I have to agree with Dr. Gupta, I feel like I to have been misled...

with so many people smoking weed at one point in their lives, we as a nation have two options, to criminalize them all and throw them in jail or legalize it.

According to that logic, we should legalize speeding and drunk driving too, because most people have done it .

Most people drive drunk??? Maybe the people you know.

I said we have two choices, to legalize it, or to throw them in jail, and I have no problem with throwing drunk drivers in jail. Throw them in jail and take away their license.

You'd be surprised how many have done it at some point in their lives.

Laws should be enforced. Legalizing crime is a dumb idea.

There are way more important issues in this country than getting high.

I don't disagree that there are important issues but it seems to me the government has deliberately misled us for decades and doing nothing is more tragic... I think the president should use executive order to suspend any criminalization of marijuana... That will take less effort and require minimal time to do... Criminalization of marijuana is wrong when the only reason is you don't like it...

Driving is legal, so is drinking... what's NOT legal is doing these things irresponsibly (to the point where it endangers other lives), and the same should go for all drugs. Sorry, but your analogy is a fail!

And like Don said above, maybe in your crowd most people have driven drunk, but that doesn't apply to all of us. I've never driven drunk, nor have most of the people I know.
