Do you think Marijuana should be legalized?

Marijuana plant - This is what the plant can look like when it is in full bloom, No this is not my plant. I do not grow Marijuana. I found this picture and thought the plant was pretty.

What do you think about the legalization of Marijuana in the United States? Do you think it should be legal or remain illegal? Why?I think that Marijuana should be legalized in the United States, because of the many uses of the Cannabis plant. You can create Hemp from it. Which you can use to make rope and clothing. Though Hemp is legal in this country Marijuana is not. But then you get to the medical uses that it is good for. There are tons way to many to sit and list in this forum. Then you get to the other uses for Marijuana, like the resin the plant produces can be broken down into a safer and more natural oil, which in turn makes our fuel. The stock that the plant grows on can be used to make paper. Every part of this plant can be used and would be good for the economy. Plus think about all the people in jail or prison of minor possession charges. If Marijuana was legal we could let all of them people out of jail and keep the violent ones in jail that they keep letting out due to jail overcrowding. It just makes sense.

It should be de-crimalised but nto leagal that way if they catch you wiht it you will get a ticket sorta like a speeding ticket. You brougth out some good point but unfortunatly some of them require a different strains of the plant.
