I'm for legalizing pot, but not because I personally smoke it. Its because:

A) All the tax money the government could make off of selling it legally

B) The money the government (aka taxpayer) would save by not needing as many drug cops or for keeping people in jail that were caught with pot

C) It would be safer and more regulated if legalized

As long as it's taxed heavily like cigarettes, I'm cool with it.

Oh the good old Marijuana topic.

I love weed. That's all I can say.

It's the one of the healthiest herbs on this planet, anyone who says otherwise is ignorant and illinformed. There's nothing wrong with smoking weed, why was it created the way it was? It grows that way, you can smoke it that way. It's a creation from the earth itself, which means we can take full advantage of it. Hell, you can hardly classify it as a drug, since drugs are usually cooked or something a long those lines.

If you a put all the country leaders in a room, and they all got completely stoned, I can gaurentee there would be peace within all countries. No more wars.

Go talk to a doctor, they wouldn't recommend smoking it, because smoking anything isn't good for you. But, with the magical marijuana, it can be done in many ways without any harm on your body, and that's a fact. Plus, if you didn't already know, they've done tests with it on cancer patients, and the THC in the marijuana killed cancerous brain cells, and left normal brain cells untouched.

I mean, why wouldn't anyone NOT want to smoke weed? People stressing over shit all the time need to stop during the day and take a hit of this magic. It's naturally created for us.

And that is all, enjoy my wall of text, Peace. :)

By the way, I'm high :)

Ah the "It's natural so it must be ok for you" arguement.

You know what else is natural?  Mandrake... or dozens of other poisons.

With all the good arguements, god knows why people resort to such dumb ones.

Even if said people are high.

As a side note... if you need to smoke Marijuana every day because your stressing out, there is a good chance your psychological addiction to Marijuana is your primary stressor.

Not unlike Cigarette smokers who get all stressed if they have go got a day without smoking.  Really you should treat Marijuana more as a recreational thing like drinking, hold it to the weekends.

Ok who and it seems these same people have bad example's as adults and I bet that marijuana is the least of the drugs they use. MY buddy is a software engineer and the whole company turns a blind eye to the majority that smoke in the company. Now lets talk about alchohol. I bet it's not pot ruining there life it's there moral and belief structer. Movers all smoke and they are some of the most motivated people I know.

All the drinkers in my family are losers, abusive, lazy, lyers and the smokers have great jobs and are successful. So in my family it seems that if you smoke when you get off work it's not a shameful thing and is actually more accepted as the right drug of choice in my family.

Now givin I had to quit for my job but thats what starts the problems is the companies hand it to you for smoking it up. Funny thing is the harsh drugs come out of your system with in three days. So those people on the junk can get away with it when the honest hard workers that don't want to get drunk can't even relaxe with doing the safest drug known to man.  advil hurts you more then grass.

Thats why THC stays in your body so long is because your body doesn't see it as a poisen and uses it. No other drug that I know of is like that.

So is it personality or is it pot? I know the answer, do you?

SO why not legalize it and take the power from the powerful brutal mexican mafia. What about cancer and people that can't eat. Relaxing stressed muscle's, helping sleeping desorder. I can go on and on about the positive side that doesn't include horrible side effects such as sleeping pills and others that can help you sleep but swell up your tongue and kill you in your sleep.

just watch tv, look at all the side effects from the drugs that marijuana can cure. you are really demonizing pot here.

Same people that will take tylenol with no problem, when it eats away your stomach and can cause damage to your liver and kidneys. But hey lets go after the potheads.

this was never about pot being bad but about hemp selling and taking over paper. lOOk it up.

It will remain illegal. Big pharmas will ensure it.

Really the cons outway. Tell that to a family killed by the mexican mafia because they got in the way of there profit.

So what about perscriptions, they are all good. sure they killed how many people.

How many people has pot killed? NONE

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SMOKE IF THEY WANT, YOU THINK KEEPING IT ILLEGAL STOPS ANYTHING YOU SAID. YOU ARE SEROUSLY MISTAKEN AND ACTUALLLY MAKES PEOPLE DO IT MORE. Look at amsterdam, People there smoke less then we do. Because it can be had at anytime.

No one is going to get greedy about legalizing something that is more harmful then pot. Thats the problem, it helps more people then it hurts. 

cancer patients, insomiacs, Non-addictive pain management, anorexia, cataracts and many uses for it.

the positives are way more then negatives and usaully this talk comes from a biased point of view. To not see all the upsides to it, is just to me closing there eyes to all the information.

What about all the people that stop drinking and stick to pot and stop drinking and driving. People will always do drugs but given a choice, I think we well be safer if people switch to pot.

I think the reasons you give are just insane and biased, just my point of view. don't mean to offend if I did.

Keeping it illegal keeps the power with the bad guys. when really taking one thing away is a big difference,no matter how much of one, it is one.

wow, no answer back. I guess I made some good points.

I would hope they would legalize it.  I don't want to pay casual users' jail sentences.

I don't like pot myself and it wouldn't affect me at all since I won't be using it.  Quite a few of my friends do it though.
