The drug war has claimed 6,800 lives in Mexico in the past two years according to the LA times. How much longer are we going to send good people to jail just for indulging in this innocent pastime?

You cannot die from smoking too much pot at once. You can die from alcohol poisoning. In order for the most avid of smokers to quit pot only takes a little willpower since there are no physical symptoms of addiction. The biggest alcoholics can die if not properly treated while drying out. While pot does slow reaction time it does not incapacitate someone as alcohol does, yet while almost 13,000 were killed last year as a result of drunk driving. Possession of a dime bag of weed still gets you put in the pokey.

Who's fault is it really that marijuana is in the hands of organized crime? Is the DEA not busy enough intercepting cocaine and heroin that they need to busy themselves intercepting pot too?

Think of the revenues brought into organized crime by selling 1 gram of marijuana for $20 or more. Think about what our economy could gain just off of the sales tax.

Let's throw away our paranoia's about this "gateway drug" and all the other nonsense we learned watching reefer madness. It's time to legalize it and let people decide for themselves what's good for them. What happened to live free or die?

typo meant to say almost 13,000 in US.

Also bump.

couldn't hurt the economy .. might even help.

I voted yes, but I can't remember what I was voting for.

Anybody got a light?

First time I've seen someone argue for the legalization of pot by pointing out how many people get creamed by drunk drivers.
And if you've never found yourself welded to the La-Z-Boy, unable to stop that Bad Company CD from playing for the third damn time, then you've been ripped off.

Yes, mainly because some idiots in the olden days wanted political fame to tackle issues and made marijuana one of them.

It would be good for the 7'11 store when they get the munchies will help out the economy also will bring money for the city when they bust em for driving stone. I feel bad the people killed its bad enough with the drunk driver killing people now the stone driver people will be doing the same.

Come on though, I mean have you ever driven while under the influence of marijuana? I know I have, lots of different times. The impairment from marijuana is so subtle it's safer than driving while talking on a cellphone.

Look at skaters, surfers, some of those street basketball players. You know that some of these individuals are toking it up before their activities, it doesn't affect coordination as much as the propaganda wants you to believe.

Yep, legalize it and tax the crap out of it.
