Marijuana should it stay illeagal or be legalized? lets hear your opinion

[Falconer02]

IT SHOULD STAY AND REMAIN ILLEGAL...

...because?

[mrstina08]

It should be illegal. It is a drug

[Falconer02]

It should be illegal. It is a drug

Considering that there are MANY drugs that are far worse than mj that are legal (mainly prescription), why would you think this?

Definitely, legalize it!  First off, marijuana is used as a medicine.  Although that doesn't mean much, that brings me to #2.  Its a plant.  Its grown from earth itself.  Its not made up of all these powders and potions put together to create lethal pills.  The city and state spend so much money each year busting drug dealers and housing them in jail.  If it were legalized that rate would go down.  Its a shame, you know.  Hard working family people look for a way to relax the night away and might prefer pot over liquor (which does worse damage, mind you!).  But those hard workers are getting busted and arrested and getting time taken away from their family, losing their jobs.  It would just make way more sense to have it legalized.  Creates lots less problems.  You would think the government would be all for that....

Great reply. I agree on many points and support legalization. If all those who judged simply took the time to hear the truths of how not-so-bad it really is and all the great uses of the plant 'besides getting high' could be greatly beneficial to all! Drinking Alcohol has been an obdvious and overwhelming part of our culture but yet it goes on with the un-doubted knowledge of how many people it kills. Marijana does not kill people. Alcohol does. The Country's economic state could be easily turned around with government profits on the legalization of marijuana.
