A number of U.S. states are planning to legalize marijuana. Do you agree or disagree with this policy, and why?
First question listed was submitted by 
kid_witout_care. (Follow-up questions, if any, may have been added by LiveJournal.)
medical uses aside (anything that treats pain and nausea is a plus in my books):
-apply the right taxes = more money for the countrys which legalize it and controls both buyer and sellers. drug dealers should pay taxes like any normal working person.
-controlled substance = less likely to be laced, better/cleaner quality products
-and really how much harm can someone high on pot do in comparison to someone who is drunk? if your high your more likely to sit on the couch and laugh at nothing instead of harassing or abusing people.
-statistically more people have died from alcohol and tobacco than maruijuana which has a record of guess what? ZERO DEATHS, while alcohol and tobacco kill millions each day and its perfectly legal and taxed and regulated. explain that one. everything in moderation i say.
i've always thought pot should be legalized, even BEFORE i tried it for the first time.
