| Why or why not? I think it should because...... just watch this 2 min video and you will see why. |
 |
| I don't really see why it's not if cigarettes and alcohol are legal. I never hear a valid argument other than "it's a gateway drug" - well, that wouldn't be as much of a problem if people didn't have to buy it from shady dealers and could purchase it legally. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I don't see many reasons to justify it's illegality. That said, I fucking hate stoner culture and weed lmao types of people so I'd rather it stays illegal to annoy them. |
| Yes it should be legal for obvious reasons. |

Absolutely true, the drug dealers want you on crack or heroin, not weed, thus they do all they can to get you sucked into those...that's how it gets misunderstood to be a "gateway drug", just like you said. Only thing is, get ready for a MASSIVE anti-marijuana campaign, similar to smoking, to launch when it does get legalized. This won't really be out of concern for the health of others, it will be to justify hiking up taxes on them so the government can make even more money from people who solely want to consume a product. If tobacco and alcohol wasn't already legal, I would say they have a case for keeping marijuana illegal. Since nicotine is way more addictive than weed and alcohol is responsible for so many vehicular deaths, I don't see how smoking a non-addicting drug that makes you want to lay around and eat chips is really hurting anyone. Child neglect is the only thing I'm seeing come up, but people can neglect children without weed anyways. |

| Yes, it should be legal, so ppl will get high.... |
| Hell yes it should be allowed internationally. No harm has been seen from it. Let people do whatever they want with weed, the blessing of our world |
| It should be legal but taxed and annoying to buy just like cigarettes. Just making things legal cuts down a lot of problems. There's also money to gain. I honestly can't stand being around it. My throat closes up from allergic reactions and I don't enjoy being around intoxicated people. There are still laws against public intoxication, though. |
| I'm not a fan of it but if alcohol and cigarettes are legal then marijuana should be as well. |
| why just weed, why not all kinds of drugs. lets just sell em at the supermarket. like how you can walk into one to buy a bag of flour, just walk into your local mall to buy a kilo of cocaine. or buy other chemical kind drugs like you buy candy. |
Wansui said: welll.... this... apparently some country did what I just said earlierI think we should follow in Portugal's footsteps and decriminalise all drugs, from marijuana to heroin. It sounds crazy right? But It's been almost 16 years since it has taken affect and Drug use has declined overall as well as Drug-induced deaths and HIV infection rates from sharing used needles. People are not arrested as long as they do not posses any more than a 10 day supply of a drug, but instead receive a citation and must appear in front of a panel of legal, social, and psychological experts to determine if extra help is needed for them to recover from their addiction. The majority of these cases are dismissed. Treating drug addicts as criminals will never be the solution to the problem. In my opinion it is much better to treat drug addiction as a health problem. Instead of imprisoning the people that are addicted to drugs we should help them overcome their addiction. Portugal's system is far from perfect but I think its a very important step in the right direction. |
| @KuroudoAkabane You mean like meds, wich are most of the time inneficient and/or toxic? Even when they work, people manage to abuse them enough to ruin their health (let's just take paracetamol: "Paracetamol toxicity is the foremost cause of acute liver failure in the Western world and accounts for most drug overdoses in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.", Wikipedia (with links)) |

| Yes. As a life longer wrestler and doing MMA my knee is fucked beyond repair pills at this point do nothing for it. You look at the combat sports community and many have similar stories. It's also much safer then what they are doing to get rid of the pain. Just the other month we had someone OD because he took to many pills for his back. |

| i think it should be legal but not taxed. More like decriminalized. Woudln't the government are idiots if they keep it illegal, though |

| Why not? Anybody can get weed illegally... if it's made legal it will be much safer to get, the weed itself will be of higher quality and branded so you know exactly what you're consuming, there's gonna be less people in prison for drug related crimes relating to marijuana, a regulated, legal market in marijuana would reduce marijuana sales and use among teenagers, as well as reduce their exposure to other drugs in the illegal market and marijuana has health benefits. The biggest argument against it is that it's a gateway drug, and that's bullshit. |

| if it's taxed, then yes it should be legal. i am assuming some people worry about drivers being under the influence while driving, but i mean it's already happening now and i'm sure most smokers are logical enough to not be in public while high bcos it's not like they want to die either ' ^ ' |

