Is this people's big issue? I say we try and help people who don't have jobs and can't feed their families. Or help people with the whole health care situation. Not focus on people who want to get high.

It is a big issue. Focusing on people getting high will create jobs so they unemployed can feed their families. It would also reduce a truckload of crime if our gov't is regulating it rather than armed criminals. A major reason it's illegal is because pharmaceutical companies would lose a lot of money since mj can blur the pain of an individual.

I do not think the drug should be legalized in all 50 states because it takes the user out of reality.  Mind altering drugs are dangerous to all involved because the user cannot function rationally while using or being addicted to them.  Also, this is a huge funder for terriorist organizations.  I believe legalizing it would only increase production and income for them.  All factors taken into account, this definitely does not promote the common good.

Yes, it should be legalized.  Too any good benefits could come from the commercializm of cannibus.  Who knows, they may even be able to find some hidden alternative energy source!!

It does not really take you out of reality and I have seen plenty of people function rationally (in both a heightened or lazy sense). You cannot get addicted to marijuana.

Also, this is a huge funder for terriorist organizations.

Umm...legalizing it would cut their funding.

You're aware that booze and cigs are legal, right? Both of these are really bad sources of addiction and health problems. Marijuana is neither.

Interesting! Never thought about that. Hemp is a strong material, but expending it in a vehicle tank would get everyone high! lol

My vote would be for not making in legal however if there was some medicinal value for those with terminal diseases then I probably would support it as a prescription drug. I'm sure sure some of the prescription drugs that are currently available can be as mind altering.

Has someone been watching Cheech and Chong?  lol

My coworker asks me that all the time. And we're not even talking about drugs.

The problem here is that in this cannabis the active substance isn’t THC but some chemical formula with the same effects as THC and sometimes much stronger. There are even cases where people die from an overdose which is not possible with normal THC.
I believe that we have to protect people from this stuff but that isn’t easy because these chemical components are not prohibited. Even when they change the law and such a chemical formula is forbidden, the producents only have to change the structure a little bit so they are always one step ahead on the legal system.
Because of all these different formula’s an effective saliva test is not possible so users can not get caught.

If you want to save people from "harmful" stuff, you had better get a bigger shovel.  Alcohol causes more problems in our nation than any other drug out there.

i think it should... if the govt would tax it like they do cigs we would be out of debt in prob a couple yrs

[tlynn23]

If that is tha case, people get addicted to dranks and coke. Weeds; ppl think it's a drug. But it is a plant and you can grow it. Then you can smoke it. Ppl get high ever day. When you are in pain you get drugs to help tha pain, if you keep taking it, it can also be addictive. But what am I to say: Trust if tha 50 states can find away 2 taxes it. It will be legal and everybody would smoke. You would be surpise who smokes around you. The fact that you can get THC (WEED) in so many ways.... YOu would never know what you are drinking nor eating... They have it in cooking oil, foods and damn near anything you can think of.... It is just a matter of time people...

I think out economy would get a boost if it was legal, but the cartels in mexico would go on a killing spree, because they would loose some of their power!!!

Of course it should be legal.  I don't do it, but that's a choice. I wouldn't do it if it were legal.  This isn't some meth lab drug where you don't know what's in it. it grows in the ground.  It's not like if it were legal the whole country would become a Pauly Shore movie.  A company can still make you test negative for it.  I doubt people that don't smoke are afraid of legal consequences. 

Here is the thing pot heads... I don't want you driving on it. So you gotta give up some privacy to make it legal.  You get busted driving high, you gotta fill a cup with pee on the side of the road. ROW AD... Road...
Legalize it! Give the Police more time to write tickets for going 3mph over the speed limit.
