more cops who need to justify their cost by finding more busts. do you feel relieved when you see a cop in your mirror or are you a bit scared? theres a reason (see aboce).\nthe benefits of cannabis sativa have been proven, it's by corrupt authority that it remains illegal. some good points are made by the other answers.

Pot dealers don't make much dough, 99.9% of them sell it to their buddies to pay for their own smoking, because you have to move hundreds of pounds to make a living with it.  It's not like coke, where you can move a single pound of it, and then buy a new car.  \n\nThe growers would lose a bit, but not as much as you'd think, even for the premium stuff, because they'd increase their yields and keep selling it. People will always pay for the convience of someone else doing it, especially for the awesome bud those folks can generate.  The growers are pretty far down on the list, it's the folks that bring it over the boarders that are the ones banking, and they'd lose out big time.  \n\nThe absolute BIGGEST losers would be the private prison companies that would lose 1000's of 'guests'.  Anything related to enforcement would be big too...however, the enforcement agents would be able to use their time arresting more violent offenders, and concentrate on people smugglers at the boarders.\n\nThe alcohol companies would be among the biggest losers.  Beer, wine and booze producers/distributors would be hit hard.  \n\nNext would be big pharma.  \n\nThe other industries wouldn't be affected to terribly much, at least in relation to the above.  \n\nHowever, Sara Lee and Hostess would see considerable gains ;-)

Let them smoke! No one every got shot up because of weed. The man would make mad bread in the legalization of Mary Jane. Little Cesar's stock would go through the roof along with Lays and Twinkies. Pot heads are too busy being paranoid, in a constant state of munchdom or founding new religions. I'm not a smoker but all my friends are. Those kids always crack me up especially when we start science projects and they are geeked out their minds!

I would vote to keep it legal.  Prohibition didn't work, neither would banning tobacco.

i think it's great, never ever hear of any1 getting stoned and going out and killing some1.  sure it probablly has some minor health disadvatages, but theses days what doesn't. anyway good luck and smoke on.  420 rules

Yes. They give you precriptions for it and it's legal if you have the papers to posess and smoke it anywhere. It is legal to posess up to 8 pounds on a interstate. It really don't matter if you have the papers or not it's pretty much legal all around there anyways. I lived in San Diego for a while and I had it on me all the time and smoked it wherever I wanted and cops just smiled and waved like it was normal

I think that people have done enough harm to make sure marijuana stays criminalized by their actions. There's a lot of people that carry the title of being a pothead as a badge of honor or whatever. One of the biggest reasons I ever laid off smoking marijuana was because I saw so much disrespect to the herb. I believe that it's the oldest healer that we have around. It has been used to help people relax, reach to a higher being of their own understanding in many Native American tribes as well as Aztecs and many other primal tribes in the world, it's also used to heal. My mother suffers from arthritis, she soaks some marijuana in rubbing alcohol, then applies an alcohol soaked rag on the part of her aching joint (no pun intended) and the pain is subdued. I think that the reason in is not criminalized id because it's an herb. People would grow it and use it to their own consumption. My only consern with that is the lack of responsibility of certain people that would use it. I know a lot of kids out there love having that whole grown-up facade and think that smoking your brain off is so cool, but they fail to see the other of side of smoking or eating marijuana, the doors it can open to your subconcious and mentality in all it's complex existence. I don't think it will be decriminalized because it really would be a hard thing to keep a tax on and if people can get away with buying it and distributing it now, they most definitely will if it's decriminalized all together.

No, maybe just people don't want to breathe in 2nd hand smoke. Smokers can go harm their own lungs no problem.

Oh please give it up and try to get something accomplished other than this useless pursuit.  The chances of getting marijuanna legalized is slim...well at least the way things are going now.  Banning smoking here and there, how things are cooked, what you can and can not say...we are in the "control your every way shape in mean for your own good" nanny state of mind now.

I could care more actually.\n\nIt's not the official pot smoking day\nIt is actually non-smoking day but someone decided it would be a good idea to make it a day to smoke weed. So now it is an unofficial holiday all over the world.\n\nNo offense to you, i usually keep to myself about it.
