Question

Are you in favor of the legalization of Marijuana nationwide ?

Answer 1

Take the money away from organized crime.

It'll be just like when they did away with prohibition.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Actually it has spurred the black mkt,, there are no txes in the black mkt, and it is cheaper to buy than in the stores.. They have actually lost revenue...

Answer 4

HAHAHAHAHA!
The only market was the black market before, but now the black market is bigger.
Sure.

Answer 5

No way.We have enough idiots ,walking the streets.

Answer 6

Denver 8th Graders Use 350% Higher than National Average
Where do the students get their marijuana? 38% reported they got from a friend who obtains it legally, 23% reported from their parents, 22% from the black market, 9% from medical marijuana dispensaries, 4% from medical marijuana cardholders, 3% from retail marijuana store,, The dumbing down of America continues....

Answer 7

Not, really.

Answer 8

I got enough pot heads around me without legalizing it.

Answer 9

its an issue for each state. Im personally in favour of legalization, but its not something the federal government should be involved in

Answer 10

yup. decriminalized , taxed and sold to only those over 21. all profits should go towards local school districts

Answer 11

Yes the world should legalize it.

Answer 12

Taxing it has failed,, it drove up the black Mkt.. Cheaper on the streets than in the legal stores...

Answer 13

It drove up the black market? no it did not. the black market will always be there yet Colorado put 4.5 million in tax revenue back into it's budget in December 2014. sounds like a win to me

Answer 14

I don't really care, I oppose using it, but all the pot heads I know are harmless, dumb idiots , but harmless.

Answer 15

I used to be more than I am now. However, with the attention the hippie generation gave pot as being the absolute perfect drug that would bring world peace and cure cancer, we're already getting nightmare stories of the mental health issues involved with heavy use. I still remember the day when a good smoke was the best thing a person could do to take the edge off. So, I'm not convinced that smoking anything is something we should be encouraging the next generation to do. If we're going to micro-manage people's bad habits, then get off my back and let me go back to enjoying my cigarettes if you want to tell kids smoking anything is OK. Pot's a weed, tobacco's a weed. It's only a matter of time before they figure out that anything carbon based is going to cause lung cancer.

Answer 16

Not only would this reduce crime (if it's legal there's no money in illegal smuggling and dealing) but it would make drug laws more consistent (an overdose of alcohol is fatal but legal, an overdose of pot is not fatal but illegal).

It would also eliminate what I've always seen as an ethical issue. Our legislators are sworn into office on a bible, most claim belief in ***. If *** created everything, *** created marijuana. Legislators passed laws making marijuana illegal. So man has become presumptuous enough to claim something *** created is illegal (thereby placing himself above ***)..

Answer 17

By each & every individual state? Yes...Under the auspices of the Federal Government? No...

Answer 18

IDK, tho I'm moving in that direction.

Answer 19

It should never have been outlawed.
It is a huge waste of tax money, and wrecks otherwise law-abiding citizens' lives.
It is an EXCUSE for gov't to steal our property and throw us in cages.

Answer 20

My borther in law died from Lung cancer, caused by smoking pot.. People are dying from overdose ingesting pot in edibiles....They are sorry in Colorado they legalized it. same in Washington.. The black market is bigger than ever,and more traffic deaths due to pot,..

Pot is not Harmless.. Denver 8th Graders Use 350% Higher than National Average
Where do the students get their marijuana? 38% reported they got from a friend who obtains it legally, 23% reported from their parents, 22% from the black market, 9% from medical marijuana dispensaries, 4% from medical marijuana cardholders, 3% from retail marijuana store.. just what we need..

Answer 21

Answer 22

*** manufactures it not man. So why don't they put Him in jail?

Answer 23

Potheads are morons. Drunks are morons too, but alcohol only kills the liver. Pot kills the brain.

I actually don't give a rats what someone does in their own home. My problem is when it leaves their house and harms someone else.

Answer 24

IMO Alcohol is worse ...causes aggression and fights as well as kills thousands in drunk driving incidents

Answer 25

Right, because no one has ever died due to marijuana, and there's never been a DUI death due to pot.

Look, I have had two potheads in my family, a sister and a stepson. Both were complete and total wastes of space until they stopped smoking it. Both were criminals, and not just for smoking pot, until they stopped using it. Both are still trying, years later, to recover their lives since smoking it. Marijuana destroys lives, and not just the ones that indulge.

As for alcohol, I'm all for getting rid of it too. I realize that didn't work out so well the last time they tried it, but a prohibition won't affect me in any negative way since I don't drink it now. Roads will be safer, and my neighborhood would be a **** of lot better if the Mexicans weren't allowed to drink. At the very least I wouldn't have to weave my way through the maze of empties strewn throughout the neighborhood every morning.

Answer 26

At least decriminalize it and stop putting good tax paying citizens in jail.

*

Answer 27

We waste more money chasing marijuana users than necessary.

Answer 28

anyone is able to get it anywhere.
take the crime character out of it and
do some taxation for the purpose of dealing with those who suffered from it.

Answer 29

Absolutely! eliminate the DEA.

Answer 30

*** also manufactures Belladonna, and Hemlock....****

Answer 31

Yes I am, and for many many reasons, not because I want to smoke it either, if I did it's all over the place. When did you ever hear of anyone getting Cirrhosis of the Liver from pot? :)

Answer 32

So what is the problem?

Answer 33

As well as Poppies(Herion) Pslisibin Mushrooms, Coca leaves(Cocaine) , Angel Trumpets , Peyote etc etc

Answer 34

Legalize it world wide.

Answer 35

marijuana is still a drug despite its supposed 'medicinal qualities' aka the placebo effect. it is illegal and should never be legalised. that would be purely idiotic

Answer 36

You should check out this movie called "Reefer Madness" It's right up your alley. ;)

Answer 37

I think voters should have the right to decide this. With the advent of Palcohol, I can't believe this is a discussion. I'm not a fan of marijuana, but alcohol is far more dangerous.

Answer 38

Yea why not. I don't smoke so I don't care. But I think this would help the economy. Tax marijuana use heavily, and use that money for schools, roads, even police departments. I personally wouldn't do it, but I don't mind seeing it done.

Answer 39

Should be up to the states and local municipalities.
