All my experiences with cannabis and alcohal have led me to believe that alcohol is worse. You can actually control yourself when you are high, when drunk you cannot. Should the U.S. legalize the sale and possession of marijuana for persons 18 and older?

it is already legal, the border patrol gets paid cash and mails a gift to the white house for distribution.

I'm sure that there are many people in the administration who believe that alcohol is more destructive than t.h.c.
Who amongst them are brave enough to say anything against the brewing and distilling industries though?
Georgetown University reports that between 2001 and 2005, 1.4 million alcohol ads ran on TV at a cost of $4.7 billion (€3.56bn; £2.39bn).
Do you think that an industry that can afford that amount of money to remind people that their products are on the shelf of your local supermarket will sit back and allow the government to use another stimulant that often can grow wild in the yard?
I'm afraid that, in the land of the free, those who enjoy a funny cigarette occasionally will be considered criminals for many years to come.

Sorry, i don't see what the subject is. An person is taking marijuana legally. No rules are being broken. How do you be attentive to that the son is mendacity a pair of illness? easily it somewhat is for the conventional practitioner to be certain. The conventional practitioner is qualified in drugs and has been experienced to be certain whilst this is suitable to prescribe medicinal marijuana. Why is this a privilege? This guy has the main fabulous to suitable scientific care as desperate by using his conventional practitioner. If this intoxicates him, having stated that, it somewhat is for the conventional practitioner to be certain in spite of if this is a situation. Many drugs intoxicate. to illustrate, vicodin is a narcotic. possibly you may additionally be unhappy in the experience that your conventional practitioner prescribed you vicodin to handle soreness? the sole thank you to end this person's great factor approximately procuring marijuana could be for him or his conventional practitioner to be certain that he does not choose it anymore, or for the regulation to alter, outlawing medicinal marijuana. i'm deeply puzzled as to why this would be a situation for you. you may desire to continuously ask him to not smoke it on your presence in spite of if it is so offensive to you.

If they can control the sales of it, it would be legal, but unfortunately they can't control it any better than they could control bootleg whiskey during the depression when the revenuers were running around busting up stills and marijuana is easier to grow than it was to make whiskey.

Absolutely!!!! Why we allow alcohol to be legal while outlawing Pot, is beyond my comprehension. Booze accounts for 80% of violent crimes. Pot smokers only end up in trouble because they smoke an illegal substance.
Worse thing Ive seen from a pot smoker is depression from eating the last Twinkie....Sad, but not a problem to society.

This is called to undress a saint to dress another saint... Both are bad. Marijuana should never be legalized. If you really want to control yourself, do neither alcohol nor cannabis...

It should be legalized. Imagine the taxes they could collect! You always here on the news, "we got a billion dollars with of pot" .... "we just raided a house and got $500 000 worth of pot "....and so on. Why not legalize it and tax it instead of throwing it out/burning it. Too many people out there don't actually think about stuff, they just complain complain and complain about stuff they have no knowledge on.

The way I see it, marijuana is on a par with alcohol in its ill effects (psychosis and lung cancer v DTs and chirrosis) and far better for you than tobacco (at least with alcohol and weed you're getting drunk/stoned). As such, you either legalise them all or illegalise them all

yes it should be, and HEAVILY taxed. Law enforcement should then focus more on the hard core drugs. Then lawmakers should make weed illegal again afterwards. And no, I don't smoke pot either.
