Yes I think that it should be legal. I smoke pot nearly everyday and I have never been accused of being high while at work. Unlike some of the guys there have been sent home for being drunk. I never got a ticket for DWS either (Driving While Stoned).

Hmm..
1) It does contribute to cancer, as well as mental illnesses (BMA Fact)
2) It is only prescribed for severe pain relief, and only as a last resprt
3)Pot heads are some of the worse drivers going, you want a bunch of smacked out losers behind the wheel?
4)I dont believe in corporate profit
5)The world would be full of teenagers doped to the eyes and being depressed about their middle-class lives...oh wait, thats already happening...

1) The jury's still out on this one, although THC has been shown to be neuroprotective(it doesn't kill brain cells, despite DEA propaganda)..
2) Legitimate medical use does seem to contradict its classfication in the CSA.
3) Sorry, no. Driving while intoxicated, no matter the substance, is WRONG. You are putting yourself and the other drivers on the road in unnecessary danger.
4) Yeah, taxes on cannabis sales would be pretty damn good for the government. They could go towards education and rehabilitation programs for people who can't control their own use of intoxicants.
It'd be useful in paper and fiber products, medicine, and fuel issues, as well as the recreational use.

Your first reason was wrong: any smoking, pot, cigarette, or anything you can think of to roll and smoke has the potential of causing lung and throat cancer. It also is prescribed for a very specific use: to reduce the side effects for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. I hope you don't come to my area and smoke pot while driving - we don't need anymore impaired drivers!
