i agree with Azan's idea but alcohol can also make people irrational but that is legal so then make limits like you cannot be high in public.

as long as it can be legally sold and manufactured, that's all I want.

Yeah, it could open up so much more jobs and marketing, and it will lower crime.

I think that perhaps it should be legal, but have an age limit like alcohol does. Only for marijuana, the age limit should be 25 or even 30. I just want to avoid people on marijuana and alcohol at the same time. Aside from that, here's a nice bit of information:
Marijuana is the safest of the 'bad' drugs that people take, yet it takes around a whole month for it to leave your system. On the other hand, many more dangerous drugs are flushed out of your system in a week or even a matter of days. Many people who would rather take marijuana to be safe cannot, as they'd be caught and get in trouble. So instead they turn to the more dangerous drugs.
This is not right, and something should change.

I think you guys might be missing something here: Marijuana replaces oxygen in the brain. You know that little thing called CarbonMonoxide? That poisonous gas that kills brain cells? Yeah, that's what marijuana does. It causes people to be irrational because they literally can't think for themselves when using it. If it became legal, even just for medical purposes, the demand for it would rise, and the supply would rise, making the price drop. This would make it even easier for school kids -teens like us- to get the stuff, which would create academic problems as well. It doesnt really help anyone, it just makes them forget that they have problems. I don't know about you, but I don't think that ignoring medical problem is a good way to deal with it. Don't forget that it slowly drains you of your interest in anything other than itself. After awhile, smoking it is all you care about, basicly, you become a vegitable. Personally, I think there are enough vegitables in the world, I don't want another one - especially one that smells as horrible as marijuana.

Well I agree that many people would abuse it, but your statments on supply and demand are wrong, because you can put a pretty big tax on it so the governemnt will benefit and still make it hard to get.

I'm sorry chica but . . . Just how many people have you heard got in a car accident because they were high off of weed? It really can help alot of people that have cancer. There are TONS of drugs that people OD on or don't need or just are addicted or anything. In fact they are much more natural than cigerettes so if you're going to not leagalize marajuana than illegalize cigerettes. Not to mention its not that hard to get illegal. So just make it and cigerettes REALLY expensive or illegalize them both because how many people die from weed each year vs people dieing from cancer, lung disease, dtc from cigerettes? Exactly. Just think also there is money. Give money from cigerettes and weed and there you got a fair part of our debt problem solved. And the oxygen that gets replaced. . . true that would be a problem but can you really say for a fact that cigerettes can't and don't do pretty much the same thing (if not to the brain then to the lungs). Also alot of kids at our school alone do weed so legalizing it and putting an age limit on it wouldn't make any drastically more or less kids to smoke it. In fact it would still be illegal to kids. Its not like we'd put it on the shelf like tylenol or anything. And btw Kiddofreak if you're not a drug addict ( which most are with or without weed) you do care about other things, IT does not drain you from other things unless you're addicted (and if it can then cigerettes are a worse problem in that area than weed), and you do care about other things. IT DOES NOT become a top priority unless you're addicted.

Okay, a bunch of those studies about the tons of people dying from cigarettes each year are actually speculation. Many of the deaths "proven" to be caused by cigarette smoke are actually just the number of people that died while living with a smoker, many of them weren't actually proven to have been caused by cigarette smoke. People have tried to mak cigarettes illegal, just look at the nationwide smoking bans - and look at the huge controversy over it. Remember the prohibition of alcohol, and then remember how much good that did. It is reallt hard to make something that has become mainstream illegal again. I say we keep that from happening with marijuana and keep it illegal in the first place. I want to know how it helps people with cancer, just what does it do anyhow? I'm kind of confused with your logic: I'm getting the idea that you think that people who smoke cigarettes and got cancer (perhaps from the cigarettes) should be allowed to then smoke marijuana. How does that make sense?

One joint is equal to 8 ciggarets, its a dangerous drug which should only be used under the watchful eyes of a hospital for medical purposes and even then only if the patient wants to use it.

IT can relieve pain and stress for a certain period of time. Medication purposes are not the same as getting high you wouldn't get enough to get high if you were using for medicine related purposes. And if you're selling pure marajuana instead of a dilluted kind then you're pretty well of off.

Marajuana is just the same as alchohol or cigaretts. They are not illegal. If thoose drugs are not illegal than marajuana should be legal in limited amounts. Like ET said, we really just need to do is to put limits on it, and if it can help people get through a hard medical time too, then it is even better.

It doesnt really relieve any pain, it literally makes it impossible to think about it. Personally, that doesnt seems like a very good choice of action to me. It seems like too big a risk for people to start doing that.

I am not sure of my views so this is just an opinon. I think that it may be legalized, and I know this hasnt been proven, but most of the time why do teens smoke? Because they arent suppose to. I am not a 100% sure on this myself for an answer and weather or not this is concluded. But legalizing it may just help. Plus it is one of the most harmless drugs and will give lots of jobs.
