It's currently being debated more and more and it looks as though there may be changes to the drug policy in the near future. My question is, do you think Pot should be legal or illegal, and why?

I voted for "we don't need another thing out there that might harm us"...by harm I mean harm to OTHERS, I don't care so much about harm to the person choosing to use it.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, as long as alcohol is legal the Government does not have a leg to stand on. Weed probably at least will be decriminalized and if it ever becomes legal we will see it develop along the lines of alchool, rehab, Potheads anonymous, and all that jazz.

But thats still better than funding all the people currently in control of the Marijuana market. I guarantee if the tobacco companies realized how easy it would be to start manufacturing weed they would push it with their lobyists, legalize it and make a fortune. Can you imagine the Marlboro man being a pot head

geez what is all these pot threads.

1. It should be legal too much evidence showing that the Reefer Madness movie was false and total propaganda. Hell the dude who paid for the movie even said it was false.

2. Every single president has done drugs yet they refuse to do something about the war on drugs. Someone should ask them if they feel like they should have gone to prison for their experimentation. A holes!

3. I live in Florida and it is a literally going to hell. We have no money for a train system even though we approved it 11 years ago and my scholarship funding is in limbo because the state has run out of money which are two issues I am concerned about. They are doing budget cuts left and right. Their solution to bring in income is for police to pull over drivers that are not wearing seat belts.Seriously? That's the best they can do? How much money is that going to bring in? Yet nobody has brought up pot or even hemp to help Florida out. It's ridiculous! When I see Gov. Christ I will give him a piece of my mind!

Afoi you stated you used pot and some of your comments makes it seem as if you did some bad wild crazy sh*t while high. So I was wondering...

What the hell did you do or happened?
Did you mix marijuana with other things?
Are you sure your pot wasn't laced?

You can't morally justify restricting an individual's right to put whatever they want into their own body.

A simple but very effective sentence. I concur completely

I never mixed pot with anything else and it was not laced.

I was in a car accident while driving high once.

The weed also made me incredibly lazy.
