should marijuana be legalized?

Question

I think it should..it's less harmful then alchohol and less addictive then cigs..wut do you think?

Answer 1

Yes. I have asked the same question and I got a good answer. That person said

"I would like to point out that the cancer causing agents in cigs are mostly added by man after the plant is grown and cut.
As far as being able to grow weed we'll you cant legaly cant grow tobacco but it wouldnt be hard so whats the diff? Alchohal can kill you just from drinking to much its called alchohal poisoning i know this for a fact because they found my uncle laying on the street with it when he was twenty one. He lived but barely and it was because he got drunk lost all inhabitions and just went to far easy to do when your drunk but thats legal. ive still to see someone die from smoking to much weed some one told me the other day that there friend died from cancer due to chemicals sprayed on the weed while it was growing so he dont think it should be legal. I ask for some proof which he couldnt provide surprise surprise
and either way if weed was legal it would be grown buy farmers right here in america giving them more work and money and the chemicals that caused his friends cancer wouldnt be sprayedon it. The gov could tax it more money for them they wouldnt be wasting money on arresting and sending people to prison for and they wouldnt have to pay to keep all those people in prison there would be more money and resources to fight the harder drugs such as meth,coke and heroin which are provin to kill people everyday there wouldnt be drug dealers out there selling weed to children at the playgrounds because it would be regulated just like cigs and alchohal. Now i know that children can get ahold of both cigs and alchohal ive been a kid myself once and done that but as it is right now there is no one checking IDs for the sell of marijuana anyone at any age can get there hands on it. Make it legal and youll make it harder for kids to get it. Right now most of the people who are selling pot care about one thing making as much money as possible
and not one penny they earn is taxed!!
By the way i dont wanna smoke all day i dont wanna drink at all i just want to sit down after a hard days work smoke a doobie and relax before i go to bed "

I think he's right, wait, i know he's right.

Answer 2

I think it should be legalized. I agree with you about it being less harmful than alcohol and less addictive than cigarettes. But then again, I've know some people who can't do it in moderation.
The medicinal benefits alone should justify it.
Just because some people can't do it in moderation doesn't mean it shouldn't be legal. Some people can't eat in moderation either but food's not illegal!

Answer 3

Yes it should be. I do not for see it happening until some big pharmaceutical company is smart enough to genetically modify a marijuana plant and get the proprietary patent rights to it. Then they can market it as medicine. Face it, pharmaceutical companies are just legal drug pushers anyway, this would be right up their alley.

Answer 4

Once the government starts accepting evidence that marijuana care cure things like multiple sclerosis and hepatitis, etc, I think it should be legalized for those purposes only.

Answer 5

Sure its been used for thousands of years. The jews used it in their ceremonies back and the days. As well as the asians and native american (true americans not immigrants)

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Yes, as a controlled substance such as alcohol. The tax revenues alone would be substantial.

Answer 8

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt! LZ

Answer 9

I like how some people equate pot use to liberalism considering im more conservative than liberal and smoke occasionally!Dont use political ideology as a issue related to cannabis use !

Answer 10

Yep it should be legalized. Marijuana is not physically addicting. It is not a gateway drug. You can smoke marijuana and be a productive member of society. It has benefits for cancer patients and those who suffer migraines.
