Legalize it and save billions of tax dollars on War on Drugs. Tax it and pay off national debt. Alcohol way more dangerous.

Should have been legalized years ago.  
Better still... should never have been made illegal in what? 1938? 
The product is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I would rather be on the roads with 100 pot heads than one DRUNK DRIVER. Drunk drivers kill and marijuana smokers biggest offense might be driving to slow.

Everyone chill out.  Like it or not, Marijuana will be legal, by federal law within five years.  Individual states, especially those in severe financial crises, will come to marijuana as the answer sooner rather than later.  I live in Illinois, we have tax problems, pension problems, unemployment problems, you name it.  Illinois always said they wouldnt legalize gambling, but we have riverboats all over now.  Legalize it, tax it, sell licenses to sell and grow.  Everyone is happy.  The only thing missing from the pot puzzle is a way to test how recently someone has smoked.  It's not as easy as alcohol.  Legalize it, and profit.

The legal growers are going to have to come down on their prices. The inflated prices paid for black market weed is due to the risk of being arrested. With no chance of being busted then there's no risk, except for a ripoff. The projected prices are a complete ripoff and all the users should boycott  and grow their own. That's my plan.

there is nothing wrong with marijuana, its the people who think everything is evil unless you can get it at Walmart that's the problem.

Marijuana: the "drug" that was never really a drug in the first place. im glad to see some states recognizing it as the harmless plant that it really is. in the other 48 states in the US, its the most available "drug" and it only makes sense to legalize or at the very  least decriminalize it. Guaranteed you will see more tax revenue and small businesses coming out of Colorado and Washington. People are already saying that the emerald triangle in California should become much less popular and also that by just those 2 states not needing foreign marijuana anymore, the cartels in Mexico will lose out on 4-6 BILLION dollars. Which is a conservative number to say the least.

LEGALIZE IT IT WAS PUT HERE FOR A REASON

I CAN SMOKE POT ALL DAY LONG AND NOT GO OUT AND KILL SOMEONE DRIVING MY CAR.

I DRINK A CASE OF BEER I CAN NOT DRIVE AND PROBABLY WILL KILL SOMEONE

IT SHOULD BE LEGALIZED AND ALCOHOL SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO BUY

WHAT STUPID **** MAKES THESE LAWS

YOU NEVER HEAR OF ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE SMOKED WEED AND KILLED SOMEONE LIKE YOU DO IF YOU DRIVE DRUNK

I recall in the seventies in Head Mag. this chief editor said this legalize pot and do it like the cigarettes, beer put a tax on it and age limit, we would not be the problems we are in now with Social Security

and the roads, bridges and there would be jobs, but it took thirty somewhat years to accept this America never change.

How do you manufacture mass quantities of Muffins or Bars if it’s only legal to have 1 oz in possession?   What is the rest of the law that allows for big business to manufacture this product.

[BRIEFING.COM] Equities ended on their lows with the S&P 500 down 1.4%.

The S&P entered today's session with a week-to-date gain of 1.5% as investors expected reassuring words from today's Federal Open Market Committee Statement.
