  *Sigh* 1. There has never been a single Marijuana related death EVER. IE No one has ever died of a Marijuana  overdose because that is impossible.  2. Knowing that it's harmful doesn't make it addictive. Fail logic much.  3. You could ask the same about alcohol. Why drink if you know it's harmful?  4. Again repeating myself, NOTHING CHEMICALLY INSIDE OF MARIJUANA HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE ADDICTING.  Your logic makes not one bit of sense. "

" @AlexB: So your telling me it would be easier for you to make a phone call and "Get it in 20 mins" then just walk to your coner shop and buy it over the counter? "

No need to get pissed, not everybody knows everything there is to know about a drug. "

 I always get a little upset by people who respond to this question with statements like "Well, I would never smoke pot because it makes you lazy and stupid, but people have a right to be lazy and stupid so let the idiots have their way." 
 
It's called a stereotype. I'm not going to deny the existence of lazy or stupid stoners because lazy and stupid people are more likely to use drugs in general and stereotypes exist for a reason. But when you come out with a holier than thou attitude entirely based on stereotype like that it makes me hope you die in a fire.
 
Next time you make a blanket statement about stoners, imagine if someone said the same thing about women, or Canadians, or African Americans. Pot smokers are people too and deserve respect.

I would prefer it to be legal to where it can be controlled for safety and taxed, which in turn will help remove drug dealers from communities that get people hooked on harmful drugs.

Pot smokers are people too and deserve respect. "

Make it Legal, 
That way there'll be a bunch of stoners in the store at the same time, and that is when we pop a grenade in there to say "hello" 
Rid the world of some of the lowlifes.. At least it's a freaking start

I've never used it, but I see no reason for it to be illegal.  If you can smoke, which offers no benefits, why can't you smoke weed?  Alcohol is legal isn't it.  Alcohol is way worse than weed.

 Marijuana should stay illegal.

" @MrAwsum:   But its like this, if i am at school, or at the bar, or hell at an amusement park, and i want to smoke.  

" @AlexB:  I didn't say that it's addicting because it's harmfull.  I said that if you believe it's not addictive, why smoke it?.. you know one day it's just going to fuck up your mind. And just because no-body had died of Marijuana,  doesn't mean their life wasn't messed up due to it? "

" @AlexB: Then how does this post effect you, You couldn't go and buy it anyway, surely you'd keep it illegal so you could keep buying it? "

Well, If your at school, then shouldn't you not be able to buy it anyway, weather it's legal or not.? "

Legalize it. I see no difference between someone who smokes weed and someone who drinks alcohol. Both parties must use discretion when it comes to driving.  
 
It's been decriminalized over here in Massachusetts, but they're trying to pass laws now that would raise the fine from $100 to $1,000 and another law that would force you to hand over your ID when a cop catches you with under an ounce on you. I sure as hell hope these don't get passed.

I dont smoke it so I dont care.

For medical use, some people could benefit from it. But other than that i don't give a poo. Smoking is disgusting, no matter what ingredients are used.

" @MrAwsum:  but it seems really ridiculous of you to "Hate" walking past  cig smokers, its a momentary bother, if you let something like that bother you, what happens when something really gets  you mad? "

What people do with their bodies on their own property is none of my business, as long as I don't have to breathe that shit in.

Everyone should just watch the documentary The Union: Buisness Behind Getting High

I wouldn't really care, it doesn't affect me in any huge way. Though if I began to smell marijuana, everywhere, then I'd probably be a little more towards the keeping it illegal side of the argument.

i think that it would be a more happy US. i would think that more people would smoke it and people would be more relaxed then ever before.

well i wouldnt use it either way so i dont mind, legal if it makes people happy i guess

I hate you for posting this. I didn't read it because I can't stand stoners, but this is how it boils down:
 
Legalization for taxation = good idea
Legalization to shut whiny stoner faggots up = epic fail

Couldn't care less.

Personally, I do not think that it should be available for personal use, but licensed for medical purposes, such as sufferers of MS and the like, but I don't believe that it should be for public consumption - the dangers, IMO far out weight the positives.....

 
The number of drug deaths in the US in a typical year is as follows:

    * Tobacco kills about 390,000.
    * Alcohol kills about 80,000.
    * Second hand smoke from tobacco kills about 50,000.
    * Cocaine kills about 2,200.
    * Heroin kills about 2,000.
    * Aspirin kills about 2,000.
    * Marijuana kills 0. There has never been a recorded death due to marijuana at any time in US history.
    * All illegal drugs combined kill about 4,500 people per year, or about one percent of the number killed by alcohol and tobacco. Tobacco kills more people each year than all of the people killed by all of the illegal drugs in the last century.

 Alcohol kills about 80,000.

People come up with all these things about how weed makes you stupid and such, but really I think it's just the demographic of kids that weed attracts are all the losers who will end up working at a movie theatre the rest of their lives.

Weed should be legal, there will be less crimes when no one is selling it and getting high. The only thing wrong with that is ppl will get overly hungry and eat everything in the fridge.
