exactly!

I agree. My brothers smoke every day and they are all screwed up in the head. Now don't get me wrong back when I was younger I used to be a major pot head. Now I will smoke it once in a great blue moon. Other wise I could care less.

This is actually a very tough issue to question. First, decriminalizing it would take a lot of silly strain off the legal system. It would increases taxes. However,, you would be opening the legal market for a whole new, readily available intoxicant. Do we really need Doped Driver Death counts added to our roadway slaughter?

On top of that, Medical use MJ is real....but maybe 1% or less of those getting it now are real "medical need" patients. The only "medical need" the other 99% have is the "need to get high" and they have a liberal or ex hippie doctor who is willing to write them a bogus script to do it. Just come up with a fully "no high" MJ substitute, that keeps the pain relief part, and see how FEW people ask for it.

Thus, there really are pro's and cons....oh, and let's not forget the fact that MJ is MORE carcinogenic then cigarettes. You know, the evil death sticks so many people want to outlaw???

That makes it a joke. Sadly, all you have to do is look at those folks buying it for "medical reasons" now. Yah...right. Want to buy my bridge in London, so long as you are believing any fairy story that comes along?

I just voted yes for this in my state. Yes, I do think it should legalized and regulated. It's silly that it's not. I don't even like it, myself. It isn't a good high for me. Who knows, maybe by this evening, the measure will have passed.

I'm not a pot smoker, tried it a few times but never really liked it. But I have no problem with it being legal. In fact, I'd rather it be legal because then it is distributed safely and with a consistency and you don't have to go knocking on some dude's door at midnight. That was something I never really enjoyed.

"Hells Yeaa, weed for everyone!!!" isn't exactly how I would answer this but I think it should be legalized. I personally don't use it at all but I don't think the government should waste so much time, money and jail space on something as petty as pot smokers. Anyway, some folks use it medicinally already so why not legalize it for everyone?

Even though I'm painfully allergic to the stuff I think it should be legalized and taxed and the money that goes from its sales to go to education.

I'm from Indiana so as much as I wouldn't mind it being legal, I highly doubt it will be anytime soon.
