I think it should be decriminalized.  Marijuana is so much safer than alcohol and tobacco!  And I've never seen a violent pothead!  Think of how much revenue would be generated if it were legalized, and taxed!  Not to mention the savings.  Prisons would be less populated, police could spend more time on things that REALLY matter (you know, murder, other "hardcore" drugs).  I have always been for the legalization of marijuana.  But a lot of jobs may be lost as well (law enforcement).  The "war on drugs" is a big business, and we're just little pee-ons, so what we think doesn't matter anyway.

i believe that it is a crime everywhere (federal law, and upheld by the supreme court) to have anything dealing with a marijuana plant in your possession, and also paraphanalia.  interestingly enough, in most places, it isnt illegal to actually smoke it, except if you are driving.

Marijuana is the least toxic drug there is. That includes smoking and alcohal which are both legal and I believe far more dangerous. I think there should be limits on when and where you can have it of course,but I think it should be legalized. The only reason it isn't already is because the Government hasn't found a way to tax the hell out of it yet.

It's more addictive than alcohol, but I'm not too keen on alcohol either.  I say that because recent research has shown that more people ADMIT THEMSELVES for marijuana treatment now than for alcohol!  Why do they say "it's not addictive?"  It's making a fine distinction.  Weed is not PHYSICALLY addictive, but it is for dmn sure PSYCHOLOGICALLY addictive.  The new info just shows how ignorant we are about psychoactive substances.\n\nThe point in making it illegal is to, as much as possible, prevent it from reaching children.  The impact it has on children bad.  Although not terribly well-understood, new streams of evidence are consistently bad.  One of the impacts with the most evidence is asthma and diabetes.  Less evidence, but highly probable is a correlation between marijuana use and the onset of paranoid schizophrenia.\n\nThere is a long list of other negative side effects.\n\nNow on a personal level, I don't really care if you shot yourself in the head, ate lead, or drank mercury, but I am angry about irresponsible parents and I am concerned that marijuana use impairs driving and judgement (people lie and say it doesn't, but slowing reaction time IS impairing driving ability).  So weed is illegal because it is a safety hazard based on the belief in the ignorance and irresponsibility of the greater mass of humanity.

Marijuana is constantly in the news and more and more scientific evidence is pointing towards its use causing serious and permanent psychologically damage.\n\nOk!\n\nHow many people die from smoking cigarettes or from drinking themselves to death or other when these idiots try and drive etc?\n\nExcellent question!  \n\nAll three have very, very detrimental effects on our health and the health of others around us and it seems insane to 'point the finger' only at marijuana.\n\nAt the end of the day its your informed choice.\n\nRespect other, but do as you please!

I have personally seen the positive results of marijuana therapy for a person undergoing radiation/chemotherapy treatments.  There are undoubtedly many who would benefit from using pot as a medicine, and I think it ridiculous that we enforce a law which prevents these persons from getting the help they so often are in need of.  Is it that dangerous as compared with alcohol, which is legal?  And if it were legal, do you really believe "every" kid and teenager would use it?  (As one person replied earlier) I SAY NO WAY. Let's make it legal for medicinal and many other uses, such as a building material and/or renewable energy resource!

I definately think that marijuana should be legalized for medicinal use.  By legalizing it for medical use, it's not as if it would be street legal.  Not only would it help cancer patients such as your friend, but many other people who suffer from many other ailments, MS, ADD, ADHD, just to name a few.  I most definately think it should be lealized.

Yes, marijuana should be legalized.  If you were to put the stats together, you would see that many, many more rapes, murders, thefts, assaults, fatal car crashes, deadly occupational accidents, and various other crimes have been committed under the influence of alcohol.  Recently, a young man was arrested for murdering his mother. His line of defense was that he was under the influence of Marijuana.  Marijuana does not make one aggressive in the least. Anyone that does or has smoked will testify to that. Marijuana has a relaxing effect, not to mention its medicinal benefits.  As for prostitution, it should also be legalized. It is THE oldest profession in the WORLD. You cannot put a restriction on ones body.  The only way to stop it would be to eliminate one of the sexes. Just my guess, but there would probably be a drop in sex crimes and sexually transmitted diseases if prostitution were to become legal.  THE ONLY REASON NEITHER OF THESE THINGS ARE LEGAL, IS BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT CANT FIGURE A WAY TO CONTROL OR TAX THEM. (Like cigarettes and alcohol. Which by the way is two very high contributors to our mortality rate here in America.)  Hence the war against them.

