Should weed be legalized. It's proven to stop many diseases and if used responsible could be a harmless drug.

Hell yeah. This would also lift the restriction on hemp. Grown as hemp cannabis creates more biomass than any other plant with less inputs like fertilizer or even water. As biomass is formed the plant takes in CO2 and strips the carbon to form structures like fiber.
More biomass, more CO2 consumed. Better yet you can convert the plant material into methanol as opposed to distilling corn into alcohol for Ethanol. The process of converting biomass to methanol is called pyrolysis and once you fire up an oven it can run on the distillates just like a car can run off an alternator even if your battery is dead.
As for medicine, I'd say anything that makes you feel better is medicine. But there's a difference between marijuana which can become psychologically addictive, and other drugs like cocaine, heroin, and alcohol which can lead to physical addiction, and that's where the line should be drawn.
I you really need these drugs then I don't believe you should be denied, but restricted to a doctor;s supervision.

its not proven to stop diseases, just to help deal with pain and nausea from certain diseases. however, i do think it should be legalized. its less dangerous than alcohol, tobacco, and many prescription drugs, so i think its dumb thats its illegal

I think we should treat it like tobacco - legalize it and tax it. We'd make money on it instead of throwing money down the drain fighting to stop people from using it.

Some states have already legalized the use for medicinal purposes.

Marijuana is illegal because it is an enormous source of revenue for the various governments.

It doesn't stop any disease! All it does is lessen the pain. The only people that believe it stops diseases are pot heads with avatars ike yours!
