i think they should

People would smoke it all the time otherwise so u no

they should my parents caught me rollin a j and now im in trouble 🙁 🙁

Yes with doc permission. Because if it were legal overall the punks would all steal my munchies.

i think if people really need it for health reasons but not for little chavs to sit round on the dole smoking it no

It should be put on the same par as alcohol.

Legalize it so we can tax it and put criminals out of business.

Personally, I hate the stuff, but legalize it for people over 18 since that only makes sense.

Legalize it but tax it. It will prevent so much of a black market, help the economy, and make the people happy.

The tax would need to be high enough to give non smokers enough of a benefit to equal the negative experience of living within a smokers society.

In this way everybody wins.

It is actually a very interesting concept economically. Look up ‘Externalities’, which is basically teh study of such ideas.

It should be fully legalized. Anyone who is against the legalization of marijuana is brainwashed by the government and society into thinking that weed is bad for you, when there’s no actual evidence to back that up and millions of people live stoned for nice, healthy long lives without health or mental consequence.

and no it’s not a weird question, it’s been in the fucking news like every day now

Yes, I believe it should be. The cannabis plant has hundreds of practical uses that could help our economy, and medicinal marijuana has an incredible amount of healing properties, not to mention pain relieving uses. I personally think it should be completely legalized, but I would be happy if it were just medically recognized. Marijuana has never killed anybody, while prescription medications (like pain relievers) cause addiction and death every year. Even over the counter medications cause fatalities. It’s just a travesty that alcohol and tobacco are legal when they take hundreds of thousands of lives every year…sigh.

EDIT: As we all know, prohibition simply doesn’t work. It’s not like nobody smokes weed cause it’s illegal. It didn’t work with alcohol, it won’t work for marijuana. The least we can do it put an end to the illegal activity and dangerous drug wars that the ban on marijuana has brought us.

I grew up in Amsterdam…and it’s legal there.
It’s not as big of a deal a lot of people think it is….nobody is (well most people aren’t) walking around like a crackhead.
Smoking cigarettes is legal, and drinking, which has side-effects, is legal…so uhm YEAH I think it should be legal in the U.S. (and maybe some other countries) too

Medicinal marijuana industry is bigger than the beer industry here in California. Our state’s coffers are empty: they close the DMV to save money, and the Governator says there will be further cuts to health and education.
People whom obtain marijuana legally in California need to do some things: avoid any driving while under the influence, and get their bud locked-down in their cars as they transport it into their homes where they can privately and safely self-medicate.
All these yahoos who are drinking alcohol and smoking pot at the same time and then blaming their inebriation on the legalization of marijuana are ruining it for us all.
Lets keep it discrete and safe, people. Lets show that we can end the prohibition of marijuana and still act responsibly.

Yes! They have drugs in pharmacies and perscriptions that are way more dangerous but they release them anyways… The true reason why they wont legalise pot in North America is because it is less addicting then cigarettes, cheaper and easier to make, and it is not as harmful for long peroids of time as otherwise cigarettes are. That way they lose control of the people, less money, and fewer deaths which means overpopulation will increase.
