Should Marijuana Be Legalized Within The United States?

I own a Hemp Store and have for 16 years so no need to say what my answer is, but really if anyone smokes its best through a vaporizer..this way you keep out all carcinogens by smoking the vapors of the product or eat brownies.. Anyone with a medical problem should be left to do whatever they want with no one coming in and saying whats right or wrong. Until everyone knows how it affects them this should be done by anyone in the privacy of their own place where they aren't driving and or creating a scene to upset anyone like the first comment...This doesn't need to make people against but we need to help make them understand more.. Thanks for the discussion and hope it helps at least one!

No, I do not think that it should be legal. It is mind altering and have you ever smoked it? You can't drive around and function acting like that. If you smoke pot and drive and kill my kid then I would be pissed whether it was legal or not. Who cares about the profit. That is just insane.

I don't necessarily think it should be legalized. But you should be able to have a doctor write a prescription for it. It is a well known pain killer and if someone is dying of cancer why not let them have it if it will ease their pain. But that is with the understanding that whoever may get a prescription for it doesn't drive or something that would endanger other peoples lives. But if someone is dying from cancer there is not much chance of that.

I don't think it should. If somebody runs a red light and kills somebody you know and their defense is "Its legal" then your defense will go up in smoke just like the "medicinal" exhaliant that left their lungs and took some of their brain cells with it.

Might as well, but I really do hope that they use education and law enforcement to prevent kids from smoking. It would be best that it is not abused. It does have it's cons, but I think the good outweighs the bad here.

I am all for it simply because I know it helps people in pain to feel better. I am a chronic pain sufferer and I even had a doctor tell me (off the record of course) to smoke some and see if it helped before he would prescribe some pain meds. Because I am not the type of person to go looking for it, I did not take his advice but I have had people tell me I should try it and they tell me the benefits they get from it.
