My view on drugs has definetly changed over the past year. I think marijuana should be legal. Why? Because I don't think it's that dangerous of a drug. It slows down your body process and calms you down. As long as your in a safe place while your smoking it, not much will happen. Lets face it, well at least in my school, 7 out of 10 teens have tried pot. And the kids in my school aren't stupid kids mmost of them get A's and B's. Personally i think the economy will go up if pot becomes legal. If we tax on pot, the government will make some money. A lot of high school and college will be willing to pay for pot. Look at Holland drugs are legal there and their country is a thriving country. I think pot should be legal for people 18 and older. People shouldn't be allowed to smoke pot and drive and should only be allowed to buy a certain amount a year. That is my view on pot.

This article is well said and are very true as well, Marijuana is not a ''dangerous" drug and does not make you think bad unless you yourself thinks that way.

That actually should be put into consideration. I agree with everything you said. Drugs is not for everyone and many people do it for the thrill of others doing it because it's cool or so. but that may not always be the case. Drugs are usually an adiction to the effect it has on you. When it comes down to the economy, legalizing weed would be the best thing this government can do. It will help the economy a lot. Many people whether friends or strangers do it. i see them doing it or they tell... (more »)

Anyone is able to get a hold of pot which means the police arent doing there job. Probably because they dont really care about pot. Therefore, pot she be legal

I agree with your article one hundred percent. Marijuana shouldn't be illegal because it's an herb. There are pharmaceutical drugs that are LEGAL that can do much more damage to your system than weed. I also think it'd create a huge revenue if the goverment had control over it; it'd eliminate so many arrests and if it were legal the government would be able to control the intake of the drug.

I agree with your argument because it is true when you said it doesnt automatically cause you to do wrong in life. thats all based on the choices you decide to make. if you're smoking in a safe environment then you'll be fine. Also keeping it to a minimum would be good. Our economy definitely needs to get better. So maybe the idea of legalizing it wouldnt be so bad.

I agree with this article. Our government would make so much more money if we legalized it. Also, anyone can easily get a hold of pot. Therefore, the police aren't doing there job probably dont care enough about pot which is why it should be legalized.

corazon.de.cieloA year ago I would have completely agreed with you. But in the past few months I have seen so many of my cheerful, inspiring, and promising friends go the complete opposite after they began smoking pot. I miss who they used to be so much and it's heartbreaking to me what they are doing to their futures and to the people who surround them. I'm not saying that everyone who tries pot will immediately go "down the drain", but I've seen it enough to advocate against legallizing marijuana. When you sm... (more »)

Not to jump on the whole say-no-to -drugs-because-they-are-bad-and-you-don't-know-anything bandwagon, but I feel your opinion on the issue would make more of a statement if you had more facts or evidence included in your article. Also, a bit more length couldn't hurt.
Thoreau420You do know that all the studies that show marinjuanna is bad for you were conducted incorrectly. They were conducted on chimps that were given gas masks and inhaled strictly marijuanna smoke with no oxygen for long periods of time. The lack of oxygen is what hurt them. This was known as the Rhesus Monkey Experiment.
Also, it's not true that you need more and more marijuanna to get high each time. One bowl will get a person high just about everytime. Good or bad weed. Yes... (more »)

Alicia S. I see things totaly different in my veiw it shouldnt be legal. Maybe you havent done much research on it but "pot" slows down the process of your brain. like you sayed but by doing that it damages it. You say tryed it. Yes a lot of people have tryed it but that shouldnt give it a right to be legal. Most "Pot Heads" as some might say were in that same position they just "tryed it" but then the ygot adictted it became a game. why should the government alow someone to do something that would harm t...

jessicamettsPot is just another substance to worry about, why make more stress?
PurplefillyNo offence, but I COMPLETELY disagree with you. I have friends that are smoking weed because it "keeps them alive". Uh, no. And on top of that, at my school its 47% of sophmores, all of which are IDIOTS who need to get lives. If you want pot legalized, you should stop smoking it, then look back at it with some logic.
You aren't looking at it with logic. Realize, while you don't like it, others do, why should you restrict them? I hate when kids around me drink or do tobacco, but it's their choice. While you may not like it, it definatley should be legal, despite what you define as "having a life."

The only reason you're saying pot is good is becasue you are a pothead. go get a life. Pot does nothing but casue harm to the world. Pothead.
AspiringauhorMaybe this person isn't a "pothead," they just have strong opinions. We'll never know unless they tell us. :)
