i think it should be treated as alcohol.no better..no worse.personally id rather be around people or even be ia passenger in a car with someone smoking then drinking any day.a pot smoker can still drive(albiet very slowly...lol) where a drinker can not(but still thinks they can).But like alcohol pot can be abused.moderation and knowing when its appropriate would keep it from being a problem.there are many medicinal properties for pot too if our leaders would not have such closed minds

"Legalizing it would infect many more youths, and now they'd be stoned in class, if they even went. Constantly seeking the next high, they'd spend all their money on it, more violence. Truancy would rise astronomically. It would be the "final solution" for the public shool system."

Actually, if you study the statistics in any location that has legalised or decriminalised marijuana, numbers show that use does not significantly increase when the drug is made available. This holds true in Seattle, where personal amounts of marijuana (40 grams or less) have been made the lowest law-enforcement priority (see link below).

Secondly, where have you been?!? Kids are high in school ALL THE TIME. Marijuana would still be illegal for people under the age of 18 (presumably) just like alcohol is. Kids aren't running around school drunk all the time...What makes you think more kids will be getting high than already do? You're opinions are baseless.

Yes, pot should be legalised for a variety of reasons.

No

Schools these days, especially inner city ones, SUCK. There is a myriad of reasons for this, bad parents, lack of funding, gangs, etc. Legalizing pot would just add another problem to the schools. In some areas it is already a problem. Legalizing it would infect many more youths, and now they'd be stoned in class, if they even went. Constantly seeking the next high, they'd spend all their money on it, more violence. Truancy would rise astronomically. It would be the "final solution" for the public shool system. On the other hand, more jobs for the restuvus! But no.

Yes. Legalizing it, meaning decriminalizing pot, would save a lot of taxpayer dollars. Regulating pot like alcohol would actually generate tax revenue.

In a word, YES!

I don't smoke marijuana, I learned long ago that I can get into all the trouble I can handle with 90 proof whiskey. But I still think that drugs should be legalized.

We have wasted billions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of lives fighting a "War on Drugs." It should be clear to any thinking person, even a politician, that we have lost the war. It is time to cut our losses and retreat. So let us legalize recreational drugs, and tax the crap out of them.

At the very least it should be decriminalized.
