There are a couple of states considering medical marijuana legislation but it probably won't work because the supremacy clause of our constitution says that federal laws override state law, and on the federal level its illegal. Even if it was legalized in those states for medical purposes it still would be legal for just anybody who wanted it to have it; you would probably have to have a terminal illness to get a prescription.

I thought only California allowed medicinal marijuana use.  Lord knows, it is all over the place in the county where I live, LEGALLY!

AGREE! of course...lol jk...idk...maybe\nIt's cool, but wat would happen if legalized?\nLegalizing marijuana would allow ppl to smoke it openly rather than hiding it. But would it bring down the number of ppl that smoke it, or would it bring it up? It does help with Gleucoma and other diseases, so I guess for "medicinal" purposes it should be legalized.\nEither way ppl will b doin it anyway, \nwhether legal or not

your chances are slim and none.what's even worse is that even if marijuana is eventually legalized it will still be on your record because it was illegal at the time.let's wake up,people,and quit wasting lives and tax dollars over prosecution of a relatively harmless weed.far less harmful than tobacco or alcohol.

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?

I don't think it should be legal, we got enough potheads in America, although I think the punishment for possession should be less serious.

Probably never.  But to amuse you, we will find peace when we find life on other planets, when we find how the universe begins and how it ends.  Dude.... just smoke pot you'll be fine, or maybe not.

If you're really talking about Hemp (NOT POT).\n\nIt may be illegal now, But.......\n\nState legislation, negotiations with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), federal lawsuits, Congressional legislation — action on industrial hemp is happening on all fronts. There's never been a more exciting time to be involved in the movement to help industrial hemp farming make a comeback as an engine of the U.S. economy.\n\nNorth Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson is prepared to be the first state official to issue regulations implementing a law that allows commercial industrial hemp farming. Johnson organized a meeting for himself and agriculture commissioners from West Virginia, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, last month with Joseph Rannazzisi, a top DEA official, and other agency representatives to discuss his plans. \n\nDEA officials told Johnson that growers, processors and importers of hemp seed would have to be separately licensed, and that the DEA would have to establish quotas for industrial hemp production and processing. \n\nIn the past, the DEA has refused to acknowledge the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana. The sole researcher who obtained a DEA permit to research industrial hemp (in Hawaii) was required to secure his crop with cyclone fencing and security guards as if it were marijuana. No one has ever obtained a DEA permit to grow industrial hemp commercially. \n\nRoger Johnson has gone further than any other state official in his work to make hemp farming a reality for North Dakota. He introduced and passed a pro-hemp resolution at NASDA, the association of state agriculture departments, and now is leading the effort to make North Dakota the first state to plant a commercial hemp crop. If Johnson is successful, he will have blazed a trail for all US farmers back to hemp farming.

Well it depends on what drugs you are talking about, I always hear people say they can't legalize marijuana because the gov can't tax it. but what they don't know is that, there use to be a tax on "pot". If you look for the marijuana tax act , you can find out alot about it. you will find out that it is illegal mostly because of race. . In Virginia, they had to grow it. people used it as money.

Denver did legalize marijuana, but Colorado did not. Since state law overrules city law, it is technically still illegal. And no there are no other states where it is legal.

How come we don't hear the USA government ranting and raving about this?  Here in Canada, whenever it is talked about decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana, the USA government gets angry and tells our government not to do that.

yes it should be legal--if alcohol is legal why not?  Do you realize the process it takes to make beer and liquor?  Pot is 100% natural...no chemicals, processing, hell it grows out in the fields--why shouldn''t it be legal....just think how much more peaceful things would be if people smoked pot instead of drinking........i can't wait for the day i can walk down the street smoking my joint rather than hiding in my house

420 is (apparently) police lingo for marijuana busts, so lots of places have marijuana/hemp festivals on 4/20 each year.
