Should Cannabis be legal to smoke or eat?

Question

Guess what: It Is! Go ahead and try to repute this but did you know there are 8 people in the US who truely do smoke MJ legally? Not one of them pot store customers with a doctors note in cali... No. these people get 300 marijuana cigarettes(reefers) from the federal gov. every 25 days. Now, what is the difference between these people and other sick people? Well, these 8(was 13 but they died)people have super powers and are able to influence national agenda. they can fly and turn water into wine and smoke cannabis legally and the DEA can't bother them but they can arrest any other of the 300,000,000 americans if they smoke pot...think about it for a second if you are against personal choice. Just because you(maybe not you) don't encourage something doesn't mean that people should go to jail. How many die from alcohol overdose? we don't arrest responsible alcohol drinkers, neither do we ban tobacco even tho it kills nearly 400,000 people a year so whats the big deal?(psst- its the big corporate agendas and the people that don't know they own it all)

Answer 1

Actually, though patients don't get to "smoke" marijuana, there is a drug called Marinol, which has the active ingrediant of marijuana that is used for patients with nausea and vomiting. I don't think smoking would make their nausea go away, but the THC certainly does...

And on the issue on whether to legalize pot or not, that is something that people have been arguing about since it became illegal. It certainly has medicinal purposes, but I'm guessing they don't want a bunch of stoners running around because they're allowed. If they do make it legal, I'm buying stock in Taco Bell.

Answer 2

Uh, I smoke pot and I don't even think it should be legal.  Not saying this happens to everybody, but if pot becomes legal and people start smoking it as often as cig smokers smoke cigs, America will be even lazier than it already is............and that's not good.

Answer 3

i don't think eating it would be good. I wouldn't condone smoking it, but I have a degree in health education ( with a focus on substance abuse prevention )and the points you make are valid. I honestly have been around people that have smoked pot and people who are stone cold drunk. I would rather be around those who are stoned. the most negative effect of cannabis would be the damage to your lungs. but look at how many individuals are already damaging their lungs but smoke 3, 4, or 5 packs of cigarettes a day. and a lot of it being illegal does have to do with pharmaceutical companies ( or corporations as you say ), because cannabis does have medicinal effects. the companies don't want their over priced medication to be threatened.

So know I wouldn't smoke cannabis, but I think it is a personal choice and should be legalized.
