It's a good idea to put your own opinions in.
I know of the bad effects, and I know of the good effects of the drug. However, going either way in regards to legalisation will either upset the people using it for medicinal purposes, or make the drug use get out of hand. Therefore, there is no 'best' answer.
P.S: I changed this after posting, to clear it up after confusion. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh no! I mean as soon as we make it legal I bet stoners would swarm to it like moths on a light.
I never really like the idea of having pot legal. I know there are benefits but I never found them to be better the risk of addiction

I think I'd need to know more about the argument for having it legalized. I know there are arguments for it, I just have no idea what they are.
My current standing is: Harmful drug = do not legalize.

Well, as far as I've seen, there are reports that Marijuana is just as "bad", if not better than smoking cigarettes and drinking combined. If that's the case, I see no reason why not to legalize Marijuana, at least for medical use at first.
But the people who say we should legalize ALL drugs (which I know will come along eventually), to that I give a big no-no for now. Unless they make cocaine, heroine, ecstasy, ect.... much more safe to use, those drugs that can literally kill you in one sniff should stay illegal.

well first theres the whole 'not harmful drug' thing...Mewick_Alex said:
and then theres the 'no more money for gangs when you can buy it at a pharmacy' thing...
then theres the whole 'taxation= more money for the country and less spent on anti-weed cop raids' thing...
just a few of them...
It's a drug (even a mild one is one), why legalize it? It's harmful for you, so why would you use it? Well if you are addicted ofcource. And why would you be addicted? Because you used it. So it's your own bad, if you think it should be legal.
Ofcource, medical use is different. I'm not sure how useful would marajauna really be as legal medicine, so I'm not commenting.
EDIT: People seem not to get my point here so I'll add some things: I don't drink or smoke, I don't support them either. Actually, if they were illegal, I wouldn't want to legalize them. Actually, they should be illegal, but because of modern habbits, it's impossible.

I'm firmly of the opinion that all narcotics, no matter how extreme, should be legalized.
As such, I support the legalization of Marijuana. I also support the legalization of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and any other form of illicit substance.
If people are dumb enough to use these substances and get addicted, I feel no sympathy for them.
In addition, I strongly believe the government has no right to control what people do to themselves. And since narcotics do no damage to anyone but the person using it, the government should get the fuck out of trying to limit them.

Well Marijuana is basically harmless, far better then alcohol in any case and I see no reason not to legalise it, its a great stress reliever and relaxer. Also useful for schizophrenia.
You can smoke tobacoo before work and do just fine. But some can smoke weed before work and be high as a kite. Therefore how do we know who can handle the drug? Tabacoo is something that does not make you high and therefore theres no need to worry about empolyee A coming to work high and being fine and employee B coming to work after one blunt and just being stoned out of his mind.
Also taxes would be terrible.
So sorry, but no.

Cannabis has been found in any study before the ones commissioned by George HW Bush to be completely harmless, and yet politicians completely ignored them. The study that was done in the late 80s that supposedly found that cannabis smoke killed brain cells, was a poorly run experiment where monkeys were literally suffocated with smoke on a daily basis. At this point the prohibition of marijuana is purely so that politicians don't get branded as hypocrites and prisons don't go out of business.
As for the statistic of addiction, there are more people in marijuana rehab than ever before. The question is, why? Judges these days are offering lighter sentences in exchange for someone convicted of marijuana possession to go to rehab. Of course, they will take the rehab every time!
Out of all the drug tests in this country that are done for jobs and sports, the drug that is found on the vast majority of most of these tests is marijuana since it remains in your system the longest. The companies that make these tests don't want to see it legalized any time soon.
We have way too much invested in this bullshit prohibition and will continue to do so until people actually choose to inform themselves.

Na I don't mean in terms of the poll, I mean in terms of you don't think it should be legalized... but you also don't think it should be legal. The third poll option is "don't care", but the fact that you are against both making it illegal and legalizing it implies that you have an opinion,rather than simply not caring.Fat Man Spoon said:
I'm not trying to cause an argument, I'm simply asking for clarification.
Could you give some reasons for that? I'm curious.Agayek said:
Edit: Agayek - Fair enough, thanks for clarifying.
I am very much in support of the legalization of marijuana. I mean, hell, the results of using it are 'being lazy and overly cautious'. Not only that, but if smoken through a bong rather than a cigarette, it's almost harmless to anyone who's not stupid enough to overuse it (but all legal drugs can also cause damage to the body if overused). Compared to the liver rot of Alchohol and lung cancer of Smoking, I think being a little paranoid wouldn't do too much harm to the world.
