I consider it a medicine and just like a medicine I wouldn't want the general public to have easy access to it. If it's used for medical purposes, then sure, have it legal. However, I don't believe it should be recreational just like how medicine, such as alprazolam, shouldn't be used recreationally.

But it is ok that we use things like alcohol that kills tons of people every year and can turn you into and irrational and violent monster but not weed that has not a single death registered to date and make people more peaceful? And what about the suggar anf caffeine we take everyday, those are adictive things that kill a lot of people too.

And why should anybody decide wether I can take make use of such a harmeless plant that affects nobody's life but mine?

See, I don't get this argument. I think those things are bad as well. However, I do not consider pot an alcohol but a medicine. And I know people who support legalization take pride in the "zero deaths" thing but I call that absolute horse shit. People do die of it. It may not be high but there are people who die from it. But pointing the finger at other bad things doesn't make something else less bad. Abuse of medicine is still abuse.

But it has caused millions of people to be in jail, specifically blacks as they are disportionately targeted. It's a waste of money and ruins lots of lives: people will access it no matter what, and legalizing it will allow it to be safer.

You are righ. My father still smokes 1 pack of cigaretter a day. I heard pot is not that addictive, but I rarely see people dropping it till it scalates to harder drugs and they have to drop to stay alive.

To be honest, I deal with addicts everyday because of my work, hemp users look really weird, it changes them.

Tobacco users, you can´t know they are on it most of times, but hemp changes the person in a weird way.

At least this is how I see it according to my experience.

Which is why you dispose of the people breaking the law instead of keeping them in prison. Or put them to use and make them free labor. There's a lot of untapped use in people in jail. Potential the government could benefit from
