Might as well. You ain't hiding....

I think it should be legal, but to the guy who started this:

Dude, you not doing yourself a favor by getting into pot as a teen. Learn something about life before you make it all a haze.

[SkyRock]

because it makes you a stoned unproductive slob.

says who?  It affects different people in different ways.  I've been around way to many incredibly successful people that smoked pot to believe this drivel.

Exactly, there are many people who smoke it all the time and you would never know, cause for them its not a lifestyle. Half the ENG department at most software companies prolly smoke it. They just don’t go around talking like an extra from half baked and think its the solution to all life’s problems like the lifestyle losers.

because Marijuana is from God.

satan who controls this system, and is the "god" of this world, would not want something that can possably bring you closer to the one true God, hence make it a bad bad thing.

so he, satan is much happier with the death and distruction caused by alcohol.

To be honest I don't have a problem with people who smoke weed. First off you don't hear about people killing others while driving high. Secondly I have never seen anyone high getting into a bar fight at 2:00 am. Thirdly it is all natural unlike LSD, Crack, Coke, Ice, PCP, Crystal Meth, and Ectasy. With hemp you can make clothes, oil, ropes, etc. I think pot should be legal. It would help take the pressure off law enforcement so they can concentrate on getting harder drugs off the street and it would be a source of tax revenue.

Just my 2 cents....

Firstly, I should be clear that I disagree with prohibition of any kind. However, lets also be clear that cannabis is not without its dangers:

1. Smoking it is every bit as carcinogenic as tobacco.
2. For some people, long term use can lead to dependency and mental problems.

Many people I know - I'd even go so far as saying most - smoked during our younger years. This includes all kinds of professionals including doctors and lawyers. For most it was harmless fun and most have grown out of it. In at least one case I know though, it led to a failed marriage, lost job and time in a metal health institution.

the sad truth is that the situation may have happened without cannabis. My parents divorced because one of them or both of them were not happy together, my mother's alcoholism was not only a side effect of her unhappiness it also enabled her to continue in a marriage that otherwise would have ended sooner.

Ive known a lot of people that have smoked weed all their lives. They look far healthier then I do.

In terms of crime I'd say weed is probably down there with tobacco. Oh there is some crime from the importation but you never grab perps who just robbed someone to get money for weed. Im not advocating useing it but I do feel it should be decriminalized. I get a laugh when I see these SWAT teams in helicopters descending onto some farm to pull up a bunch of plants. It makes me think on the times the gangs in our high rises would declare their own country for a night, keeping us from getting close with their AKs while we only have pop guns, and barely enough manpower to cover calls for service. All to protect their turf and their rocks, jabs, and blow sales. Its kinda funny when you think of it.

Weve pretty much decriminalized it on our own in the city.

Rich is right....a gram ain't worth the time it takes to write the ticket. A pound will get you a night in the pokey.

With the exception of DUI, I don't care anymore about pot as I do alcohol. Keep yourself off the road when under the influence.

Don't ever remember speeding. I do remember going VERY slow down the road though.

Liberals don't want it legalized because then people who rely on it for sustenance would be SOL, Conservatives don't want it legalized for much the same reasons they call stupid when applied to gun control.

Gotta love this country

I think I recall my friend talking about a report he did for school about weed, and that South Dakota made weed legal for one day, and that whole day, crime dropped like 60% because everyone was busy getting high...

[xNOVAx]

It's pretty much already legal here.. Nobody cares and people smoke up in public ALL the time..

[mbailey]

Because potheads spell illegal as "illigal".

Now thats funny
