I don't have many thoughts on it at all. Except for the fact that people can have 'fun' and live without dope.

Wow, look how much I contributed to this topic...

Legalizing it will bring most of the illegal drug trafficking to an end (in this area only). Dealers will probably only sell weed to underage kids who couldn't get it any other way. This will account for less crimes (not a lot less anyways, since drug dealers are still gonna be selling other substances).

If the government decides to not legalize it, they should at least decriminalize its possession in small quantities.

I smoke every now and then mostly just to calm me down. I'm not looking for a high from it.
And I do believe intellectuals can smoke it. There's nothing wrong with it. Only when any drug becomes a habit it is bad. Control is absolutely necessary.

However, I do think it should be regulated and made legal on the same level as alcohol and tobacco.

I do think it should be legalized and controlled, much like how it is dealt with in Europe.  

From what I read in Rolling Stone, it's actually been proven that study habits and intelligence aren't affected by marijuana use.

Honor and a penis.

I have mixed feelings about drugs overall and legality. Stuff like meth, opium, et cetera, that should stay banned. People can't be trusted with it.
However, softer drugs are no worse or perhaps better than alcohol in the hands of individuals. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be legal, other than that mass production and regulation would impair quality, for those who appreciate such things.

I think all drugs should be legal, just because I believe in regulation over prohibition. If a person is addicted to heroine, it doesn't matter if it's illegal to them. Instead of forcing people to be dishonest about their drug use, the government should at least be open enough with drugs so that people can feel safe getting help when they really ARE abusing them.

Making someone a criminal for personally smoking marijuana seems illogical to me.

I think marijuana should be legalized and regulated by government in the same way tobacco is regulated. It should only be sold to people over 18, with ID.

Legalizing it will bring most of the illegal drug trafficking to an end (in this area only). Dealers will probably only sell weed to underage kids who couldn't get it any other way. This will account for less crimes (not a lot less anyways, since drug dealers are still gonna be selling other substances).

It most deffinately should not be legalised , cannabis is the most under estimated drug around . Just because governments cant control traffic doesnt give it a pass into the main stream on the basis "oh we can control it then".

Do you have an actual reason why people shouldn't be allowed to possess cannabis?
