Marijuana Debate - Daytona Beach, FL

[jd]

Does less harm than many legal drugs, does more good than many pharmeceutacals

[Tom]

Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical companies and the legal business will not allow it - they will lose to much money.

[elaygee]

yes

[Clem]

Dopeheads are just that.... dopes!

[nick mccallum]

it grows directly out of the ground and doesnt need to be chemically altered plus there are no known deaths millions die from alcohol and tobacco

[john doe]

Marijuana is a natural grown plant. Read the history of marijuana and you will learn that presidents had marijuana crops.

Only uneducated dumbasses call it "Dope." I love idiots like you that shoot off opinions without first educating youselves on the facts. "Dope" is a slang word for heroine derived from the high dopamine content which is the basis of heroine.

[Clem]

LOL... I rest my case... I love n00b's on the InterWeb that don't know how to use a Compooter.

I'll bet'cha your in College eh?

But I like this one.

[steve green]

yes make legal

[tammy]

less prisoners for senseless reasons

[blj]

i believe that it costs the government way too much money to not legalize it. there are alot of people in jail wasting money simply for smoking or selling pot. or the fact that there is alot of money that remains underground, where as if marijuana were legal more money would come up and it could be a very profitable industry.

[Krista Mulqueen]

Less crime rate and less prisoners for non-violent reasons.

[Tom]

Thats the point - the loss of all those prison jobs and the millions of dollars spent on keeping it illegal that pads the pockets of lawyers and government officials would be lost. Even with the taxes that could eliminate our national debt, those who are making the money now (including the dealers) will not give it up and as long as we live in a country of sheep --- It Ain't Gonna Happen!

[Robert]

Yes it should be legalized because the excessive amounts pouring in from mexico are causing all kinds of violence at the bortder.

[wilfred r breuer]

prohibition didn't work with alcohol and it's not working with pot. Futhermore, there is better ways to spend tax dollars than on combatting a endless war on pot smokers and did I tell you about the medical need. All self explanatory

[Hal Ross]

Shoulda been done long ago, along with prostitution. Tax both, require health tests for prostitutes, and spend time and resources on other things. Like rape, murder, and animal crulity.

[Mosconi]

Weed is not as more deadly or safer then ciggs but the monet from the sale and taxes of it would really help out

[Tom]

If legalized, regulated like alcohol and cigarettes and taxed there would be many jobs created and the gorvernment would collect lots of $$. Unfortunately, the pharmecutical companies and illegal drug cartels will fight tooth and nail to stop this by buying politicians and running deceptive ads to confuse the small minded majority in this country. The lawyers and courts will fight this also because it will cut into their cash flow also.

[rey]

i think it's a better alternative to alcohol

[Joe]

It isn't a better alternative alcohol & marajuana are still dangerous because people will drive under the influence.More than one person can get hurt, oir killed.
