In your opinion do you think they should legalize/decriminalize marijuana?

Question

it seems like the people who need it cant get it..

im always in pain 24/7 emotionally and physically.. i have scheuermanns disease and lupus..

it doesnt really harm you unless you smoke it.. they proved that it doesnt kill brain cells a while back

it only leads to bigger things if you are pressured into it or dont know how bad the other things are.. basically so does pretty much anything.

my uncle is a drug addict who steals from everyone in my family to support his crack addiction. he said he first smoked pot.. but he also said he didnt know how bad any of the stuff was.. his friends just was doing it and so did he. ive smoked pot since i was around 13 years old.. i have no urges whatsoever to needle up my arms or anything and i dont plan to. it does help control my pain level.. because my knees and fingers and back and head always hurt.

but i guess whatever.. obama said it should be decriminalized which is one of the reasons i hope he wins.. my step dad is going to prison or jail for 5-6 years because of marijuana.. not like he went out and raped some girl or beat my mom.. hes very peaceful and wouldnt even hurt a dog.

i doubt anyone has read this far.. but what is your opinions?

sorry about grammar though..

Answer 1

How many people do you think 'would' smoke pot if their job didnt drug test?  ALOT.  Or how many if they knew they couldnt get busted for it would.  ALOT.

Its certainly not the worst thing in the world.  but we would have a mess if it was just legalized.  And there is still alot of controversy as far as its effects.  

Decriminalize... on a personal use basis perhaps to a degree but im a bit skeptical it wouldnt turn into a big mess I dunno.

Answer 2

agreed.

Answer 3

yes,18 year old kids should NOT get RAPED IN JAILS because they smoked a little reefer for GOD'S Sake !!!

Answer 4

Alcohol was decriminalized, and it didn't stop the rate of alcoholism going through the roof and we now have a much higher murder rate(percentagewise), drunk driving rate(percentagewise), alcohol rehab places everywhere.

"my step dad is going to prison or jail for 5-6 years because of marijuana"

He must have had a previous criminal record.  But you know what?  It's his OWN fault he's going to prison.

But for your situation, perhaps if it was only available through a prescription for pain management, I'd probably be fine with that.

"they proved that it doesnt kill brain cells a while back"

Who is they?  The government?  Then explain why potheads have no incentive to get anywhwere in life?  I can give you proof that the government actually found proof that it DOES eat away at brain cells.

Answer 5

sorry its a drug and therefore its dangerous. it is habit forming and it can get you into other things if the high isn't enough for you  i have seen it ruin families and it is bad the guy who wants it legal is stupid and you aren't going to say that cause you are for a dummy

Answer 6

Yes, to make more room in prison for real criminals.

Answer 7

i don't see why not. i think it's no different than alcohol.
