Yes, I believe it should be legalized. I believe it should be legalized because of the facts that I have read and because marijuana helps me a lot...
I have been smoking for only two years now, and have come to realize that the only bad side effects of it are, umm, errrr, well I can't think of any at the moment but let me get back to you on that one. I am not stupid, I am not unmotivated, I can hold a job, I am not violent, but rather positive, I don't hurt anyone and actually help someone by buying their marijuana, etc.
It has never killed ANYONE in the history of mankind and you cannot overdose it.
Anyone who has, had, or know someone who has/had cancer, knows how hard kemo is. Marijuana is proven to help kemo patients immensely by making them hungry, stopping nausea, happy (because cancer is a bummer), and other various beneficial "symptoms."
I have insomnia, asthma, tremors, depression (used to), and chronic pains etc. Marijuana has helped me with all of these and has not added anything to the list. I am not harming anyone else and am not harming myself. The government has no right to tell me that I can't put something into my own body, because we all are our own person, and don't deserve any governing that controls us.
Marijuana is also not a drug, it's a plant. Chemicals are drugs, and the government/medical field makes plenty of 'em. All the "hard" drugs (heroin, crack, etc.) that plague this planet [because THEY ARE HARMFUL to your body] were invented by scientists and then introduced to the government. They all started out as good things, then were discovered to be very harmful. Marijuana is a plant that grows from the ground, and even though I am atheist, "God" did put everything on this planet and put herb on this planet to help us.
There are plenty of plants that are actually deadly. Even some of the most beautiful plants can kill you and your pets. But are they illegal? No. Marijuana is illegal, but has never killed anyone. Tobbacco kills hundreds of thousands of people every year but is legal. The gov. spends your hard earned money on catching smokers that at the most, bag your groceries wrong huh?
Tobacco smokers know that smoking it (tobacco) is bad. They can't do anything about it though because tobacco is addictive. Marijuana is known not to be addictive. I go sometimes a month without smoking marijuana and I don't freak out, I don't get all stressed, I don't go on a frenzy trying to find just a little weed. No. I just wait till it comes around again, and until then, oh well. Yeah, I can live without it, it's not hard at all. But smoking marijuana makes life a lot easier and smokers find that life is so much more enjoyable while on and off marijuana.
Hemp (doesn't flower and barely any THC) can be used to make oil, paper, clothes, rope, sheets, plastics, and sooooo many other things that we use everyday. We wouldn't need to cut down any more trees because it takes less hemp than trees to make the same amount of paper. We wouldn't need to rely on other countries for oil, and it would be a hell of a lot more cheaper. It actually doesn't make sense to me at all that it is illegal because the government would make millions of dollars by taxing it. And trust me, I would have no problem going to 7-Eleven and buying a pack of pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes and paying a couple extra bucks just so the gov. will be happy.
We probably could afford to have free health care across the nation if we legalized because the gov. would have all the money that they wouldn't be spending on fighting "the war," and also all the tax money they could make on taxing marijuana sales.
You don't have to smoke it, just don't have pre-conceived notions about it, and don't listen to just one side. It does help people, it does not harm people.
There's my two cents.

Lets see some of the benefits of Marijuana.
Marijuana is much safer than already legalized drugs.
Marijuana is used to alleviate a lot of medical ailments.
Cannabis can be a safe and useful sleep aid.
Marijuana has a very low risk of abuse.
I'm in favor of Legalization would be a beautiful thing.

For so long we have all been waiting for the legalisation of Cannabis in the U.K With Governments around the world making changes to policies and actually understanding the benefits of Cannabis for health and nutrition, we feel time has come and it is just a matter of time before our own Government make changes too.
As former growers in Holland, weed lovers and purveyors of the finest cannabis products we the collective decided to put heads together and see how we can help each other.
Our Aim is to bring all lovers of all things cannabis related together in one spot. We want to create a community because essentially that is what we are. A united community to bring information, research and the best products all in one place.
We are here to help one another in the cause of legalisation, if you have health issues to give you the right information , if your a grower or toker the best products available.
Anything we can do to help those in our community or those in the wider community who may have fears or unjustified worries

I believe it should lol. Most of the world has tried or is active smokers anyway. And you never get into big big trouble if you have it. Marijuana really isn't that bad. All it does is goes to your brain, and releases hormones to give you the "high" feeling. Which being the same hormones that are released after you push yourself in running. It does not hurt your brain at all. And no one has ever died of smoking it. I don't think...

YES!
Legalized, taxed and treated under the same laws we have in place for alcohol consumption, including age (21) restrictions so far as use.
