If Tabbaco, Salvia, And Alcohol Are Legal, So Should Marijuana
Tabbaco is addictive and long term use can give you major health problems. Aswell as alcohol. There are so many people that decide to drive while drunk and end up hurting themselves and many others. Its a major conflict right now. Also is addicting. Im not saying drinking is bad im saying drinking to the point of intoxication is no diffrent from lighting up a joint and getting high. Maybe if the marijuana is taken of the streets and examined to make sure its safe for use. And i have not heard many cases of people using it and driving.

Yes, Mary Jane doesn't cause as many problems as some legal things (like alcohol) cause.

I smoke and drive all the time. I'm a safer driver when I'm high because I focus and pay more attention to my speed and all that. Marijuana is harmless, especially compared to other drugs and alcohol. I'm all for alcohol being legal, I just think its ridiculous that it is legal and MJ is illegal. If anything it should be the other way around....

 I agree that smoking marijuana helps to focus the mind. I used to smoke it before class in highschool... it helped me stay focused.

Yep; just the sheer amount of people who wouldn't be deemed criminals (thus less pressure on the cop/prison system), plus tax revenues would provide a windfall for local and federal government entities

What is it about alcohol that people think it is ok? What about all the problems it causes. Ever see someone stoned get in a wreck or kill someone from it? Not likely

The point that needs to be made here is that marijuana doesn't need to be "legalized" , it merely needs to be decriminalized. Because by "legalizing" something the government would be, in essence, condoning its use. By making something like alcohol illegal as in the prohibition of the 20's and early 30's didn't mean that people stopped using it, they just found less obvious ways of indulging in its use. Not only did people use it illegally, crime rose because of it. That's why the "war on drugs" will never be won. Ever. Why stop there? If something is even remotely bad for you or those around you it should be illegal, like driving a car, eating fast food, and i hear somewhere you can drown in a teaspoon of water so bathing is out of the question. Silly, right? By arbitrarily telling someone they cant do something because you know better than they whats best for them, you strip them of personal choice to make adult decisions, informed or not. We can never learn to get up if we never fall down.

Marijuana is "the good drug". If I was religious I'd be absolutely convinced god put it there for us. As it is, I believe it's my natural right to have and use the plant because it and I are from the same planet.

Obviously, this was meant to be on the other side.

Tobacco, Salvia and Alcohol are legal and they are readily available in their respective stores. Often it happens that people get addicted to them and in some cases people cause accidents after having drunk a lot in amount. Drinking alcohol is at times good but only if we know where to restrict ourselves but when we cross the limit of our alcohol intake then it becomes an addiction and we tend to do things which are not normally expected out of us. Marijuana is one such dried leaf of hemp which is smoked in cigarettes as drugs. Now as long as addictions are general they are ok but when it comes to drugs then their legalization cannot be supported any way. Drugs are much more harmful than all these tobacco, salvia or alcohol. Hence marijuana should not be legalized.

No way. There are plenty of marihuana smokers outthere waiting for marihuana to be legal in order for them to get this drug easier. I mean if this product is needed for the treatment of cancer or any illness it can be provided with the doctor`s supervision.

 DRUG? MARIJUANA? LOL.. HOW FUNNY. No lung damage has ever been reported and I would be interested in how you consider a plant such as this a drug?

Personally, I'd like to see tobacco made illegal but it's got such a massive lobby behind it as well as being a staple economic crop in the south that it'll never happen.

You don't make something bad legal because other bad things are legal, you make it legal because it has positive qualities and as a drug, marijuana doesn't.

 point 1 : everything is legal until it is deemed illegal by our legislative branch. not vice versa.

point 2 : marijuana does have positive qualities; in cancer patients, people with glaucoma and other maladies.

point 3 : marijuana is probably the least dangerous drug of any types of drugs. its non-habit forming, you cant overdose on it, and you don't stay up for 2 weeks while on it as is in some other drugs. honestly about the only thing negative to be said about marijuana is that you get lazy and might eat yourself out of house and home.
