Do you think weed should be legal?

My opinion:
I honestly think weed should be legal, i smoke it i enjoy it, i love it. It doesn't harm the body, as much as cigarettes but they're legal? Do you know of any harm done to the lungs because of weed? No.. The government could make so much more money if they made legal because of course they could sell it and tax it thus making money.

What do you think?

DEBATE TIME!!

There's numerous other threads concerning it. Just type in weed or marijuana into the search bar.
But yeah, I think it should be legalized it alcohol and tobacco is.

I think marijuana should be legalized for tax purposes. Not because it is "harmless" and "non-addictive" Marijuana is a drug just like Tylenol is a drug, and it should be regulated by the FDA.

If people are going to smoke pot even if it is illegal, then why shouldn't the government seize the opportunity to make some cash?

Right? Exactly what i think.

I'm against drugs themselves, i've seen plenty of people ruin their lives with a "harmless" drug like pot.

But people will still smoke.

Tax it.

I don't smoke it often by any standard, but i have been known to take a puff or two if it's being passed around. I personally don't know why its illegal when alcohol is. I've seen allot more people get hurt from alcohol than marijuana. Might as well just legalize and tax it. Save the money from prohibition, make money from it.

Even if it is made legal and taxed, people are still going to grow it themselves instead of purchasing it.

To move on is to grow, yet we can barely accomplish either on our own. We know the way to go, yet we follow those with their eyes closed.

Just how people grow tobacco and make wine. It's no different.

Legalize all drugs.

I disagree with drug taking and I always will, it makes little difference to me. People will still take it anyway I guess.
If it were my choice it'd stay illegal and anyone found selling it would go to prison. It's disgusting but I suppose it was was made legal then there could at least be an age limit put on it. Fed up of seeing children throwing away their lives on drugs.
Still...I don't see why it should be legalized really, it's like saying "Oh well people are already getting drunk and smoking themselves to death on tobacco, why not intoxicate themselves a little further ey?"
