Medicinally of coarse, we're way past due for that, prescription companys have a lot of more harmful legal drugs out there. As far as recreationally, sure! It's no worse than alcohol or tobacco, in fact better in my opinion. It's not like we're gonna stop ppl from getting it.

if it were leagel u would take all the fun and money from all the drug cartels and what would thay have to do ?

[anastacia]

Weed isn't really bad like cigarettes are. And everyone does it anyways so why not legalize it.?

[Lol]

someone wrote:

i dont think it should been legi- because although ppl havent killd other ppl driving high off their ass. its still effects ppl. like i read in the newyork paper on the internet this guy raped his own lil sister, and he said he didnt mknow wut he was doinn cuz he was high on marijuana. so even though its not 100% like other drugs or alco, it effect ppl even tha littiest. what if it hapnd to u and they didnt do anything to the persoon jus because weed is legal. then ur gona be sayn "they should of never legalized it. they should'nt legalize it jus so these dum ass potheads can get high and not get in trouble. DON'T LEGALIZE MARIJUANA.

You're an idiot. You can't spell for one and for two you clearly have no understanding of weed. Nobody can sit there and blame a rape on being high. Being high doesn't affect your ability to know right from wrong. It doesn't make it so you can't control yourself and it certainly doesn't make it so you "have no idea what you're doing". Plenty of people, including myself smoke daily. I work go to school and live a normal life. Never have I done somethig I "didn't know I was doing" while I was high. So whoever wrote the article you read was an idiot, and congratulations you're an even bigger one for believing what it Said.

Marijuana should be legalized by the way. There's no reason it shouldn't.

[Soggybottom]

This shouldn't even be an issue...

It's god's gift to us.

I gave up alcohol 13 years ago with the help of marijuana. I could have never done it without it. Its time to legalize it and stop putting people in prison for it. We will save alot of money on prisons and alot of people will decrease their alcohol consumption also saving their livers. People can also get off narcotics using marijuana for pain. Marijuana is Alot less harmful to the body than narcotics. Stop wasting our tax dollars on a drug war that cannot be won.

Its better then drinking if your high you will look at the light if your drunk you will drive right threw it

I have stage 2 bipolar and when I smoke marijuana I just feel so calm and I am just a better person over all.

[john doe]

Yes to many people are getting hooked on the fake weed which is bad news and it can cause major health problems studies say

[gino b]

marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or other drigs, and should be legalized for persons over 21. I would just make sure that children or anyone under 21 cannot buy or use it,and that the laws for driving stoned on pot are enforced.

[olddogs1964]

you smoke pot and get high but smoking it makes you want to get much higher right ? so then u start looking for other drugs to get ur self higher right ? then u find that and then what u just had wont get u any higher so you go out and get a driffrant drug that will take you to that leavel don,t u . ok then smoking pot is a gate way drug for other drugs so there u go it makes u want more and it should not be legal at all
