You are all missing out. Marijuana is much too easy to grow and already mass grown regardless of laws. They wouldn't be able to make enough money off it because nobody would sell it where it could be taxed causing a whole new batch of problems. Not to mention, alcohol is bad enough and there are a lot more long term effects of smoking it than people care to acknowledge. Usually it's the people reading nothing but high times that choose not to do the proper research of the effects it has.


I say keep it illegal, we have enough morons in America, we don't need a whole new batch down the road that have had their brains clogged with poison.



If there are long terms effects from pot, why has no one died? Smoking cigarettes is legal and those are just as, if not more, harmful. Why do you think the government hasn't made cigarettes illegal? Its called inelastic demand. High prices or low prices, people will always smoke their cigarettes, and the government will always get their taxes from it.

IMO, legal or not people who want to smoke pot are going to whether its againts the law or not. I do believe it would help the economy. And yes, people do grow it regardless of laws, but nothing stopped the government from making laws about producing your own alcohol with out a license. I'm not just saying "legalize pot and let the people run wild", there would definatly have to be regulations similar to the ones regarding alcohol.
