Cannabis.............?

who all want it to be legal and why who want it to remain illegal and why..i want it to be legal .. i dont use it but i know people that do so that is why i would be for it.. the only reason i can see it is illegal is because the gov.. cant think of a way to tax it like tobbaco

emma.. that is interesting you got a link for that i would like to look it up

I did it for years it is bad it causes u to be paranoid, depressed and your lifestyle and relationships suffer (you get mad when you dont have it.)
Bush grown may not be so bad but its hydro these days and has so many chemicals you may aswell take acid trips.
It is the main cause of mental illness
you end up on antidepressants and other stuff cos it depletes serotonin in brain

cannabis is much more harmless than alcohol yet they serve alcohol :S they should ban alcohol and nicoteen and legalise cannabis, it would change the world! althought if people are sensitive and easily get depressed. i then would NOT recommend taking this drug. Report It

it made YOU paranoid and depressed, many others have different experiences. As for"chemicals" in "hydro", you're wrong. it has no added chemicals it's just specialized strains of highly-potent, carefully cultivated marijuana. rampant use of antidepressants has little or no connection to marijuana Report It

I couldn't agree more!! Legalize it!!!

illegal.

if i told you my reasons id be here the rest of the day. some are just personal with people i know and stuff. others have to do with my beliefs.

i agree with you. honeslty, it's proven that alcohol is a much more harmful drug than pot. it is well established that people are far more likely to become violent when drunking too much than from marijuana use. of course, ANYTHING is excess is unhealthy. if we ate broccoli all day every day we'd be unhealthy.

alcohol is legal bc of POLITICS ONLY, not because it's a safer drug. and i'm not talking "safe" as far as bodily effects go, i'm talking the social price paid by the impact of users. pot has negatives associated w/ it as well, don't get me wrong, i'm not glorifying it; however, from all the research i have read & heard, alcohol is extremely costly to society. i can not imagine marijuana being worse. it should be taxed & regulated, we should'nt be able to drive "high," bc it clearly impares motor reflexes.

but as it stands now, do we REALLY feel, as a society, that someone should do jail time for having marijuana? selling it to kids, yes, that's different.... their brains are still developing, we restrict minors from most rights in the US, i agree w/ that. the only violence i have heard of as a result of marijuana, is in the underground dealing & trafficing of the drug - JUST LIKE when alcohol was illegal & probably would occur if cigarrettes were illegal too. would we send someone to JAIL for having nicotine??

Here in Canada it is legal to get a medical prescription for use of Cannabis as a pain killer.
As far as legalizing it like regular cigarrettes or liquor, I think it should be done. We do know that it affects perception, and can affect drivers and pilots, so its use has to be restricted!
Some pot ingredients are also carcinogens.
We have legalized marijuana production in Canada, but the best quality still comes from illegal producers which we call grow-ops ,.

i think it should be decriminalized. smoking pot is, at least to me, much more addictive to than alcohol. i have a weak stomach, so becoming an alcoholic would be nearly impossible for persons like me. smoking pot is much easier. no vomiting, no nausea. because of this, i now smoke as much a 10 times a day! another thing that makes pot so addictive to me is the weak hangover. alcohol's powerful hangover always deters me from drinking again the next day, or week for that matter.

legalizing cannabis in the same fashion as alcohol would probably be a catastrophe. everyone would be smoking and driving, getting into crashes. people would go to work and just plain **** up. the liquor industry would largely go out of buisness because- who would want to get drunk, act like an idiot in public, then go home and throw up and pass out in the bathroom, or in an alley like a loser? but then again, white people love to drink.........wierdos.

I personally don't like cannabis at all and never use it, but I do believe it should be legalized. It is far less harmful than alcohol and nicotine, plus, our jails are so overcrowded with nonviolent drug offenders it is a ridiculous waste of money to keep cannabis illegal!

I think it should stay illegal - there is such a connection with schizophrenia in young people it is frightening!
