speaking from experience,Ive drove drunk never hurt anyone thank god.i got pulled over and got a dui ten years ago.that was enough for me i really don’t like handcuffs.but the effects of alcohol are much different than pot.i got pulled over for speeding .you feel ten feet tall and bullet proof.pot on the other hand makes driving suck, takes forever to get anywhere you really don’t want to deal with strait people its a buzz kill.id much rather stay on the couch.prohibition should be abolished because it makes otherwise law abiding citizens criminals.the effects of stress on people is very destructive .pot is a great stress reliever.the goverment spends lots of money overseas fighting the drug war.we could use the resources(cops and courts,jails)for dealing with terrorism and securing our boarders.courts could focus on white collar crimes that seem rampant.while some escape drugs are legal and others are not is hypocrisy.pot could be taxed which could help fund health care.if it was legal it would take the money out of it for smugglers and gangsters.Obama and bush have admitted to using illeagle drugs they just didn’t get caught .many people have gotten caught and have to put it on their resume every time they look for a job.Ive had to quit smoking it cause the random test at work .all the chemical drugs get out of your system before pot does it only takes about week for coke but pot takes a month which is unfair.they cant even make a test to tell if your high now only if you’ve been high two weeks ago.potheads don’t want hurt anyone they want peace love and rock and roll.it probably wont get legalized cause if a bunch of potheads get together it turns into a concert.potheads just hope and pray that one day to get high without fear of losing your job ,kids,reputation.cause you want kick back laugh at silly stuff and relax in peace.Ive smoked pot for over twenty years and held a job and have committed no other crimes.it would be nice not to see cops as the enemy but a public servant there to protect and serve.and be able to thank them for the job they do instead of wondering if their going to search your car for any evidence of dope.we do have alot of other problems bigger problems so why waste time and resources dealing with potheads .let me buy it and smoke it legally ill pay taxes on it i do on cigarettes which should be illeagle but I’m hooked on those cant seem to quit much more addictive than pot.but its big business cant be stopped.pot cant be legal but cigarettes cant illegal.its a shame on this country.god bless America

You know, Congress tried to outlaw drinking once and what happened?
People still drank. Prices of illegal beer went through the roof. Who made money? Underworld beer distributors.

I’d support legalizing marijuana. I really don’t see how it is any worse than alcohol.

Maybe they should allow weed and make alcohol illegal. You can’t even overdose on weed. Impossible. While a drink to many and you may not wake up.

you bring up a good point…
thats why there are good and bad sides to legalizing the drug
BAD: health risks, driving accidents, and a bunch of ppl being high
GOOD: TAXATION!-our govt could regulate the growth and sale of the drug, also, the use of the drug could go down, think about it high schoolers wudnt be doing nething to badass by doing it and even though ther wud obv b age limits i think the use wud go down. another thing is that organzied drug dealers and other crime orgs would loose power
