Is the Government going to legalize it?
Should it be legalized for medical purposes?

In the case of the woman I was watching the other night on TV who could not walk or normally function without it the YES, but there are far too many people who will abuse it so I dunno.

If people need something to ease the pain of an illness....there are other things they can be prescribed......its just an excuse to smoke it!  |

I think widespread medical use is sure to happen. There simply is no credible reason not to.
I doubt you'll see the Feds legalizing recreational pot any time soon. Perhaps in a generation.
Me, I'm against drug use. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go make another double scotch and tonic  ...hic

Absolutly without a doubt, marijuana should be allowed for medical use. There are so many bogus reasons for it being illegal in the first place. You can bet your botom dollar that all the big drug companies are lobbying hard to keep it illegal.
God gave it to us, why not use it??

NJ Tackle, Slingah, Yup, couldn't agree more.... been sellin' booze for 26 years, know all too well the damage, and down side of that stuff, on the other hand, I know people who been smokin chit forever, and don't have the problems, legal, family, or medical, of the heavy boozers, nicer folk to boot!... know one guy in his 80's that still puffs it...
Legalize it, tax the chit out it, cripes, costs more to enforce the "law", and it gets broke all the time.... know some people that should take a puff once in a while 
And if it helps somebody with cancer, or glaucoma, go for it!
me, don't do either no more......... too many other things to do! |

I say make it legal. I could be wrong, but doesn't the stuff grown for medicinal use not have the THC in it? Even if not, if it has legitmate benefits it should be legal. Can't do any worse than OC.

Nope, it's full of THC...otherwise what would be the joint, er a point?
What's silly is that they extract THC and sell it as Marinol in pill form. They are very strong. So strong you're pretty much a vegetable all day. With the real weed you can regulate your relief very well and stay as productive as possible.
Having seen a close friend go through cancer, and having a Mom who's severly debilitated by MS...I think it's freaking absurd that the Government thinks they have any right to limit what they can do to feel better short of suicide.
Perhaps it means some fuddy fat white men in Washington are actually going to have to think about addiction behavior and the messages we give our kids.

People won't have to go to Canada to save 80% on the script....its pretty much the same price in either country.
I think we have a LOT more serious things to worry about as a country than someone sparking one up, especially when someone is suffering through a chemotherapy treatment or from some other disease.
besides
Drinking + Driving = 20 miles ABOVE the speed limit
Smoking + Driveing = 20 miles BELOW the speed limit, and you'll start to slow down because the light is getting ready to turn yellow.

Dont see what the stink is about, just leaglize it. I dont understand why they bust potheads anyway, when coke and heroin are much more available and more damaging. Ive lost more then one friend to heroin and have had many friends who have battled or still are battling coke addiction. I havent had any friends die from smoking a lil herb, or out stealing stuff or selling there body to smoke a joint.  |

Legalize it...
It's one of those things that whether its legal or not people will get it if it helps their illness... like everyone else said, why cant unkie-sam make a few bucks off it....
Now where is my Pikie shaped bong  |

Thats another reason they dont want it legalized, cause it would be very hard for the goverment to make any money off its sale. Its hard to tax it when you can grow your own.

Wont happen cant tax it. You see that lil stamp on the bottom of your cigs? You know how much it would be taxed? You think an 1/8 is steep now, wait til they tax that chit outta that 1/8. Nope wont happen, they cant tax any home grown unless they make it a tax everyone pays yearly and that wont go either....I dont advocate its use either just arguing a point of view  |

Legalize it period. There are worse things, like alcohol. If they ever do I am going to invest heavily in Hostess Cakes and Drakes bakeries not to mention Nabisco. |
Why even try.........

They should just legalize it.
Did you know that herb grown in an acre provides more oxygen to the air than 10 acres of trees?
Did you know that herb can be used to make paper, clothes, shoes, etc and could make these substantially cheaper?
