Where I grew up it was the cash crop that allowed small farmers to get by until harvest. In the 80's
they started flying around with helicopters and burning everything they found. Now you don't find
any small farmers around here, just large corporate owned farms. |

I agree with those who posted below me. Legalizing marijuana has more pros than cons. |

There is one good reason that i can see for legalizing pot. It could rack up tons of money for the
gov if they controlled the sale of it. |

There is very little against the legalisation of Cannabis. The chaps below have done a decent job
of explaining why and I agree.
It can be monitered and regulated, taxed, it stops casual users from getting a criminal record, it
is only fair bearing in mind alcohol and tobacco are legal, and it takes the business away from
criminals. |

Marijuana should be legal in the US. The only complication is it's accessability to minors and
anyone who thinks minors have trouble accessing it now is way out of the loop of what minors are
exposed to. |

There are numerous misconceptions concerning marijuana. What needs to be explored is why. Why are
there so many misconceptions? In general, has the "War" on drugs been a success or has it cost more
lives that it has "saved"? Are we any "safer" from drugs today compared to yesterday? What is the
difference between legal and illegal drugs? The regulation perhaps?
This so-called war on drugs has been a very expensive experiment from the get go. Don't get me
wrong, I do not want my children on ANY drugs, but the B.S. Has got to stop. If my neighbor wishes
to smoke a joint in the privacy of his home, I don't care. If my neighbor wishes to sit on his
porch and burn one, then I don't care. I do not have the right to tell him he can't and neither
does the government...In my opinion. Stripping us of our liberties usually starts small, but then
grows by leaps and bounds. If people can not see that, then perhaps they should stop being lemmings
and wake up! It goes beyond legalizing marijuana! It is far deeper than that.
The most influential drug lords dwell within our own government. I make no apology for saying
that.
There is far too much to say, but I will share this comment from a trusted mentor.
"Fact is, we are a nation of drug addicts. We drug ourselves, our elderly and our children on a
daily basis. We do it with prescription medications, over-the-counter pills, alcohol, caffeine,
nicotine... And we say it's all fine because those drugs are legal." ~Mike Adams, NaturalNews

This irrational law intrudes on our liberty (individuals deserve the right to make their own
choices, especially if this choice is barley hazardous as not one overdose of marijuana has ever
been reported, also marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol), costs us billions on the “war
on drugs” (which is failing miserably, good hard working non-violent people are being locked up
for marijuana use which costs us as tax payers more than twenty thousand dollars a year for any
given individual), the prohibition actually decreases the use (including youth; you don’t need ID
to get it now), the medical use would help millions, hemp could be used for agricultural and
industrial purposes (this would greatly impact our economies, even providing us with safer fuels,
not to mention the economy boosts from taxing), would diminish the flow of money from the economy to
international criminal gangs, and since the prohibition is based on lies and misconceptions
marijuana could finally be justified. There are many more reasons, if you feel like you need to add
one, by all means, leave a response or comment. |

Drugs with clear evidence that they have severe psychological consequences for users should not be
legalised. It's illegal for a reason. |

I see your argument, and it is quite convincing. But I still think it would make things too easy
for junkies to get to marijuana. That's the only thing I'm worried about. |

In time it will be legalized. |

All drugs are banned for a reason. People who are far more intelligent and knowing make these
laws(well in Britian anyway). Yes, there may not have been any cases of any overdoses, but spliff
over time will make you increasingly paranoid and can cause brain damage.
Have you thought of who will grow and sell it. Why would any country want a
population of drug adicts and brain dead. I would also like to see your evidence that it is less
dangerous then alcohol(I asume you are talking in a medical sence).
PS: Your intelligents is obviously limited; you do not need to put "UK, Britain" in your title, they
are the same place, under the same law and goverment. |
