absolutely. pack it up like a cigarette box, sell it to adults, and tax the heck out of it. but only if they could do a quick test like Breathalyzers for alcohol. Too many people die each year due to DUI, we don't need stoned people driving around too...... |

Look what happen's with the use of alcohol ?! It would be impossible to regulate pot.... anyone can grow it so who would determine who is responsible and by whom it would be taxed?! |

This is a matter of opinion, but think of the money and wasted time the various levels of government now waste on trying to make humans not be human - not just pot, but all intoxicants. Generally they are addictive (alcohol, for example) to only about 5 or ten percent of the population;which could be handled by clinics etc; but instead the govt, answer is misery for all. Most of the trauma ascribed to drug use is the direct (or partly indirect) result of prohibition. In the case of pot you have the most outrageous penalties for something that can be grown nearly anywhere, and should logically be very cheap. These laws should be called by their effect, the gang financing regulations. Before drug prohibitions, gangs fought for turf with fists and some times knives; now they are equipped with UZIs etc and ride Mercedes with large wheels. |

I personnaly think it should be legal but don't know if that will happen. I believe the government itself is behind much of the selling.For instance once 33 tons of confiscated mariquana turned up missing from miami dade county florida customs office with no sign of forced entry(rather interesting). Also they may well make more money by keeping it illegal and imposing fines without going to any difficulty in producing and packaging it.So they can actually track large amounts and keep imposing fines right down the line and confiscating homes and property until its gone then start with a fresh batch. They may grow it on the sly theirselfs to do this. |

Yes, and it should be taxed. It is far less harmful than alcohol,or other drugs. Any one that thinks otherwise are nothing more than mindless puppets that are dumb enough to believe that everything the government tells them is the truth. However I do not want to see the large corporations that have spent there time and money to keep it a crime, to have any control over it, or to profit from it once it does become legal. |

marijuana is no more dangerous than tobacco or alcohol. the question is does the legalization of drugs stop with marijuana. in my opinion responsible adults should be able to make their own decisions on this matter but one of the other problems are the irresponsible adults who already provide tobacco, alcohol and other drugs to our youth. |

im a very strong christian and ex pot smoker.anything can be abused.you could use a knife for cooking or for killing.regardless the knife is not the problem.an old school conservative as they get christian changed my view of marijuana.he felt it should be legalized as a pain reducer.its natural effective and cheap.but he said to many people would lose money if it was ever legalized.the drug industry,the mafia(they dont pay taxes on it)and people would grow their own,and the government couldnt tax it either seeing people coold grow their own.thats why it will never be legalized. |

No, it should just be legalized. We have plenty of taxes already. |

I think that depends on who would decide the criteria for and definition of a "responsible adult" and how fairly it was taxed, unlike gasoline. |

Should DEFINITELY be made legal.
However, there are too many "sin" taxes already... Also, taxing it would be difficult as you can grow your own, and they can't tax that. |

Yes it would free up law enforcement for better things & take money out of the crimminal's hands. |

I know it made a big difference when my wife went through chemotherapy. Before I got her a joint she would be sick and vomiting for 24 hours after chemo.
Smoking one joint in the parking lot after chemo and she would sleep for an hour and then be fine.
What do you prefer? An hour of sleep or a day of puking. It should be legalized at least for genuine medical reasons.
It won't be though because the potency is too variable to establish an effective dose. That's the argument they use. I say one joint is the correct dose as nobody in the history of pot has died from an overdose. |

if marijuana was legalized... the government would be in control of its strength... marketing and distribution. you would not get the same results..from the governments marijuana that you would get from that you are used to smoking. the high would be different. however it would be safer, cleaner and not mixed with dangerous additives...hopefully. now.. who would determine who is a responsible adult.? also have you seen the price of gas..and ciggerettes.? you guessed it.. the price for a marijuana stick would probably be outrageous. just guessing by past experience with prices. smoke from marijuana is harmful to lungs just like ciggerettes and even more so. you still would have people who managed to get high ( by smoking excessively) driving high and wrecking. or working with machinery etc. what would the rule be... no smoking at work.? who is going to enforce that? drugs are destroying our children... families and lives... so no i dont think we should legalize anything.. i say we wipe it all out and get our minds back. |

If alcohol is legal...pot should be too.
They both mess you up and alter your perception of what is going on around you.They both put you in a state of relaxation. They can lift you spirits and make you giddy.
Maybe if it was legal it wouldn't be such a novolty for everyone. All the dealers would be out of work as they should be. |

Yes to the first part, but it is the irresponsible ones that mess it up. Look how drunks make alcohol use messy for the rest of us. |