I think mainly the overuse of marijuana causes depression. It is a depressant, but thats like alcohol too, that causes depression but you'd hardly be aware of it if you didnt use it all of the time (like daily)

Weed will not kill you\nWeed will not kill other plants.\nWeed does not make you go crazy.\nWeed does not have any hallucinogenic effects.\nWeed is not that bad overall.\nWeed is, however, considered a gateway to harder drugs.\nThere are many of you reading this and other statements like this that are asying to yourselves, "I smoke weed and I don't do any harder drugs".  But there are also many of you that have been there.  You once said, "The weed didn't hurt me.  This Meth (or Heroin, or Cocaine:whatever it may have been) won't hurt me either.  And I know better than to get addicted to anything.  It's just for fun." \nAnd, because it does cloud your judgment and put a damper on your reflexes and motor skills, much the same way that drinking alcohol does, our government has deemed it illegal.\nThe fact that it is illegal is just about the only thing that makes it "so bad".  \nWeed actually has some very good uses.  As I'm sure you all know, it reduces pain and nausea in terminally ill patients.\nAnd although it hasn't been scientifically tested, in some people with ADHD or ADD or depression, it has helped them to focus.  I have personally seen people with these diseases that smokes weed and they were able to make good grades in school, stay out of trouble, and become more successful in life.\nFor people who cannot control their minds, the weed slows down the thought processes and allows them to think more clearly about one thing at a time.\nI am not totally on one side or the other when it comes to legalizing it.  There are those that should very well be able to get tit for medical reasons and cannot.  And there are those that would abuse it just like alcohol.  \nI do, on the other hand, feel that if they were to legalize it, that they should put an age limit, 21 maybe, on it, just like alcohol.

I'm french and it's not legalized here too.\nWe have the same questions here sometimes.\n\nI don't think that's it's a good idea to legalized it.\n\nI took lot of that stuff and I can say that it was causing troubles in my life, in my body and my psy...\n\nSo I think it's still a drug... not the badest for the health, but a bad one...\n\nMore, if it will be legalized, I guess that we will have more problems (like alcool problems) in lot of family's and houses...\nSo, I hope it will still be not legalized...

No, marijuana should not be legalized, but it should be decriminalized, like the rest of the world has done. Why make criminals out of pot heads? Answer: to take everyone's rights away.\n\nBecause of a little marijuana, they can seize your car, your bank accounts, your possessions; just load it all up and take it away, and redistribute your wealth elsewhere. That is forbidden by the Contitution.\n\nBecause of a little marijuana, they can search every crack and crevice of your body, search your car, gain access to open land, spy on you, record your messages, and start a dosier on you. \n\nIf they smell marijuana, good luck. But all they have to do is "say" they smelled marijuana, and all of the above applies.\n\nBecause of a little marijuana, they can give you more jail time than bank robbers, rapists, and even murderers, especially if the Fed gets involved, and they have filled their jails to overflowing and can't build them fast enough. And this is one of the most important reasons of all to decriminalize marijuana, is to get the Fed the hell outa here, and to stop the growth rate of the prison industry.\n\nBecause of a little marijuana, you want more marijuana. It is not addictive, but it is psychologically addictive. You spend a good part of your life high, or coming down, and the parties are for hours. Then you spend hours driving around looking for it and smoking more. Then you have to get some more money to pay for it. \n\nYou can spend an inordinate amount of your time "wasted," and watching life go by, or you can kick the drugs and get "in" life and live it, experience it, effect it, gain from it, experience joy and fulfillment and happiness, or you can sit on the couch and seek pleasure that fades after the last toke. \n\nBecause of a little marijuana, you will be lethargic and not do well in school, if you go at all. And probably because of marijuana, you will not succeed in life. It will choose your friends, it will choose your music, it will choose where you go, and you will live your life for a worthless lie called a drug.

lol...you just wanna smoke....but jokes a side I agree....sadly Marijuana has to major enemies...namely the Alcohol and Tobacco industries.....in fact those 2 substances are proven that they WILL KILL YOU and yet they are perfectly legal to take.....it is big business......just to see how potent this issue is.....for example if the state of California legalized and took control over the distribution of marijuana it would solve their financial problems in one stroke!
