do you think weed should be legalized?

Well I think cigarettes are much worse than weed. They are full of toxic chemicals like tar & nicotine. At least weed is just pure plant. Isn't it?\nAnyways, I think it could possibly be made legal but be heavily taxed to deter use. If people want to rot their brains & become semi-retarded then that's their perogative.\nI know a guy who is really stupid & has slurred speech because he smokes pot.

No, you should stay and everybody else as well, but legalized. They are going to stay any way, so why not legalize them.

son, you are not the first one to come up with it. it would be great, but we have to change how society thinks about weed not being a drug. california tried and failed. in the 90's

I would much rather see the murders caught then seeing a drug bust for marijuana.\n\nI think for harder drugs they should provide more help for possession then incarceration.  These people are addicted--not criminals.\n\nFor the dealers I believe in incarceration, counseling, education, and rehab for these people.  They should know about the lives they have ruined--by dealing to a child who OD and died.  They should deal with the consequences of their actions.\n\nI feel the system is not working well.  To many times do these addicts and dealers get out to do the same things again.

I don't think so.  there's too many people and businesses that would oppose it.  However, I do think that medicinal progress and industrial use of hemp will make small progress over the next 100 years, useage of herb for recreational purposes won't be legal and probably shouldn't be.

Weed may eventually be legalized only for medicinal uses only.  I don't think it will ever be legalized for every day personal use.  \n\nPS the Democrats are going to win in 08.  Thats just the way this country runs.

no i don't think any drugs should be legal at all, look at all the damage it does to people and their families not to mention the money spent on them.  Not even cigarettes should be legal, who wants to throw their life away or give themselves diseases.  Besides drugs only need to be taken once to kill somebody.

It should definately be legalized.  If alcohol is legal, then marijuana should be too! I don't think the death statistics for smoking a joint are near as high as the ones for alcohol.\n\nAccording to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2004, 16,694 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes - an average of one almost every half-hour. These deaths constituted approximately 39 percent of the 42,636 total traffic fatalities.

Marijuana, because it can be used to treat glaucoma patients and to alleviate certain types of pain, should be legal, provided that it does not cause uncontollable affects in the users for whom it might be prescribed.  Legalization could eliminate the abuse of this drug and the sale of it by "street pharmacists" who frequently add other dangerous chemicals to it and use unscrupilous sales tactics to dupe customers who cannot get it legally.  The fact that it is illegal makes it more tempting to some people who enjoy living on the edge.

yes, it should be legalized. if you can't get rid of it at least you should be able to control it.

As I have experienced both marijuana and alcohol I have the knowledge and first hand experience to make an educated decision.\n\nMarijuana should be legalized.  If not, then alcohol should be illegal.  You are never going to so stoned on marijuana that you will be falling over, can't walk let alone stand up, can't speak or hold a conversation, pass out not remember anything, wake up puking your guts out like on alcohol.\n\nIt has many benifits and medical uses (such as glocoma, arthritis, eating disorders, pain) and would make the government legallizing it lots of money.

Why don't we just legalize murder and fraud and robbery and rape.  Smoking Marijuana is illegal and just because millions do it desn't make it right.  Millions of people around the world supported the 911 attacks, does that make them rifght?  Crime is crime and people who commit it should be punished.  Lock up the crinials who use, grow and/or sell marijuana.

Yes, prostitution should absolutely be legalized; let local governments decide if they want it or not and handle it either through ordinances or zoning laws.  Same thing with drugs - decriminalization or outright legalization would allow governments to raise revenues that could be spent on treatments and public health action, and would take away a source of more violent criminal activity that supports these illegal trades.  There's no reason these things should be illegal, and every reason they should be legalized.

I think it should be legalized....you don't hear of people getting stoned and killing someone...whether driving or not.  Stoned people just want to chill and eat....legalize it now and start dealing with the true drug problems like meth, coke, and heroin

NO, drugs should not be legalised. Drugs are not solution to any problem nor they give any pleasure. They just drag brain from realty to illusion.

I think it is something that needs to be done.  We have all sorts of highly addictive and dangerous drugs that are legal-vicodin, percoset, oxycotin....It may take longer for it to be legalized for recreational use, but is it really any worse than alcohol?  I know of MANY more lives ruined by alcohol than marijuana.
