Me and my friends think so and we're all disgusted at those who support something so terrible for your health and image. I wanna know if there's anyone who doesn't smoke pot that supports legalization for some reason or if it's true that everyone who supports it are just stoners who want to get high without getting busted.

I support legalization and I'm not a smoker, so you and your friends are wrong and therefore clearly all your opinions on the matter can be safely disregarded.

"Something so terrible for your health an image" But i guess normal cigarettes are fine, right? And no, i don't smoke it, but find that normal, regulated cigarettes cause far more harm than "pot"

I'm guessing most smokers here aren't going to admit to or encourage drug use any more than they would admit to piracy - it's in the TOU.

*shakes your hand* Hi, pleased to meet you :P That said, it is in no way a huge priority to me, aside from me slavering over added tax revenue from taxing it.

The only reason smoking is allowed is because people got addicted to it long before its shortfalls were discovered. Honestly, do you think if the first cigarette was made NOW, and then all the health problems were shown to the government, that he would let cigarettes be sold on the market? I most certainly wouldn't.

Honestly, anyone who thinks that smoking pot ruins your image or is any worse for you that car fumes or tobacco is way too into those stupid commercials

And I would rather associate with someone who needs that than hang out with people who cant stop texting, saying "like", talking about religon, talking about anti religon, or emo dorks.

Legalize it, tax it, end the resession.

I Support marijuana legalization and I know people who don't smoke it but still support legalization because they know how harmless it is. Heres a link to an unbiased website that debunks all the myths of mary Jane. paranoia.lycaeum.org/marijuana/facts/mj-health-mythology.html

Question for pot heads - would you prefer pot if it were legal and say... had a 75% VAT (sales tax), or the way it is now?

Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) adamantly supports legalization of all drugs and has never even taken a sip of alcohol in his life... and he brags about it.

i was 15 man. all of us were. im saying if the government decides to do it and keeps it pure weed with no bs than yeah ill support it. i.m.v people say that weed is a gatewat drug i particialy agree only if it was spiked with something. real drugs is what you have to do by adding stuff to it. for instance meth and cocaine alot of household substances are used. i havent heard a person oding on marijuana and plus in order to buy it legaly you have to be 21 according to california

I dont smoke and don't really care. If this was about some civil liberty or something, I would be all on the support wagon, but smoking pot? Doesn't effect me so I don't really care either or.

Me and my friends think so and we're all disgusted at those who support something so terrible for your health and image. I wanna know if there's anyone who doesn't smoke pot that supports legalization for some reason or if it's true that everyone who supports it are just stoners who want to get high without getting busted.laundryslave

First, there is nothing terrible about marijuana consumption so long as, with other things, it is done in moderation. I see no problem with a construction worker coming home from a 10 hour shift, lighting up a fresh bowl, and relaxing and soothing his minor aches and paines.

As for your question, no...I do not smoke pot and yes, I do support legalization. There are thousands of reasons to legalize marijuana and, as far as I am concerned, no good reasons to keep it illegal.

Here are some reaons why it should be legalized:

-Like alcohol and tobacco, it can be consumed in moderation and give the users a pleasant feeling you cant obtain from anything else
-Hemp, gained from the plant material of plants, is extremely useful and versatile.
-Marijuana can be consumed in smokeless form, canceling out any negative effects
-Pain relief
-Helps with some mental and social disorders
-Short duration...at least when I used to smoke, I got high, and the high was gone in a couple hours.
-You cant overdose on marijuana...well, sort of...you pretty much just fall asleep or eat too much lol
-Non-addictive

Here are some reasons why it can be bad (if consumed in excess):

-Slows down reaction speeds (though alcohol does this and its legal, so this is a BS argument)
-Makes some users paranoid (I fell victim to this and its one reason why I eventually quit; with that said, its not really a negative from a legal standpoint)
-Makes you forgetful and stupid (Ive seen this happen to friends, but it can be quickly overcome.

I just fail to see any logical reason marijuana should remain illegal while there are so many worse things out there (alcohol, tobacco, fast food) that are legal. "Why fast food?" you ask? Because I can smoke pot for 50 years and suffer no negative consequences, yet if I eat fast food for 50 years it will kill me.

Its mainly bad for business because no dealer is going to lace a 30$ bag of weed with 60$ of cocaine, but the user could be telling the truth but if he is he is dumb for smoking an unknown substance with someone he did not know....

usually its the roller of the joint that is to blame. This happened to me once and it was an interesting experience. I dont think Ive ever been so hyper in all my life lol

In the end, though, you got no one to blame but yourself because if you take a joint from a friend and dont ask or assume its laced thats your own fault. Lesson? Always bring your own or know the company you keep :)

On that note, I just want to say that many of you anti-legalization folks would truly be shocked at how many people, and how successful they are, smoke pot. I know personally of three doctors, two realtors, an insurance adjuster, numerous engineers at successful companies that build and design bridges and stuff people depend on every day...and they all smoke pot.

You could say that behind every hard working american there is a nice bag of grass lol

I can't stand people that are so against marijuana and have never smoked it. Though I haven't smoked in over a year, I used to and found it very therapuedic. This is the main reason I am for legalization. This is a NATURAL drug that can actually do people some good. Ignorance and government lies have demonized marijuana and it's users. I've stated this before; When big government figures out how to control and regulate marijuana so they can suck all the cash possible from it, it will be legalized.

Don't oppose something that you've never had the courage to try yourself, it makes you look stupid.

I haven't smoked it in like 4 or 5 months, if someone wants to smoke weed then they should be able to without any issues, it isn't harming anyone so I don't even know why it is illegal. The only actually "bad" thing about weed is the fact it's illegal, make it legal then maybe people will realise how stupid it was to make it illegal in the first place.

I've always been an advocate of marijuana legalization, but the best argument for legalization is not all the positives it can bring but the simple fact that the government or other federal agency has not given us one positive effect of marijuana prohibition. The era of reefer madness is over and our society has learned that pretty much everything the government told us was a blatant lie that flew in the face of even their own studies.

It's funny to hear how many people say how bad it is for your health... when really, it isn't.

But I support legalization. On and off smoker. So many people do it though. Every job I've had.. which has been 5 since 16. I have smoked with everyone but 1 or 2 employees.

I'm disgusted it's considered bad and illegal.

I can't smoke anything without severe pain in my lungs and throat, so no, I'm not a pot smoker... that being said, it seems like a common sense thing to legalize, regulate and tax.

I don't smoke pot and I on the fence regarding legalisation. From what I've read, pot is carcinogenic (can cause cancer) and if that's true then the whole "not bad for your health" argument doesn't really stand.
