I fully support it. I'm surprised and impressed that Pennsylvania is even considering this. Legalization is long overdue in our country.

Not necessarily!

Legalize it. The government needs to do it's job by protecting our rights and not interfering with peoples personal lives. I really don't care what someone does in their own home as long as it does not hurt anybody else. People can make informed decisions about what to put in their bodies, and it's not the job of a bunch of politicians to tell me what's healthy for me or anyone else...

It has nothing to do with that. It's a rediculous law. Alcohol and cigarettes are addictive, but marijuana is illegal. A kid with a marijuana record can't get a student loan for college, but a convicted rapist gets grants and loans for college. The hypocrisy of it is our federal government makes money selling marijuana. Remember Oliver North and Iran-Contra? It's a freaky backwards law that the majority of Americans oppose. Unfortunately, it's a silent majority who support legalization, and politicians are afraid of the loud minority conservatives who are incapable of considering it logically.

let me preface by saying i have never smoked pot, and i hate when my friends smoke because it makes them stupid. i can't stand being around people that are high. i drink, but that's it for me.

That said, it should be legal and taxed. the shear number of people in this country that know the smell and have tried pot in their lives show that keeping it illegal is senseless. its everywhere. further proving my point is how so many have smoked and never had any ill effects. i bet i can have pot delivered to my house faster then a pizza, showing how much the current laws have failed.

around these parts there is a bust every few days. typically illegals from mexico, driving a nondescript stolen car loaded with drugs, mostly pot. legalizing pot would put these smugglers right out of business, and save the lives of the police officers murdered who have the unfortunate task of trying to enforce our laws on these criminals.

i say legalize it, sell it like cigarettes and tax it like cigarettes. it would SAVE a lot of lives, and put a lot of hard criminals out of a job. It would also free up a lot of officers to stop other much more damaging offenses. i bet we could fully fund social security off the pot revenue. could you imigine that? people are buying it anyway. it grows like a weed, which would keep the product cheap but the taxes could make up the difference between actual production cost and current price.

i bet if i decided i wanted pot right now i could have it delivered faster then a pizza, showing how impossible it is to enforce the laws on the books.

and if it was legal i may even try it once, assuming my work place's drug policy and random drug testing wouldn't fire me because of it.

I know many people who polluted themselves with about anything they could have, and i use their opinions as a reference point for my next statement. pot is the only currently illegal drug that should be legalized. if the guy snorting coke is telling me it is awful and it should be illegal i'll value his word over any politician... although i bet most of them have the experience to speak from as well....
