Ok well this subject has been around for many years now. What do you think? I don't want someone putting yes and not leaving a reply. I want people to state why they think, and people please be intelligient and don't just say "Cus I love to blaze and its so fuuun...". Thats not an answer. So everyone answer if you like.

I do for people over the age of 18. Salvia's legal and marijuana isn't worse than that. Plus states could tax on it and make quite a bit of money. The punishments for being caught with it aren't shit anyways so why not make some money off it. Also it's not exactly hard to get so if someone wants to get it than they will with no problem wheter it's legal or not. This could also take some money out of dealers pockets too.

I voted yes because... Cus I love to blaze and its so fuuun
But seriously, I think you should be able to do whatever you want to yourself as long as you arent hurting others. And only in your own home.

I voted no! If we were to legalize marijuana we would have a bunch of stupid people showing up to work stoned. (( YOU ALL KNOW IT WOULD HAPPEN! )) What would be next? Abolish the drinking age, that would be cool wouldn't it?

see Pat, you are taking it to an extreme. if we make Pot legal, there wouldnt be much more stoners than there is now. and it wouldnt lead to the Drinking Age being abolished, ect, just make Pot like we already do Cigs or Drinking itself, like make the universal smoking age (pot + Cigs) at 18.
oh, and about you saying something about people showing up to work stoned, how about currently people showing up to work drunk? Same idea? yes.

While I did vote yes, I think that we need to change the term.
Marijuana should be decriminalized, not legalized. If you decriminalize it, you can regulate it, as I believe it should be like alcohol. regulate it, tax it, and increase your tax base. You go from putting thousands of people in jail for it and not gaining a tax base to having no one in jail and increasing a tax base. What a way to help increase our tax revenue.

yeah, treat it like booze, and you have it right. most people that dont like the idea of making it legal always say that there will be more stoners, like Slap said, people coming to work stoned, ect, ect, ect. but then all i have to say, which i did, is what about booze?

I wouldn't really care...so that's what I voted. But I do think that if High School kids had easier access to the stuff, and companies were able to start mass producing joints, then some school's grade averages would go down.

The thing with cigarettes compared to weed is that Cigs don't alter your mind state, they get you a little light headed, but doesn't change your state of mind. So if people were to lets say drive down the steet high, they would have a larger chance to get into a accident then someone who would smoke a cig.

Abolish the drinking age, that would be cool wouldn't it? I voted no. I also agreed completely with Slapnutz, which is why i quoted him. Very poignant, plausible response. It's bad enough that jackasses do it illegally.

Well I smoke weed. I smoke weed a lot. Half the time I surf the site i'm probably high. But like I wouldnt legalize. I'd rather it be hard to get and less people doing it.

personally i voted yea....but no im no stoner i have only did it once in my life but i do kno that if we do open the flood gates there would be problems....but with proper regulation s on the shite people would be more likely to smoke up in a bar or something than in the car (which friends of mine do and they damn near kill people when they drive but anways) i can neither go here nor there so i voted yes just because its not like anythng gets done about it anyways

i don't care what anyone else said i said no. why?? because i don't want the prices to come up so corrupt gov't cane make more money for themselves. (i didn't read anything so i don't know if that was mentioned or not)
to solve some of the problems what needs to be done is homegrown. i'm sure if cronics could grow 3 plants in thier house with all the hydro possible they wouldn't care. if we could all grow in our own homes we would eliminate all drug dealers and also eliminate the gov't taxation of this.
personally i'd rather pay a drug dealer than bush or harper

you have a point. most pot dealers i know are good people, they arent the kind of people like lets say Meth/Coke...ect... dealers. they are good people who happen to like a little herb.

the important thing is though to find out why people want to escape in the first place.
gov't /drug dealer/ self controlled it doesn't matter. why do so many want to tune out in the first place?
i think it's better if you are gonna tune out you do it yourself with either home grown booze or weed. i think it's even better that people don't tune out though