| Marijuana has been legal here for a few years now and there hasn't seemed to be any issue's related to it. Quite the contrary, the State saves money by not prosecuting people and has gained an additional revenue source through taxation. I believe last year it was somewhere in the vicinity of $100 million. As of now at least, there's no evidence to suggest more young people are smoking and there hasn't been an increase in crime or any other such nonsense opponents of the bill suggested there would be. Rather there has been a decrease, especially in violent crime, of course I'm not suggesting there is a causal association. All in all, while I don't smoke myself, I think the bill has been rather beneficial and the model/lessons could be applied to the remaining States who have not legalized it. At the very least they can avoid some of the mistakes Washington and Colorado made being at the forefront of legalization. |

| I have no interest in smoking but comparing it to alcohol and keeping in mind the medical benefits are all the reasons I need to say it should be legalized. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| I think it should be legalized and taxed. There is already pot everywhere and it has medical uses as well. I think its more important to make people more aware of the effects that it causes. |
| Damn... someone's already posted a before and after meme...oh well, i think this one is funnier |

j0x said: marijuana and psychedelics should undergo more research at least and if the consensus finds that they are medicinal then ye get them legalize already it's already proven that they can have medical benefits, although it's also pretty obvious that the risk factor is higher than say, meditation or less psychoactive medications. |

| This isn't even a debate anymore.... |
| Weed is legal where i live and so far theres been no problems as long as the people who do marijuana keep it out of public eyes. Too many drug threads ;-; always feel like its spam |
| Cigarette smoking and alcohol are legal and both are fine until idiots abuse it. The same could be said for marijuana, so yes... I think there's nothing wrong with making it legal. Just keep idiots from getting their hands on the stuff. |

| No I don't, because it's bad enough that people are doing it illegally anyway, but if marijuana was legal, people would be opening doing it in the streets, and the smell of that shit gets on your clothes, and it reeks, not to mention makes me sick when I smell it. |

| Marijuana was legalized in my state this year. Feels good. |
 |
| Just gonna put this out there, interpret it as u wish: if alcohol is legal, then marijuana should DEFINITELY be legal. |
  |
| Yes. You should be able to buy it over the counter like a pack of cigarettes..."Hey, get me a pack of that grass." Alcohol is legal, yet abusing that drug will destroy your body, give you delirium tremens, etc. Legalize it and put a tax on it to keep everyone happy. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| Yes it should be as long as the people using it are adults. Marijuana is pretty harmless epically compared to alcohol. |
Clebardman said: @shotz_ Same here :x @Seiya I'd worry more about the poison cars release in the air than some smell you dislike if I were you, but hey :x. I guess weed makes you more sick than car manufacturers who lie about their products' particles emissions. Man, you're about as left-wing as it gets, aren't you? |
|
| Yes because after the age of 25 it basically has no negative side effects except being an extra cost to people who want to do it. (Prior to that it can have some effects on memory and poor cognitive function but still much less health risk involved when compared to say Cigarettes, Alcohol, or really any over the counter drugs). They can add taxes on to it if that will be a reasonable compensation but I don't see any reason for it to be illegal. I mean even when it was made illegal in the US the reason was mostly because of a racist campaign against Mexicans in the 1930s and a false claim to Congress that it caused insanity, criminality, and death. Scientists of course disproved pretty much all of those in the 1940s. |

| Decriminalized not necisarily legalized. It's much more safe than opiates or even normal pain pills people take. I also is less harmful than alcohol assuming if someone eats, drinks, or vapes it. People that say to tax the fuck out of it aren't thinking things through. Under decriminalization it's sold as a business thus the new businesses already are paying taxes on it. There isn't much point in placing high taxes on it for the consumer. Those taxes are used as a deterrent. Weed should be more affordable than alcohol because alcohol is more harmful from kidney failure to alcohol poisoning to drunk driving.

Portugal's system is far from perfect but I think its a very important step in the right direction. No, that's going too far. Their drug use cut in half but they still have quit a few deaths from some drugs. You shouldnt have roofies be legal, or crystal meth, or heroin, or PCP. Drug use from legalizing even just weed alone declines other drug use some which is part of why the difficulty legalizing it since the tobacco and alcohol industry see it as a threat. |

Then it should be treated like smoking like you cant smoke it anywhere you normally cant smoke. So Thats my stance on the driving. |

Pot isn't really harmful though. Unless you smoke it in which case you get tar in your lungs. If you eat it or vape it, then its less harmful then both aspirin, and caffeine. If you don't want to associate with those people then that's on you. However the Government has no right to tell us what we can, and cant put in our bodies. Whats even worse...instead of treating it like a health issue...we are punished for using...which can ruin lives. |
| Yes I think it should be legal. Also where I live it is. |
