I want to see how many people, at least here on CD, have smoked Marijuana before.
Never have , I would if i got cancer, thinks it all should be legal, lets tax it and grow it. Would eliminate gang wars and give congress more money to spend
As far as it being illegal due to action state of one intoxicated under the drugs effects, alcohol should be illegal way before marijuana. Not really sure why it is illegal besides status quo.
Was arguing with a classmate back when I was in college, he was a fundamentalist Christian (not condemning) and was telling me that it is illegal because like it or not the government will regulate our morality (? I know right). One, this is a very progressive view for such a hardy conservative (funny, same with Congress), and two, who deemed marijuana immoral? His parents thats who. His rebuttal was, "If it was legal we would have bars popping up everywhere where people could smoke weed and walking around high everywhere!" Emphasis on high because he was under the impression that being high was some crazy LSD effect cause havoc. I told him things would be alot calmer than at present were people are walking around drunk outside of bars.
I did it when I was younger, I tried it again a few years ago and all it does now is put me to sleep.
No more dangerous than alcohol or tobacco and both of those are legal. Legalize and tax it! The revenue is needed, plus we free up cops and jails to deal with the real criminals.
I don't really see the harm in decriminalizing pot. That would seriously curtail the Mexican drug cartels (and wherever else pot comes from). IMO alcohol has just as detrimental effects as pot, if not more so, and that's legal.
Let's refresh our memory and who brought us Prohibition, and what it caused.
Just another way of government running our lives for us, creating criminals to fill our jails and run our streets, just like the days of Al Capone and Prohibition. Started by the Progressive era Democrats in Congress and the Senate. Woodrow Wilson actually vetoed it and it went back through legislature and in 1920, you had an illegal profitable business venture. Not unlike today, just on a bigger scale. Gangs and crime. We spend so much taxpayers dollars, chasing the Dragon. Controlling a persons life, is not Liberty.
