Great to see that we have received so many comments from our first post.
I can see from your comments that you feel medical marijuana should be legalized. The reason being that marijuana can help people with many different illnesses and medical conditions.
Why do you think most countries governments don’t legalize medical marijuana?
Considering marijuana is considered by many to be a light drug, which does less damage than alcohol.

I have suffered from depression since i was little and it started getting out of control and my grades were slipping i had no motive to do anything all i did was lay in bed but since i picked up marijuana as a herbal treatment.
I have made straight A’s for the first time in years i can focus in life i am able to and want to get out and do things it makes my depression suside compared to anti depressants that can actually cause you to commit suicide. Why should it not be legalized?
1st off needs to be legal; reason, i got medical issues that prevent me from taking any OTC type pain reliever. but with marijuana pain slides away and no harm, educate people and if ur a regular user definitely use a vaporizer.
In outlying states such as Alaska and California it is becoming more and more legal. which has had no repercussions since this has happened. Weed’s fear started years ago when a movie called reefer madness was made. one giant reason why marijuana isn’t legalized is fear. people fear drugs even though drugs are closer to them than they think. Pills,
Weed is safer than many commonly used drugs and should be legalized.
The government would immensely benefit from the sales if it was sold and distributed correctly with taxation. with the taxation on it we could help the current economical problem within the us seeing as about 22.5 million people use this drug daily.
Cotton companies pay millions to stop legalization due to hemp a more expensive and durable fiber that can be used in many products such as close and toilet paper. this is not only twice as strong but a better quality fiber all around giving reason to their distaste in hemp.
Many anti pot rumors include “it can make children get bad grades” but as we all know if children’s parents monitor this use kids get better scores within school to keep up marijuana use and in many cases this has improved grades.

Alcohol, and and other addictive substances are not only worse for you but more dangerous towards others in the case of motorized vehicles. marijuana on the other hand can be a controlled substance.

The above website speaks for itself as to what prescription drugs and alcohol do and how many lives have been lost. But name one person who has ever been harmed by wacky tobaccy, bet ya cant even name one!!
I have terrible insomnia and have for years. I refuse to try a prescription but I have tried numerous over the counter remedies. Sure, they might induce a lousy nights sleep, but I wake up the next morning and feel like crap, no energy, sluggish and lethargic all day. But if I smoke about an hour before bed, I have a wonderful night’s sleep, and wake up the next morning, feel great and have lots of energy all day. Marijuana has been a God send to me. PLEASE LEGALIZE IT. It is a wonder drug.

Somebody said “Marijuana is a much bigger part of the WORLD addiction problem than most people – teens or adults – realize.”
The holly herb can motivate us to judge between right n wrong. Addiction is a problem not this kind of motivation. Bottom line is to Legalize
Marijuana…..
Newayz we do not give a damn what the people sitting on chair comment on it.
I am a 73-year old male who for ‘lo those many years believed the governments BS regarding cannabis. It wasn’t until this year that I became interested in researching for myself all the hoopla about its origin, legislation, prohibition, use and abuse.
My findings were eye opening and startling to say the least.
Yes cannabis creates and sustains employment throughout the U.S. as seen via the DEA, ATF, local/state/federal law enforcement, et al.
The government legislature steadfastly supports its illegal status despite factual evidence that the 1934 law prohibiting its use was based on “head-in-the-sand” politics and totally without merit or substantiation
.
Another words, the law was an outright lie to the American people then and is still so to this day. I have never used cannabis but I have a 54-year old daughter with chronic lupus and fibromyalgia who could greatly benefit from the prescribed cannabis at considerably less cost than the many pain reducing drugs she must take to keep her daily pain level in check.
I believe its time for the opponents of cannabis to wake up and smell the roses and quit lying to themselves and to others just to stay in power.
There are many reasons canibus should be legal, for one its older than most of the countries today maybe all. our military used hemp for many products from rope to laxative. birds preferr hemp seeds to any other seed. the U.S. constitution was written on hemp paper and the flag was made of a hemp thread. marijuana is not a drug its neither permanently harmeful nor is it addictive. but most importantly its usess are endless, from digestive issues, eye related problems, stress, anxiety, depression.
The list goes on and on. there is not a person alive today who couldnt benefit from the plant. i think that most people have a distorted view about marijuana, its not a privledge its a right. legalizing the plant doesnt mean every one has to do it. laws should be in place to accomidate the uses of it but i find it outrageous that anyone could prevent the people from a plant put here by god. we didnt create the plant it was here before us. dont know about the rest of you but my lords word and work means more than that of any man. and by no means am i a religious freak, couldnt tell ya the last time i went to church. no matter what your reason speak your peace its your right to be heard. get it legal
I’ve had enough of all this bullshit (weed being illegal) when is the government going to wake up?! Seriously, do you know how much better things would be if it was legal. The amount of money the government would make, shit man recession would be gone in under a year, guaranteed. Not just the money either, people would just generally feel much better. I’m sure you all know how it feels to be high, its amazing. Everything looks/tastes/sounds/feels and seems better. Depression, gone, anorexia, gone.
The only two bad things I find smoking it now are the drug dealers. Not so bad once you got a regular guy. But dangerous if you don’t. Secondly the paranoia of being caught. Both would be gone if it were to be legal!
Check out this opinion piece in Verde magazine at Palo Alto High School in California about the new ballot measure that may legalize marijuana.

i think those who cannot handle this drug should not be smokin it period. I really think that it should be legalised for those over 21 not for childdren 20 and younger some people just can’t smoke it they need to not get the government involved in this i really think people with it make it legal.
People of older generations take weed to seriously. I grew up in a very relaxed household where i had a lot of freedoms. For the most part i stayed out of trouble. However in the past year i was charged with possession of marijuana.
After spending over two thousand dollars of my hard earned money these charges are finally taken care of. This incident was completely stupid. It was bull shit. Even the cops in booking laughed and said quote “kid these are bull shit charges.”
But i couldnt help but sit there and think that weed really is not as bad as alcohol and thats legal and it does not even compare to other hard drugs which are horrible for you. Weed has been proven to have no negative effects on the body or mind.
People in our country overthink shit and it really pisses me off. Marijuana should be legal. it would help our country with our economic issues and we would be the suprising poster child for legalizing weed.
Other countries may see this and realize that its not such a bad thing either…anyway i really cant type anymore because i just finished smoking some of that amazing stuff they call marijuana. Now its time to eat…………let me know what you think of my opinion. everyone has one so lets hear it! LEGALIZE IT!
Weed should be legalized it hurts nobody and its a pain in the ass to have to buy it from a drug dealer and think about the risk your taking it would be much easier to just be able to walk in a store and buy what you want but obamas working on getting it legalized so keep your fingers crossed!
