I got your attention. I'm surprised this isn't already here...or perhaps it already was and was just old. Either way, I wish to know your opinion on marijuana.

We can't handle alcohol responsibily. We couldn't get taxes off mariuana because of how easy it is to grow yourself.

I fail to see the logic in legalizing such a substance.

However, I guess if someone is terminally ill with cancer and they want a drag, let them have a drag.

Props to ArchEnemy. My signature rocks hard.

I picked just for medical purposes, but I don't think people who get caught with pot in their possession should get jail time over it. We could just give them a fine instead.

Just legalize everything and get it over with. We've wasted billions of dollars fighting a drug war that we can never win.

Not to mention filling our prisons with thousands who have done nothing more than get caught with an "illegal" drug...a non-violent crime, I might add.

Wake up America! Legalize it, tax it, make some money for the nation, instead of allowing the drug lords and terrorists to have all the profit.

I agree with Hoot.
Not much more to add, but why not make money on anothers stupidity?

Legalize all drugs. People should be able to put whatever they want into their own bodies, providing they dont harm anyone else.

By putting alcohol in one's body alot of people have been hurt.

I wonder how terrible things would get when DUIs started picking up more and more cases of PCP and LSD and Cocaine.

I have a good solution for this. More freedom, stricter punishment. For example, If you did crack and then hit and killed somebody with your car, you should be tried for murder. Drug users should not get off easy because they were on drugs. If you increase the punishment, drug users will realize that it is stupid to drive on crack. They will realize that it is best to use drugs responsibly in the comfort of their own home.

Gandhi>Bush

How exactly does one smoke crack "responsibly?"

In their own home for recreational use. However, it should not be allowed in public places. But I see no reason why it shouldnt be legal for recreational use in the privacy of your own home.
