    It should be legal and treated the same way they treat alcohol.

    Yes, without a doubt. Far too much time and portions of people's lives (not to mention money) is wasted on it's being illegal.

    It should be made legal completely,considering that 1 out of 6 people admit to smoking it regularly.To have that many people,if caught ,getting records against them for such an innocent herb is crazy.

    Personally I believe that weed is much better than alcohol in terms of abuse. Ive known a alcoholic to go out and shoot someone, but the worst i've ever heard a pothead do is feel nice and then go do something stupid.

    It is a drug. Its a substance that alters a persons state of being. It does have negative side affects, whether people want to admit it or not.

    A lot of people think its harmless and a lot more people think "Tobacco is worse and its legal!"

    So? Who cares? Thats no argument, it's still dangerous and it still ruins peoples lives, whether there's something worse out there or not is irrelevant.

    well, its not illegal everywhere! In more progressive places its not...
    its part of drug policy law that makes it illegal...makes no sense..especially considering that alcohol..which is much more destructive leads to all sorts of problems...check out this website!

    It shouldn't be illegal. However, your argument about its natural origins is a pretty weak one. Many poisons and detrimental substances occur naturally. Natural does NOT equal safe.

    I find that weed is not a big deal,and compared to most drugs,prescription and recreational and their side effects, it is just a form of relaxing.Why not make it legal.,for many countries have already done so,without ruining the population.I still cannot understand why such an innocuous drug has such bad press.

    singwell-is off researching a lot

    it is a drug, and a dangerous one at that...people who thought it was harmless are now finding out after years of taking it that it was not what they thought- the Australian courts are full of people whose minds have been so altered as to become schizophrenic as a result of pot smoking. Horrible crimes have been committed that the person cannot remember having done. Car crashes are occurring because judgement is impaired. couples trying to have children are finding themselves unable to becuase pot can cause infertility.
    In the past, shamans restricted its use to the shamanistic class: they knew the dangers. they also knew how much to take when they were shaman-ing...but even they could overdose..
    there is no doubt that pot has medicinal qualities. Then, let the medical community extact these qualities and give them in correct dosage form to those who will benefit. No one should treat themselves, (as if that is what most people use it for anyway).

    Yes i think it should be. Why is it legal to drink alchol which can be addictive or to take vicodin which is addictive and both are man made, but we cant smoke pot which comes from a seed and grows to what it is without any altercation just like a whole lotta other things we eat and put into our bodies. If i smoke pot im not going to be goin out robbing people to get my fix, but look at alcholics and look at people addicted to perscription pills, familys are being destroyed because of those habits and there legal.

    Marijuana is a 36 Billion dollar industry. More than Corn and Soy Beans. If the government can find a way to tax and institute laws to regulate I can see it being legalized. An industry that large can create a vast amount of tax money to fund other projects. It was done for alcohol it can be done for Marijuana

    A drug is any substance that affects the body's normal functioning.
    "Pot" and "weed" affect the body in more than one way, so yes, it is a drug.
    Caffeine (chocolate and coffee) is also a drug.

    In my opinion, no, it should not be legal worldwide.
    People become tolerant (they need more to feel the same effects) and dependant on it.
    In other words, they become addicted to the drug.
    This forces people into crime to pay for it.

    yes, why, b/c NOT ONE PERSON HAS DIED while under the influence of marijuana in history as we know, [unless it was laced with another drug which would mean that it would be the other drug in the weed that caused the death]. while alcohol and tobacco have been legal for hundreds of years and has killed hundreds of thousands of people each year.

    annual american deaths caused by drugs

    TOBACCO .........................400,000
    ALCOHOL ..........................100,000
    ALL LEGAL DRUGS .................20,000
    ALL ILLEGAL DRUGS ...............15,000
    CAFFEINE .......................... .2,000
    ASPIRIN ................................500
    MARIJUANA .............................. 0

    weed would benefit the economy and gov't as much as us b/c the gov't could/would tax it

    Less than 1% of people who try marijuana, become addicted to other, harder drugs so that makes the "gateway theory" false

    if they don't make it legal they should at least decriminalize it

    Yeah. Alchohal has so many more horrible long term effects. Plus, overdoing it on alchohal could kill you. Overdoing it on Marijuana will make you fall asleep or devour an entire bag of cheetos. Not a big deal. Plus it has several other uses.

    Yes because:

    It is proven to reduce pain, and could help the suffering.

    It would reduce the 'crime rate' of drug charges (which would actually save our government money)

    It is not as harmful as cigarretes which ARE LEGAL

    and it should be a choice, just like smoking or drinking.

    Hell YES, 100%

    Marijuana, while not nearly as safe as some assume, should probably be legalized. The money spent trying to suppress its growth, distribution and use could be better spent regulating its legal availability.

    If it fell under the same restrictions as other drugs, alcohol and tobacco -- those being laws to protect the safety and welfare of others -- then I say what a person does with their body is their business.

    Yes.

    Reasons: Marijuana is safer than tobacco if smoked pure
    Marijuana is safer than alcohol
    Very few crimes are as a result of marijuana use
    The tax made on marijuana sells would be huge
    This would take away alot of young peoples routes into harder drugs: firstly they would now buy from a store and not a dealer who also happens to have coke/heroin/ice/LSD ect ect.
    The reverse is also true! The marijuana dealers now buy their weed from a supplier who, undoubtedly, also sells harder drugs. And I know from personal experience that the bigger dealers (ie local suppliers) want to get all their small dealers dealing harder drugs as there is more profit in it. Removing marijuana from these people removes one of their huge draws.

    The ONLY two negatives I can think off are:

    1. The possibility of "weed drivers" increasing.
    2. Legalising it COULD lead to more people using it.
