Legalize marijuana?

What is your opinion on the issue of legalizing weed?
Answer:
yes
It will never happen in your lifetime, so don't spend too much time waiting for such a miracle.
Sure it'd be great but what's the point? Other than taxing the sale of it and making quite a bit of money as they do with tobacco.
Legalize it, tax it, then run multi-million dollar media campaigns discouraging it's use, sounds like a plan to me.
I think it's fairly silly for Congress to make the drug illegal, even for medical use, claiming that their authority to do so arises from their ability to regulate interstate commerce, when the drug cannot legally be sold in interstate commerce.

Congress should stay out of the issue, and allow states to make the local determinations, just like any other minor criminal matter.

From there, I think that drug use (or any crime where the only person harmed is the person using the substance) is not the kind of thing that should be regulated by the govt.
We might as well. Alcohol is legal and it is more dangerous than marijuana. Also if we legalize we can keep track of all those who buy it and the government can tax it.
cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaa... booooooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiii...
I say that the U.S. should Decriminalize it everywhere or legalize it because that way, they will make a lot of murders and crimes cease due to drugs. You know what i mean!?!?!?!?

by the way , i asked this question but do you know if they drug test at macys? cause ... you know :p
I believe a plant that is not synthesized and is natural is OK. There are many herbs that have proven to be beneficial to mankind and I see no reason that marijuana should be any different.
No.

It destroys your body, and your brain.. and everyone around you.

Do you want your airline pilot or surgeon to be a pot head? Do you want to average person in society to be high?
Medical marijuana is already legal here in Cali but the feds keep messing with the dispensaries. It is so unfair. The people of this state voted and the federal government won't accept it.
When compared to other things such as alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is far less dangerous. The government just doesn't know how to regulate it so they choose to make it illegal.
Do it
The issue is an interesting one, and I could go on and on, about the pros's and con's of it, I suppose. But just for the fun of it...I think it would totally change the farming industry. Thanks for asking.
think of the problems you would solve. if you legalize and regulate it (in my opinion regulation is the key) you would have less drug dealers in jail for selling pot, think of the money spent on investigating dealers of marijuana. they would be able to focus more attention on more dangerous drugs like meth and ghb. the tax dollars alone would greatly improve our government (not fix, but at least improve). you could basically put the same restrictions on it that you have on alcohol, maybe a little stricter.
