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. Well not exactly, it does relieve the pain, while putting your mind in a fantasy world where you arent fully consious, yes marijuana is horrible but its for the greater good, the government doesnt have the right to tell a person what he/she cant do as long as it doesnt harm others, now look theres gonna be no way to stop marijuana so why fight it, put taxes on it and make it legal for medical purposes, and also make it illegal to do in public. im looking at it from a science point of view, marijuana has so many properties that make it perfect as not only a pain reliever but many other things as well, we should continue to study it as it may one day be a miracle drug but people who abuse it should be shot and making it legal would help stop terrorism as marijuana smuggling is funding them (seriosly if your against terrorists, we need to put the pot growers out of buisness).

idk about all of the terrorists smoking pot but it surely doesn't help. I mean kagome you say it doesn't make a difference cuz kids do it anyway and I agree with that but we are also talking about other people too. it might not be AS bad as cigarettes but it is still a drug and it can be used very badly even more so than your regular over-the-counter drug. for medical purposes I think it should be used but otherwise let it be illegal so that any kid caught with it can be punished.

Chica you have to also look at how many kids that get away with it. I mean they dont really punish us, kids in general, for it. They hand us a slip to pay a simple ticket for it and that is all. I mean you go to Sibley, look how many kids get away with it their. Plus, I bet that you could go up to one of your friends and spy on them or do a full backround check and find out they have smoked pot. Or at least smoked cigarettes. Which can be worse.

You all bring up such good points. Unfortunately for all of you, none of them really matter, suckers! Let the people do what they want, why should you stop them. If it doesn't hurt you, why go out of your way to stop them? Do you have the authority? No, you do not. You shouldn't at least. People have their own lives to live. You all have your own lives to live. STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.

you know it's scary because you are sounding more liberal every time I see you post. you do know liberals are for doing what they wanna do without anyone stopping them especially the government.
i see what you are saying but still what about their friends and family? it affects them also and to see a friend do that can be fun sometimes but to know that they are hurting themselves by doing it isn't my idea of fun.

Wait you got it all wrong. Liberals want more goverment interference. Conservatives want less big government, and more of a government of individuals.
If someone youknow is huting themselves by doing drugs, it's up to you to feel however you want about that. Just because you feel a certain way is no reason to interfere with what they do.

I think if its gonna be abused now illegally (which it is) then why not just make it legal and let the public have it. Don't sell dilluted weed. Don't get high in public. Charge A HUUGE tax on it and you got yourself a good way out of debt. Do you ever see on the new that someone got killed in a car accident because someone was smoking weed? No you see pretty much everyday that someone DRINKING has killed someone in a car. We give people that chance so why not give smokers that right too? I say have drinking and smoking out there have weed able to be out there too.

No, but grenades are designed to hurt people. Marijuana is not, and doesn't.

you bring up a good point there, but I still believe that many accidents and problems occur because of marijuana abuse, and making it legal would make matter worse

You can believe what you will, but the truth is what matters in the end. And I don't know about you, but I have never heard any reliable sources saying people who are high on marijuana get into any accidents or cause problems.

If someone youknow is huting themselves by doing drugs, it's up to you to feel however you want about that. Just because you feel a certain way is no reason to interfere with what they do. Actualy Liberals believe that if it doesnt hurt anyone but yourself you should be able to do it Conservatives believe that if its imoral it should be illegal, so your views on marijuana are in fact liberal You can believe what you will, but the truth is what matters in the end. And I don't know about you, but I have never heard any reliable sources saying people who are high on marijuana get into any accidents or cause problems. when you are high your judgement is impaired, judgement is required in car driving, and marijuana over a period of time will kill you it is highley dangerous which is why its illegal, the hippies call it when someone is baked, they have taken so much that they have the mental compacety of someone who is mentaly challenged (look at Leo from that 70s show) the fact is is smoking marijuana will hurt others, which is why if it becomes legal you need a special license for it and you can only do so in a special bar type thing, where all the smoke gets filtered and you cant leave untill you arent high or something like that (ive heard this done in eorope) because smoking in your house will bother the neighbors

It probably wouldn't bother the neighbors unless you lived in an apartment. This idea isn't perfect though, but it's a start.

you bring up a good point there, but I still believe that many accidents and problems occur because of marijuana abuse, and making it legal would make matter worse For instance ? How many times have you heard: "Oh another person smoking weed has gotten into a car accident and killed someone." NEVER all you hear is theres another person drinking and drving and killing someone. And you're saying smoking weed is worse than drinking. Actually most people that smoke weed actually get very paranoid when they drive and don't speed. I know this for a FACT. so if anyone is gonna argue with me on this then they better have some evidence and know a bunch of people over the age of 18 that smoke weed. And I mean really know not just like a neighbor but a family member. Weed=Scitzos not accidents
