Should Marijuana be legal in the US? What are the pros and cons?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

The Canadian parliment published a study recently that shows that in adults, there is no permanant damage done by smoking marijuana. Basically, when you stop, once the THC has flushed out of your system you have no side effects from use, prolongued or marginal.
BUT, use under the ange of 15 causes permanant damage to the brain. Any side effects you see when you're using are permanant with no medical rehabilitation possable.

There's discussion up here about legalizing it so that it can be age regulated.

Answer 3

Yes i think it should be legal. One of many benefitsw outside of the relaxing smoke is the fiber is usefull for umpteen million things like papaer, clotheing , rope, heating fuel...u name it. Whoever outlawed it should be shot in the head, we are one of the only countries with very staunch marijuana laws, and if the government would legalize and regualte, the hemp industry is taxable and comntrollable....not to mention the economy could use the damn money and jobs!!!

Answer 4

I don't believe so, with Marijuana, it's a drug, and along with other drug's, it can lead to addictions.
There will always be someone with weed yes, but I think it'll cut down the numbers if it was kept the same as it is.

Answer 5

i think that it should be.

ive never heard of anybody smoking a joint and then going out and wrecking a car.

i think that they wont legalize it because its too easy to grow and therefore wouldnt be taxable.

i do think that they should take the meth users, lock them up and throw away the key. i think that all the ones locked up for pot shouldnt have gotten the stiffer sentences when pot doesnt kill the way that meth and ice and crystal and whatever else they call it does. i dont think that it rots the brain half as bad as alchohol does.

Answer 6

Pros highly taxable. Will create jobs. Cons To easy to manufactor on your own thus the goverment cant really regulate it because of that.

Answer 7

Only for medicinal purposes . More drugs are the last thing that should be floating around legal.

Answer 8

The only objection seems to be that "you can't regulate it".
But it's just as easy to make alcohol in a bathtub as it is to grow a cannabis plant.

And yet somehow we aren't all running around drunk and crazy.
Bizarre, isn't it.

Answer 9

For medical reasons only, other wise its just another way to be impaired and people drive, operate machinery and so forth on it. A lot of accidents could occur and I'm convinced it destroys brain cells.

Answer 10

Answer 11
