No, it shouldn't be.

At this point I don't think it matters a doggone  bit one way or the other.

Don't criticize it, legalize it!

Let 'em have it! Hemp everywhere! Used for Everything! The next dent corn!


Better than making everyone miserable and encouraging drug-related crime.

Like I've heard. Maybe it was my uncle who said it or something very close: "Just sell it in the liquor store."

I've heard its effects are less dangerous than alcohol and pretty much no one has died from overdose. Why are we arguing about this? In a more extreme possibility You could potentially sell it alongside cigarettes in the grocery store! Remember they lock up the tobacco anyway! Why not do the same for pot? They sell beer and wine in the grocery stores. Maybe its just the idea of it that people can't grasp. It's not socially accepted, and it is considered mind altering, right? I guess that's why people are worried.

Webster, stop being such a conservative Republican hard@ss. You can't go around saying that drinking alcohol is wrong and try to make it illegal. You remember Prohibition, right? Let 'em have it! If you don't think it's a good idea, then that's fine. You can educate them, but when you try to force something down their throats (or out of their throats), you're going to encourage trouble. Pot doesn't hook and kill people like the hard drugs do.anyway, and it's arguable that even those should be legal. Just because you think something is immoral or a bad idea doesn't mean you should make it illegal. If you want to go live in a place where potentially immoral things are illegal, go live in a Muslim extremist country.

Stop using political/religious dogma, and start using your head. You wanna be free, or do you want more things for the government to throw you in jail about and ruin your life?

Tell me Mark, would you be arrested for drug possession in 1890? Has it always been American as apple pie-- has it always been "conservative"-- to put people in jail for taking any sort of substance?

I may vote Republican, but I'm getting more and more libertarian these days.

Is there a reason Why everyone Doesn't understand this?
Training?

Why not make it legal. It is a cash crop and hemp is a super weed for clothing and other uses.

Legal pot really hasn't made much of a difference here in Colorado.  It's funny, when I travel out of state folks ask about it and honestly, it's just a non-issue for most folks who live here.  I don't use it but I don't care about it either.  I imaging I would partake if I wasn't married (wife doesn't approve) but it's not something I feel strong enough about to get riled up over.
From what I understand, the stuff these days is positively "nuclear" compared to what we had when I was younger and a fairly regular toker.
