420 Should it really be illegal?

Who would you rather share the road with a drunk or a stoner. Potheads dont beat their wives and generally dont cause the chaos and trouble that bad alcoholics do, the only reason reefer isnt legal and alcohol is, is because the government cant tax it and there are a lot of undercover drunks in Washington.

i'ld rather be around a bunch of stoned people then drunk people.....i never met anyone who turned into an as*hole just smokin'.....so yes i think there is a difference...it will never be legal....they get more $$$$ seizing property and cash the they ever would get from taxes, just the way it is.

Could that be because it's illegal?

I've never heard of 420 being used as a code for anything in law enforcement circles. \n\nI know a lot of pot-smoking kids who like to say it is, though.

Yes, it's illegal, and I've seen things on TV talking about how the authorities are starting to get tough on that sort of thing.\n\n.

In my personal opinion, yes, it should be. I don't indulge in a personal "high", however, I don't think that it is any worse than drinking a 12 pack of beer...which is "legal"...at least if someone is "high" they normally find a way home!

Of course it is! What state statute would make it illegal?

Yes it is. If it is illegal in YOUR country then it is illegal.....period.

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

Not comletely legal...and even if it were federal law over rides states...haven't you seen the med marijauna in CA??\n\nIt's not now...but we are still working on it...\n\nThe government can't keep the lie up much longer...people know that marijuana is not nearly as harmful as they try making it out to be.\n\nI am more concerned with my son trying harder drugs than pot...in fact I would be more angry if he come home drunk than if he come home high....but I would still be pi**ed!

I think that it's absolutely pointless that it's illegal.  Prohibition didn't stop people from drinking alcohol, it only made it more dangerous for all of the people who were already drinkers.  The only reason I see for continuing to keep marijuana illegal is to supply more people with jobs in law enforcement and in the penal system.

Absolutly.  Making it illegal wastes tax dollars and ruins people's lives who have not engaged in any sort of violent crime.  Instead, they have done something very similar to drinking or smoking cigarettes, and because they have, they now face jail time, huge fines and criminal records.  It should, at the very least, be decriminalized, as the punishment would be rehab or something.  But absolutly, legalization will put drug dealers out of business (similar to the way the end of prohibition ended the mobster culture).  It would bring in more revenue, it could be regulated (and kid can tell you its easier to get pot than beer, as they don't have to show their ID to dealers), and it would free up our police to search out and get violent criminals more effectivly.

Well, very few.  \n\nAdmitting to smoking marijuana could cause those professionals to lose their jobs and livelihood.\n\nAlso, is it an addiction?  It is not physically addicting... so what are you saying?\n\nI personally think that marijuana shouldn't be illegal... however, I don't think that professionals should be stoned when practicing their profession.  Who wants a surgeon operating on them stoned?  \n\nCurrent marijuana testing cannot tell when a person is stoned or not.  It can only tell if the person had taken in marijuana at some point.

I don't believe it was illegal. Just wrong thing to do.

It should definetly be legal. i know alot of people who smoke and honestly some of them function better while high you cant say that about anyone who has been drinking! But yet drinking is legal? go figure

It is not legal, however they don't make a big deal about it as long as your not up in every ones face. Now tobacco is another story; they plan to outright ban it inside and out.
