    They don't legalize it because they don't want everyone and their dog walking around high. For the same reason they don't want everyone and their dog walking around ? . Deny it all you want, weed affects your brain.

    you sound like a ? that has never smoked a day in your life. dont speak on something you know nothing about. let me turn your argument on your head, alcohol is legal but does everybody walk around ? ? ? no. just do yourself a favor and ? .

    Personally I don't understand all uproar about this issue - my state (Calif.) has decriminalized possession of less than ounce of marijuana.....so what's the problem? -- as long as you don't have more than that amount, its a citation (100 dollar fine or less). I just don't understand those who harp about the benefits and they never wanna look at the down side IE the affects it would have on societies younger generation,and those prone to addiction. Just what society needs another distraction while driving.....? ! We got fools texting while driving or talking on cellphones. Now lets allow them to be stoned out of their stupid little minds while driving.


    I see distracted drivers every day and this country doesn't need to legalize marijuana just to please those who think its so harmless - some/most folks can be responsible ? smokers and others will abuse it regardless of its legal status & therein lies the biggest underlying reason for NOT legalizing it.


    Everything has side effects and there are people who will abuse anything. If you've watched an episode of intervention you could see just a fraction of the dumb ? people allow to ruin their lives.

    However, anyone who's attended some sort of academic institution knows of people who got stoned out of their tree all the time and still managed to maintain good grades, strong healthy relationships and all that other good ? . Marijuana is not guaranteed to make you a lazy hippy - just as mcdonalds isn't guaranteed to make you one of those 800 pound people who can't get out of bed cause they're so big.

    Saying that people can abuse it, so it should be illegal is nonsense because people can and do abuse everything. As we speak there are people going to detox for video game/computer addiction - yet nobody is talking about that despite the fact that the average teenager male spend about 5-6 hours a day alone secluded in their room interacting with a machine to the point where they reach their 20s and have the social intelligence of a 12 year old.

    Marijuana is far less dangerous than many other things that are currently legal.



    You got that RIGHT! - I stated my opinion about California law & I can deal with said restrictions and this man knows his limitations -- I'm not about to go off the deep end in whatever I partake in whether others like it or not - maybe since I don't drink or smoke cigarettes, my one little vice isn't gonna get me in any trouble,Unlike those other damn legal addictive ones did years and years ago.

    Just because someone does not use a substance does not mean what they say regarding that substance is of no value.

    Judge arguments by the merit of what has been said and the truth of their statement, not by who the person who made the argument is or how they live.

    If it don't make dollar it don't make sense. That's how the gov't sees it.

    you sound like an idiot, marijuana is a billion dollar industry. playa.

    You are the true idiot. If the gov't could make more money off selling green, then from probation and court fines and tickets, they would make it legal.

    smh@ you if you think the gov't really gives a ? about how ? affects you. It's all about the money.

    Did you know that, in American Colonial times, growing ? was MANDATORY? The tiny little ? seed was the very foundation of civilization back then. It was the first of the "Grow Laws."

    The first ? laws in America were passed in 1619 and they were 'must grow' laws. If you were a farmer living in America and you didn't grow ? , you would be jailed or kicked out of the country as a non patriot. These first laws were put in place by the Colonist Government of Great Britain. In 1773 and again in 1776, ( the year the Declaration of Independence was signed). American made their own must grow laws. At that time, it was one of the most widely used plants in the world.

    Fact - Cannabis ? was legal tender (money) in most of America from 1631 until the early 1800s. Thomas Jefferson risked his life bring ? seeds to America from overseas. Benjamin Franklin, started the first paper mill in America and all of the paper was made out of ? . Wars were fought over ? and without it, America never would have won the Revolutionary war.Obviously the mobs of Muslims attacking and murdering these Christians while setting their homes on fire are not as well versed on the Quran as George W. Bush is - he said it is the religious of peace and tolerance and those who use it for violence aren't true Muslims and don't understand its message.
