Yes.

I've met many people that react favorably to it, and it's great fun. It should be handled with the same legal bias as law enforcement handles alcohol...if they're too stoned to do a field sobriety test, maybe they shouldn't be on the road.

Legalize it on a federal level.

There's no reason to keep it illegal. At all.

Drugs are made in the lab, and are full of chemicals. Weed's just a plant, it grows out of the ground that way. It just so happens that if you are to set it on fire...

He explains at 0:31. He does it way better than I do. Is because he's black? Maybe.

My wife huffed the marijuanas and drowned our babies in the tub and then she jumped off the roof and died because she thought she could fly.

Smoking marijuana is wronghearted.

I don't care to know people who smoke grass. I find them to be of flawed character.

I wouldn't put it in exactly those words, but yes, I feel the same way

its legal here

I'm curious if this has actually changed anything in Washington. Are people blatantly smoking everywhere? Is 7/11 selling joints? Has absolutely nothing changed?

Keep it illegal. If your not an idiot, you can get away with smoking it either way.

Except its illegality limits the success it could have in medicating people.

It's sadistic that sick people should have to risk arrest for smoking something that could really help them out- I mean a person in hospital on a drip is not considered to be illegally using a supply of heroin, which is what morphine basically is.

At any rate, all the arguments thus far in this thread have given vague opinions on what marijuana might do, without any evidence behind them. I'd say weed has enough benefits to make it illegal in a world where one can buy cigarettes, which are the most dangerous drug to use in terms of death rates in users, and maybe they ought to be banned.

Without a doubt yes. Though, I live in Alabama so it has a snowballs chance in hell to be legalized. We can't even have a lottery in this fucked up state.

For those of you who don't know, marijuana (a.k.a. cannabis or weed) is actually regarded as a drug by both medical specialists as well as psychologists. The reason is that it artificially alters the functioning of certain receptors in the brain.

A strong subject amoungst non-voters mainly. I'm against it, the ties to mental illness are very strong. Most people I know who toked went mad and killed themselves eventually. I know a couple who quit and I only know one guy who still does it.

He is mentally ill, but he is clinically depressed, which isn't any connection to weed at al, just an interesting side note.

Yeah, there's no way anyone could refute that.

Why do you say that?
Why I think it should be legalized:

Because it's not a drug and isn't addictive, and no one in ever has overdosed on weed

Why I think it's stupid:

It can kill your brain cells, it's likely to cause you to loose interest in productive activities, and often leads to dumb decisions

Nope. Just like everyone who enjoys beer is not an alcoholic, not everyone who enjoys weed is unproductive. Is a pastime like anything else. Sure, you could be doing something else with that small time frame you've devoted to weed but what would that be? More Internet? A wank? As for brain cells it's such a tiny, tiny amount it doesn't even matter. If you don't want to lose them then don't, neither do I. I've vaped and didn't care but what's stupid is telling people what not to do when it harms no one.

People do it, therefore don't bother making it legal. That's some great logic there, ding dong.
