I don't smoke weed but I have heard about the large medical benifits it has, so yeah I would be one of those persons who don't smoke it but still thinks its still benefial.

it should be legal. the only reason it wasn't was because the government didn't get their cut. It's medicinal, calming and non-addictibe. you can't say that for some legal drugs. I don't smoke, but if tobacco is legal, why shouldn't kush be?

Tobacco and alcohol have been proven to be more dangerous than weed but even if they weren't why should we penalize people for what they decide to do with their own bodies?

i think it should be legal cause then tobacco sales would go down and people would live longer. tobacco kills marijuana does not

it should be legal

I don't smoke it, I think it should be legal, but only for medical purposes, because weed can really help people, but not in its standard form (cut into pieces), but as an oil. I don't think it should be legal in its normal form for everyday use because we already have alcohol and tobacoo, and a lot of people highly consumate these in early teenage years, so if we add weed, things are just going to get worse. That is my opinion.

I don't smoke weed, I have, my older brother got me hi a few times, but I didnt like it
But I think it should be legal, I think there should be an age limit like alcohol or tobacco.
They cause way mor physical damage to people's health and families

We've all seen that...

Smoking is generally not my thing. But since smoking is still not banned, smoking weed should be legalized just for adults. Whoever want to etch away his mind by smoking those stuff should do it at ones own risk.

Agree with these guys lol

If it were upto me, I'd ban smoking altogether.

To be fair- this part isn't true.

I think the potential revenue for states and America as a whole are insanely beneficial. Look at Colorado- they tax the SHIT out of weed, and now they've made so much money from it that they'll actually have to start giving it back to the state in some way. Not including the millions they've already given back to schools (Source: huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/17/…na-schools_n_6888444.html). If every state had that revenue, I could only imagine what would change.

Yepp. In my opinion the only thing that's pro legalization is that people smoke weed and stuff anyway, whether it is legal or illegal and flushes some extra money of taxes in the coffers of the State as a side effect of legalization or so.

But every state can drag the money in very diverse ways from the citizen's pockets, eg to fund or promote schools, without legalizing those stuff. Basically, I see in this legalization thing nothing more as propaganda.

Also all the products that people don't really need to survive could in a similar manner be taxed - eg all fast food, any form of stimulants (chocolate, alcohol, delicatessen) or expensive equipment ... cars with unnecessary fuel consumption and size, designer clothes, big homescreens etc etc etc ( I guess, it's a endless list).

I think, on this level, it could be done a lot more money to finance and raise social issues to the level of economic prosperity. Well, in the end it's always all about a balance of this two poles.

But this balance will probably never be achieved as long as we have a pure civilization of commercialism and consumerism.

I don't smoke, but think if weed is what floats someone else's boat, go ahead but be careful of the laws in your country.
