I have never used it ---but legalize it it, tax it and stop all this needless arrests of people and the US citizens paying for them to be locked up---make them do community service for heavens  sake not pay for them to sit in jail----we have people homeless and starving in this country for pete sakes.    Stop needless arrests and put the taxes from the sales into paying off the DEBT---not pad some governments officials pocket like the LOTTERY Has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!  That sure did not get used foreduacation or our schools would not be in the situations they are in either.     So much mismanagement.    But it has been going on for years not just started!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES, We the people are ready for some improved changes that do not cost us taxes or freedom. If we stand united we can change the laws and curb "big brother"

Instead of raising taxes on small businesses and other job creators Obama should get off his **** and do something logical like push for nationwide legalization of marijuana and tax it like alcohol and tobacco already is. This way there would be no need to raise taxes and we would have a robust creation of new jobs from small business investment and the marijuana boom we surely would experience.

All states should legalize marijuana, it would save billions of dollars every year and just because its legal, dosent mean everyone in the country is going to run out buy some pot and get high.

More Americans these days are addicted to prescription drugs than any other time in our history, marijuana is a much better alternative for a pain reliever than most prescription drugs on the market. I don't smoke pot and don't plan on it in the future, but I would still support legalizing it. The legalization would cut down on crime and reduce the tax burden on us all.  

Just because it is legal on a state level does not make it legal on a federal level.

I am not going to put myself at risk for a federal prison sentence based on a technicality.

"And as long as your not hurting anyone else it shouldn't be a issue for the government or anyone else."

first, due to your using i had to correct your spelling of shouldn't and government since you have diminished brain capacity and reduced motor control as you type.

and how many times have we heard that argument?  1. assault rifles and high-round magazine clips  2. not using seat belts  3. not wearing a motorcycle helmet  4. eating high-fat foods  5. eating a lot of sugar and drinking sodas  6. over-use of alcohol  7. not using a condom  8. poor dental care  9. not exercising enough  10. smoking cigars or cigarettes 11. inability to concentrate and get any higher education  12. mouth and lung cancers  13. heart disease etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

this argument makes me want to vomit all over my keyboard.  you ARE hurting someone else -you force up MY health and dental and car and liability insurance costs with your subsequent acts of stupidity - loss of self-control in eating, unprotected sex, auto accidents, mental health problems, graduating to harder drugs for even better highs, loss of concern about health maintenance, then back to alcohol and cigarettes. 

you start to cost more to society and then you begin to steal, join gangs and end up in prisons that cost $50k per year for your incarceration and much more when you go psychotic and need a mental institution.  the costs of your under-education due to reduced brain capacity is massively expensive on a national scale.   like any other capitalist business they won't tell you about all of these risks and behaviors but will use your weakness to profit off of you as an addict and leave the clean-up costs to the taxpayers.  stoners lose all motivation and drive and become leeches on their families and society.

pack up and move to Jamaica, or maybe we can make California a non-state like Puerto Rico and confine you there where you will all be known as "dude" or his or her "dudeness."  this is a tragedy that will weaken our great nation.  wake up and smell the coffee .... not the cannabis ....

p.s. and yes i have EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE of the above as I bought, sold, used and abused weed for over 15 years back in the day until i realized the toll it was taking and went cold turkey ... an ounce of prevention is worth a pound (or kilo) of cure ... wake up and wise up.

I'll be 62 next week. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs. Never....well, got drunk once when I was in the Navy.  Don't remember a thing about that night but was horribly sick the next day. You guys call this fun why?  Anyway, I'm all for legalizing all drugs.  I believe in consistency.  Alcohol IS a drug. It's beyond me how millions of people can drink "legal beverages" and be against other forms of self medication. pretty hypocritical.

Having said that, I can't figure out why anyone with a brain would use ANY of it. Nancy Reagan was right, just say NO.  Save your money and enjoy life with a clear mind.
