for it. I think that if legalized it will help cut down on drug crime. and if it were legalized yyou would at least know what quality you are getting, which is iffy from dealers. and if it were legal, lots would probobly not want to do it because it would lose the appeal of doing something that you should not be doing. besides, it could be a great cash crop. this question makes me think of dazed and confused....  oh the memories..

Theres nothing wrong with weed. \n\n Its feared for no good reasons other than its illegl.  And that doesnt mean much more than whatever the gov wants it to mean.  there are plenty of things that were illegal at one time and are accepted now so legality doesnt mean bad.\n\nThe only problem with it, and with any other thing is if it becomes a problem.  If it effects their life in negative ways.  I smoke and my grades are fine, my friends (who smoke and dont smoke) are all still cool with me as their friend.

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

Yes. \nWhy?\nIt is relaxing. \nI have never felt the desire to use any other drugs, and I don't. Even after using marijuana for a number of years.  Here in California, where lots of people use it, people know it's not a bad drug. That is why we have voted to allow medical marijuana.  \nI used to drink, but that got me in lots of trouble, and the occasional fight. Marijuana has never got me in trouble. \nPeople use marijuana to fight pain, as it is a relaxing drug, and they are criminals.  The legal route is to get perscribed a pain killer, which people become addicted to in less than a month.   I have numerous friends who have been to rehab for pain pills, none for marijuana. \nMarijuana has been used as medicine for thousands of years.  In India, they went as far as to diefy marijuana.  It still grows free in the hills of India, where workers have ganga (marijuana) breaks instead of coffee breaks.  \nINSTEAD OF SAYING NO, HOW ABOUT SOME REASONS.\nI would put more but I am a college student and have to go take an exam.\n\nTo the person who says it is deadlier than most substances available, BS! Crack cocaine, meth will kill you. Marijuana will not.   I know people that have been smoking for 35+ years and are active athletes.  Ciggarette smokers develop many health conditions because of the number of ciggarettes they smoke.  I smoke the equivalent of less than one marijuana ciggarette a day.  Additionally, marijuana can be eaten, which negates the lung problem.  It can also be vaporized to reduce toxins which are byproducts of the burning of material.

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...

Where i  live in BC Canada, it is decrimanalized, and i think it is great. Doctors can also prescribe it. You are allowed to have 3 plants for your own personal use and to carry an ounce on you (more is considered selling, and that is illegal).  The worst the cops can do is take it away. \n\nIt works great because this means are jails aren't over crowded with peaceful stoners, but have room for actual criminals.\n\nI almost prefer this to having it legalized cause i really wouldn't want the government controlling it and putting who knows what in it.

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

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.

Marijuana should be legalized.  \nTax it.  \nRequire a special license to buy it.  In order to get the license you would have to be a certain age and sign a waiver that you can't receive taxpayer funded services if you get addicted to other drugs or contact lung cancer.\n\nRequire them to disclose the fact that they have the license for job applications.  Where else are we going to get Fast Food Fry Cooks in the future?\n\nWhy not do this for other drugs.  Cigarettes.  Alcohol?  Maybe if people had to accept responsibility for what the drugs could do to their system maybe they would think before ingesting them.

As you probably know, I would choose to legalize POT. I see no harm in smoking one after work instead of drinking one. What the fuck why is pot so wrong and alcohol so right?

The federal government has repeatedly forbidden any states to decriminalize the sale or use of marijuana, as in California a few years back when some folks decided it would be a good thing if people suffering from AIDS or cancer treatment drugs could legally take a few tokes so that they might not feel quite so miserable every minute of every day, but the Fed said "Hell no you don't" and that's still the general consensus to this day. I doubt that I will see the decriminalization of pot in this country in my lifetime.

Yes I believe it should be legalized, because in relation to other drugs that are currently legal, the deleterious effects of marijuana simply don’t compare. I think the distribution of it should be controlled as to where it can be smoked, and who is licensed to sell it.

have rethought my position on legalization of marijuana. I think it should be legal under certain guidelines and locals.\n\nThe first reason it should be legalized it will mellow out the liberals. They are way to shrill.\n\nReason number two, if a liberal is high they won't care about voting and we can easily elect conservative representative, congressmen, and president. Conservatives will never again have to deal with R.I.N.O.s if this happens. Imagine if there was no Arlen Spector or John McCain.\n\nReason Three assuming that only liberals and libertarians are for the legalization of drugs they can fight amongst themselves, and we conservatives have a way to sure up our power\n\nThe Previsos\n\nmarijuana would only be legal in Blue States. If you are caught with marijuana in a red state you get a trial and immediately executed after the trial, no appeals. The reason for this is to get potheads out of here and since it seams as if the Blue states want to legalize it let them.\n\nIf someone who is high robs, steals, or causes an accident after THC is detected in their system ALL their possessions become the property of the estate of the victim. (applies to all fifty)\n\nIf they have children, the children are removed from the home and are never returned (applies to all fifty)\n\nThe only treatment for those who want to quit smoking marijuana will be the intake of tobacco products, or beaten with a bong. Paid for by the offender (the way they train dogs not to make messes on carpets) Again all fifty.\n\nIf this works for marijuana I would propose the same for all illicit drugs. But no one would accept this proposal so I will have to continue my opposition to this and ALL illegal drugs.

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.

I think weed ought to be legal, the government could tax it and take all the money their spending on fighting marijuana and dump it into fighting the REAL drugs out there.

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.
