I think marijuana should definitly be legal. From personal experience I know there is nothing wrong with it. The only time it can become a problem is if it is over used. But in reality, can't that be applied to...anything?! There is no addictive agent in the plant itself, it's an emotional addiction. But that can be said about food, or TV, or games. If you get into it and you make yourself need it then it's a problem. But there are a lot of people with strong will power but fear the government so they don't. And plus, how many people are in jail because of something so not threatening. It's harmless and yet people are jailed DAILY for it. An ex-buddy of mine could've been arrested for being high while he was out WALKING! It's absurd.

Dangers Of Marijuana: Impaired perception Diminished short-term memory Loss of concentration and coordination Impaired judgement Increased risk of accidents Loss of motivation Diminished inhibitions Increased heart rate Anxiety, panic attacks, and paranoia Hallucinations Damage to the respiratory, reproductive, and immune systems Increased risk of cancer Psychological dependency www.acde.org/common/Marijana.htmThx god for google I do not support Marijuana And my reply to this is: You can have a lot of those same things just by not getting enough sleep. Basically, the "risks" from marjiana you can get just about in any way. Hell, some of them don't require anything, you could just be an odd person. A clumsy person is accient prone and can be paranoid of being injured to the point that they refuse to do anything. There are three of the "dangers" right there from something so harmless.

It really isn't as bad as alcohol, and it isn't as bad for you as cigarettes (if you use a bong; I think joints are bad?).
Marijuana is not a DRUG, really. Drugs are things like meth and all that where you have to add baking soda and a bunch of harmful shit. Marijuana is just a PLANT, it NATURALLY has those effects.
Also - I think you're allowed to smoke it if you say you're Rastafarian, because then it's freedom of religion ( Don't quote me on that : D)

ok a topic that i would love to talk about. Marijuana should deffinatlly be legalized. In canada (where im from) probably 90% of people smoke it, i used to, not anymore...bad experience . In convenience stores where i live you can buy a herb that you can smoke (in the states to in guessing) and its called salvia its an all natural plant, but when you smoke it....you will see things that will haunt you for the rest of your life. I did try salvia and man i went on a journey. It kicked in right away and the walls started to move i saw a glow around people, and according to my ex boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) i was wanting to hit everyone in the head and then i stopped and sat on the grown drooling, i was like that for 10 min. So my point, WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY SELL SHIT LIKE THAT, THAT MAKES YOU MENTALLY RETARDED FOR 10 TO 15 MIN WHILE WEED, YOU DON'T SEE SHIT AND YOU LOVE EVERYONE? i mean common! yes, weed is a prolonged effect then salvia and yes, people do get in accidents because they have smoked weed, but i bet you any money if you smoked salvia before you drived you would probably think that its a game and slam into all the cars you see!! lol burn out (the game). anyways my point is weed does less damage then HALF of the crap that is already out there like meth, cocaine, crack, w/e. all im saying is that weed is 100x less harmless then you think. But if it did get legalized then kids would want to try it. then again they should do an age limit that you can buy weed like cigarettes. Oh and thats another thing that blows my mind! why the hell would the government let you buy something that can give you cancer and other health problems along the road? cigarettes are FAR WORSE for you then weed. yes there is some tar in weed, but not as much as cigs, and all the other chemicals in there that, just thinking about it makes me sick. Weed is by far the safest drug out there. You may gain a few pounds due to all the munchies that you get, lol. But there is also bad things that come with weed...addiction. I hear it all the time " i can stop smoking weed whenever i want", they do stop...for a week, then they crave it and want more, but then again, its just like cigarettes too, if someone hasent had a cigarette they get pissed off! same with weed. Other thing is that what if the dealers ran out? you would get alot of pissed off people. anyways in the end it should be legalized. holy shit i just wrote an effin paper on it..holy anyways ITS AN OPINION...dont get mad enjoy my paper, LOL ;D

The sole reason its illegal is because rich companies that had large supplies of timber got bitchy that marijuana was going to be once the again the world's largest cash crop. The reason its still illegal is because of that ridiculous campaign against marijuana and the "harmful" effects the plant has on you and others. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and many other founders of America owned Marijuana plantations and even smoked it too. If it were to be legalized, our economy would also recover because marijuana doesn't cost much at all to make, it grows nearly anywhere, and money would not be going into drug peddlers pockets, but businesses that pay taxes. Hemp could also then become our main supply for clothing, rope, and even paper! Imagine a world were trees weren't there for the purpose of being cut down into junk mail. Unlike trees, marijuana can also grow back very quickly. Not only that, but making paper from hemp causes much less pollution then wood does. Here is an interesting piece of propaganda used to scare American citizens in 1935 Money is just constantly being wasted on a "war" against a goddamn plant. Marijuana is only a problem because the government made it a problem.
