    YES.

    fighting a pointless war, giving money to criminals, and keeping shut a stream of revenue from taxation.

    52% of most states inmates are there for Marijuana charges (according to the FBI).

    If it is legalized that creates alot of lost income and lost jobs.

    If there is nothing to replace the lost jobs and income then it will never be legalized.

    No, because it will send a message to the people thay the US government condones crimes and drgu smuggling.

    If you cant beat it, join it saying should not be applied to this.

    Besides, if its regulated how many stoners are gonna do things the legal way

    there would be no need for drug smuggling if its legal, it would wipe out black markets/street dealers.

    Yes, because it will stop pushers from selling to immature children. And on example of Netherlands it shows no real side effects.
    Even Barack Obama and Bill Clinton used to smoke marijuana even he claims "I didn't inhale".

    Hmm according to IBISworld the cigarette/tobacco wholesaling industry in the US generates at least 102 billion in revenues, I think marijuana can can grab a portion of that.

    And US brought in 16.5 Billion in taxes from tobacco products

    Don't think it will ever be legalized, but maybe decriminalized.

    From someone who has done more then his fair share of all of these, It's funny to me for people to defend alcohol but not weed. The amount of people who have died in the history of the recorded world directly from weed: 0.

    Weed should be legalized but not all drugs. Other drugs have a dependency factor, but smoking a blunt is like drinking a glass of wine.

    No it should not be legalized. The reason why it feels good smoking pot is because you know you are doing something illegal. Same as riding a bike at 160 mph. If it was legal it wouldn't feel the same.

    i would smoke so much more cuz the artificial prices created by the black markets will disappear.

    price of weed is inflated something like 400% cuz of its illegal status.

    It's like the price of diamonds. Since it's a monopoly by one mining company they control the influx of diamonds in the market hence artificially inflating the price of a stone which is not that rare as they want to make you believe.

    There is no reason to legalize it that would benefit me. I am not going to sell it. I don't want to pay tax on it. I can already get it whenever I need it. I'd rather not see a legal limit put on it when driving and however else the gov saw fit. I don't worry about any of the current legal ramifications if I were to get caught doing what I do. Most of the drug dealers out there right now who sell pot, also sell other harder drugs so legalizing one of them would be doing a lot of shithead drugdealers a big favor.

    Legalizing it will benefit the gov't, not me. I can go on and on.

    Actually, it isn't. Ceasing use of alcohol can cause extremely serious withdrawal symptoms.

    Ceasing Cannabis use causes no physical withdrawal symptoms.

    i don't see how that translates into the marijuana industry.

    california showed us the artificial prices created by its illegal status.

    there are so many small dispensary shops that they compete with one another for clientele.

    grade A heady shit in california i believe runs about $3-$5 per gram.

    anywhere else, the same shit runs for about $20 per gram.

    moreover, that money goes toward the continuation of an illegal op instead of a legitimate business charging fair market value for the product.
