In the 70's I associated with many wonderful people including my husband that used marijuana regularly.
He quit for fear of legal repercussion at an occupation of Truck driver with random drug testing. Even tho he only smoked when not on or before his shift. The warning that it stayed in the system and risk of loosing his job he quit.
I found the new person he became unbearable. He adored me prior to quitting. He allowed me the freedom to be myself and allow me to make all decisions regarding the children and home and money. Once he quit he suddenly had a contrary opinion on everything. He began to discipline his children violently. It was agreed that he would never discipline the children violently. I felt it was in the best interest of the family to no longer live with this new person. I did stay with him for lack of funds to leave. I now lived a miserable existence. I never went in the same vehicle with him after several episodes of road rage one instance endangering the lives of his entire family.
I hope they legalize marijuana and implement the same laws as alcohol in its use.
I also have seen so many bright and would be successful young people's lives destroyed because they possessed marijuana. Many committing suicide. Six incidents in 1 week at the Sheboygan Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
This tall handsome young man wearing his letter jacket came in one day to sign up for probation. That night he killed himself figuring these charges would destroy what he had worked so hard to achieve.
Tho the use of marijuana has never killed any one the laws implemented have.
Also we could use the revenue from the taxes.
Bring it out of the closet.
LEGALIZE IT.
After several of his friends were legally penalized for possession use and growing.

Yes... There are too many of us that smoke. And I'm not talking about loser stoners who stay high all day and have no useful purpose in life. I'm talking about well educated people who have good jobs and nice homes and are productive members of society. You just don't hear about us much because we're not the ones out making the trouble.
Eventually, a younger generation that is more open minded will be the politicians and things will change.

I think it will and I hope it will. And when that happens the world will certainly be a better place. Even in the news they'll say "100 'illegal' marijuana plants were seized today" as opposed to "100 'legal' marijuana plants will be cultivated for a local clinic".
It's already legal for medicinal purposes in Cali so we are one step further to realizing our cause.

I would think that will be a long shot. Historically, once a drug is illegal, it's very tough to get the ban off of it. They even tried with alcohol but it was too tough since it was socially acceptable for so long. I think it would always get voted down by people who are anti-marijuana and non-smokers anyways. I think it would be a good idea to legalize it and tax it. It would be a win/win situation.

although I don't use marijuana, or anything like it, I don't feel it should be illegal, fact of the matter is, how many people have you ever heard of dyeing in a car accident because someone else was high on weed, never in comparison to alcohol?????
but because its so easy to grow and produce it in enough smokable form that you could do it out of spare closet in your bedroom to supply yourself, the government will always make it illegal because there is no way to regulate its production and therefore tax it...... simple economics will prevent this from ever being a reality

It will be legal in Canada first.(probably withen the next 10 yrs.) Then hopefully when Republicans are no longer in power in a few hundred yrs from now, it will be legal in the US.

Decriminalized yes legal no. I can possesion being about as bad as being a parking ticket, but I do not see it being legal. There is too much rigidity when it comes to the people against it and well, most people do not see legalizing weed as a top proirity.

I would think, look at all the benefits to it. An acre of cannabis will produce ten times as much paper as an acre of trees, how awesome is that? I deffinately think it will- plus everyone smokes it anyway.

Maybe someday, but not a day near in the future. People are kinda of stubborn and close minded so I think we got a ways to go. Plus our country has a SERIOUS drug issue
