I believe "to each his own". If it helps medically - go for it! I also realize the outcome of addiction - not good. But if that's what you want I say "go for it!" If it helps you - I say alright!

I have seen what smoking pot can do for cancer patients and for those who are terminally ill, knowing this is going to give them some sort of relief, YES...it should be allowed. Liquor, beer and wine are legal.......cigarettes are legal............why is is all hte bad stuff for you is illegal yet, pot which grows naturally and has been used for centuries can't be used to help ease the pain, nausea and well being of someone who only has a few short days left? I'd want those few short days made as comfrotable as possible............Pot can not be compared to Loratabs or Vicodin or Valium etc.........its in a class all itself and its multifunctional as it aids in eating (giving the munchies) keeps the patient from being nauseated, allows that person to sleep peacefully and relaxes them.... This is just my OPINION............

it should be legalized period

If the arguement is that it should be illegal because it's worse for you than it is good for you ie. the means don't justify the ends medically, then there is a whole lot of other stuff that should be illegal. It only begins with Alcohol and cigarettes. What about McDonalds and Taco Bell? It's a hell of a lot better for you to eat other stuff. What about TV? One study says "television viewing in childhood and adolescence is associated with poor educational achievement by 12 years of age." Not to mention they can cause vision problems and contribute a lot of electronic waste which has to be handled specially. I'm no pothead, I just think that if the government made it legal then people wouldn't have to worry about getting stuff laced with god-knows-what. They could regulate it. Make it safer than it is today and provide us with a cash crop.

my parents had a friend who had lung cancer, never smoked a cigarette in her life she battled this disease for years and yes her and her husband would smoke pot....not because of the high that they got but because that was the only time that she felt no pain....if someone has no chance of surviving, like her, and pot is the only thing that gives them a little bit of ease of their pain, im all for it.....i do not smoke, i do have friends that do and dont think anything of it.....i think that if pot were legal it would make no difference in society..

if it was made legal.. then could we do it at work.. No, so how would they know if you where high without a test? Would your employee have to test you everyday?

I wouldn't mind being at work a little stone now and then.. Just kidding, sort of!

In my opinion, the only reason why people got the idea stuck in their head that it's "bad" for you is because it's illegal. You gotta think about the pros and cons about it. What's even wrong with it? You can't drive when you smoke it, you can't drive when you drink liquor either. You can get brain damage if you smoke it, you can get liver cancer if you drink liquor.

I've never smoked a blunt before in my life, and I don't plan on it, but I think for the people who DO smoke it, they should be allowed. Why? Because theres nothing wrong with it! African's pull it off trees in the streets and smoke it, why can't we? The only law against weed is that we can't illegally sell it to each other. And the only reason why it's illegal is because there's way too much money on the side to legalize it.

We teach our kids not to smoke it because it's illegal and there is no specific time in your life when you CAN smoke it

Chase4 I am just wondering if you actually know someone who smokes?

I used to have a different opinion, one similar to yours before I met some people that did. I myself have never smoked because its just not something I am interested in. I dont do any kind of drugs pills, coccaine, meth any kind of anything.

Im for it being legal hats off to you guys....I know people who say it helps them, and if it can help them if only in there head then so be it...(she has cancer)

I have HIV/AIDS and can tell you that marijuana has kept me from being sick to my tummy and helps me sleep. It should be legal in every state with a prescription from your doctor. Marrinol is not the same as the marijuana and doesn't help nearly as much. It is a crime that people who need marijuana for illness are made into criminals by having to bye it on the streets.

my opinion,is that it should be legal all the way.
its not even bad.its natural.its good.god made it.
its not a drug.its a plant.
and there are no recorded deaths caused by marijuana.
call me a hippie,but marijuana should be legal,alcohol shouldnt,becaause that DOES kill millionnss of people.so legalize.

Marley Fest!!! Just let me know when and where...you are talking Bob,right?
