I do not think pot is innocent, pot does mess with your head, your emotions, most people smoke pot to get high for a feeling, I think that if pot is legalized there is going to be some major problems, it slows your reaction time down what about when your driving let me tell you a story i think i was probably 16 me and a friend of mine was going to her work to pick up her check and we got into an accident because we were high as she pulled into the parking lot she hit a car that was coming out no one was hurt but we got into trouble. lesson learned for me but not for her she no longer has a license due to dui

err so does alcohol, and to a much greater extent.  Solution?  Keep it illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana...

When you smoke weed, you shouldn't drive, as you shouldn't when you drink alcohol. You say weed slows your reaction time, so does alcohol. In my opinion, alcohol is worse. When you get drunk, you go dumb, body and mind, and sometimes can't remember the last night. When does that happen with weed?

Pot is like alcohol. If used in moderation, it is beneficial. It even has medicinal uses. When my brother was having chemo and tossing his cookies every couple of hours, he got a prescription for pot. Although he could only use it when he was not planning to leave home for at least a couple of hours, it helped to quell the nausea and allow him to sleep and keep down enough food to be able to work the next day. There's an anti-nausea patch that works better, but his insurance company wouldn't cover it until the last few months of chemo, so THANK GOD for that godawful-smelling weed!! Let people smoke as much as they like, so long as they do it far away from me.

I think it should be legal also, shoot.....  pretty soon it will be cheaper than buying tobacco.

I personally don't use myself, but I see nothing wrong with it. It is natural, from the earth. I think the whole problem with our society is we were founded by a bunch of uptight "pilgrims" running from the "loose" morals of England. I won't even get started on that though. I think people need to loosen up & become more tolerant of each other. Everyone is different, we all have different ideas & lifestyles. Just let people be who God created them to be! Pot will be legal eventually, then the police will have to find something else to go after the average Joe for!!!

=/ Among the Puritan settlements, cultivation of hemp was mandatory.  Both the Connecticut and Massachusetts courts mandated that every family plant at least one teaspoon of hemp.  Many colonies passed numerous laws that placed incentives on growing hemp.  Virginia designed laws that fined farmers who did not grow hemp.  Lobbyists promoted the growing of hemp and books were published that promoted the idea of making marijuana America's staple product.  Up to and during the Revolutionary War, hemp production was vastly increased and promoted by the colonial governments.  This is just the tip of the iceberg.

It would appear the settlers of this country were much more open to the idea of marijuana than the government is today.  I don't think they're to blame at all nor do they seem "uptight" given the history we have on them.

It was eventually made illegal because cotton farmers that feared hemp would overtake them (as it likely should have) and run them out of business lobbied heavily against it.  Along with propaganda, false journalism, racism (against both Mexicans and blacks), and xenophobia playing roles.  It has remained illegal because of propaganda and a false hysteria surrounding it.

actually i think pot should be legalized it would bring it lots of revenus for the governments

[rebmagnolia]

There are so many worse things than POT out there.  I think the Gov veto it because they do not have a monopoly on it.

Boy did you ever hit the nail on the head.

[rebmagnolia]

i don't think that there is anything wrong with pot. just as long as you don't do something you will regret after you smoke it

That's the great thing about pot.....you don't do things you'll regret.  If anything, smoking pot will probably stop you from doing something.....LOL!!!!

Except it makes no sense.  We live in a fairly capitalistic country with a government that promotes competition among private corporations.  There are thousands of corporations that are legal that the government doesn't have a monopoly on.
