lagalize pot!!!!! and tax the hell out of it!!!!! Alcohol in my opinion is far more damaging than pot!!!! as far as hard core manmade sshhiitt like crack and meth-- no way

here is where I'm torn. I don't think anything that impairs your judgement should be legalized, however, where does that leave alcohol? I don't know if it is because I grew up with alcohol NOT being and illegal substance or if it's because I know how to drink responsibly...

I'm really torn on this one

How many stories have you heard where someone high on ONLY weed got into a car and killed theirself or others???????????

Now how many have you heard about alcohol?????

It's true, however, from personal experience (not many, but enough to know) my judgement is more effed up when I've smoked than when I've had a drink.

In my experience, I never think i can do things like drive when ive been on weed, i just get hungry and sleepy...
sometimes when i drink i feel like im top of the world and can do anything!! ive definately (in my much younger years) did stupid craap, like slept with guys i didnt know and driven while being drunk....
this is just my opinion, and i often think about how f'd up it is that alcohol is legal but pot is not... also ive gotten really f'd up on prescription drugs!! not that any of these things are 'right' but how can our government condone one but no others....

def. legalize pot ... they might as well so many people do it and its not like you can over dose on weed!!!!! ... the govermnet might as well make money off it ... though i am sure if they did legalize and tax it you will still have people dealing it on the side for a cheaper price ... i dont think people should dirve on it though i have dont it... its def. less worse than alcohol

I am against it

the whole pot thing uhmmm i understand taxing it to make money but still how does a parent tell their kid not to smoke pot but meanwhile its legal so why would they think its wrong to do. We say legalize pot, but would you want your kid to do it when hes a teenager?

if its for medical reasons then obviously thats different but theyre also able to smoke it if its for that reason.

well if the legalize it could be like cigs have to be 19 and older to buy it!!! ... parents tell kids now a days not to smoke cigs and they do it so whats really the diffrence ...

its been proven that cigarettes are far more harmful to our bodies than pot as well again, none of these things are 'right' to do....but god our country is so hypocritical!

i'm against it, but i've never done drugs in my life (um, including smoke pot). i agree that it's a little weird with alcohol b/c i've done some stupid shiiit after drinking - which is why i never did drugs

because its harder to prove how bad it is for you when its legal...exactly cigarettes are legal so thats why its hard to tell kids not to do it especially when so many ppl do, its not illegal, the parents might even do it.

any high school you'll pull up to you'll find TONS of kids smoking cigarettes, even jhs sadly you'll see this. It doesn't make it right

I vote to ban alcohol again then... why are there bars in the middle of nowhere that people have to drive to?
Anyone else from a small town lose 4-5 people from their high school class from drunk driving?
