Highways will be devided as

Speed Limit for Truckers 75 but expect 85
Speed Limit for pot smokers 35 but expect 27

I would say.......................

no

I am not and never have been a cannabis smoker, neither will I ever be, but there are far worse drugs around that kids get their hands on ( some, like Ritalin) can and does more harm to your body than cannabis would ever do and yet doctors would not hesitate to place children as young as four on Ritalin for the rest of their lives, despite being fully aware of the consequences.We have to deal with "Ritalin kids" passing on their medication to each other just "for kicks"

i think theres enough dopes in this world as it is

Yes, but only when alcohol is abused. You can drink alcohol w/o getting drunk and its illegal to be drunk in public. You can't really smoke pot w/o getting high.

Well, I've seen plenty of people in bars really drunk. Plenty of drunken fights too. When have you seen stoners in a fight? Belligerent stoners? I don't think so. Mellow, bring it on.

Absolutely, YES!!!!

Sin Tax it and use that tax money for a wide variety of gov't spending including the war(s) effort. No since in not garnering the untaxed money from marijuanna sales that WILL happen everyday in this country for as long as the plant exists.

This is exactly why i say yes too !!!

In a bar is not considered in public. If you are caught walking the street drunk you can be arrested. If you want to have the same rules for pot go a head. No driving high, no being in public high, no selling it to minors. If all thats the case whats the point. I mean the people that want to sit home and smoke it can already do that.

Missy, you are my twin. Love the new pic.

One problem is you can't take a bag to the lake to light up and kick back while camping. Can't travel with it even when not getting blazed....very inconvenient.

But that's the point...you can sit home and smoke it, but it's still illegal. If you get busted, you're done. But you can get ****-faced plastered at home and that's ok...even though many domestic situations arise out of just that.

That has more to do with the person drinking the alcohol than the alcohol itself. I know plenty of people that are not violent when drunk. The fact of the matter is that alcohol can still be consumed without being drunk, the same can't be said for pot.

Great points pros and cons I just say that the friends I have that smoke the stuff are extremely responsable people with jobs and family's of which they smoke around neither. What these people go through to buy the stuff is sometimes crazy. I agree Chazter, we would need rules just as with any other mind altering substance and like Krupa said Sintax the hell out of it.

heck no...i dont want to walk by everyone that does pot and have to smell it..at least tey try and cover the smell

But then again I'm just a drug crazed pothead...

No. The smell of pot smoke is even more irritating then cigarette smoke. JMO.

Yes. It's no worse for you than alcohol, cigarettes, and prescription medicine. There are cancer patients that smoke it to help relieve the pain. It's also a natural muscle relaxer. I don't see anything wrong with coming home from work after a hard day and having a smoke.

Granted there will always be people that abuse it. But people abuse alcohol, cigarettes, prescriptions, etc.. What's the difference really? There will always be people that will abuse just about any privilage they have.

Kids have access to it now. So you think that it would be worse for them to get their hands on MJ or search through house hold items trying to find a way to get high? Kids are going to do these things whether you like it or not.

The point is, you have the right to choose to be a drunk and prescription drug addict. Why not have the right to choose whether or not you want to be a pot head? It's the same difference.

They haven't legalized MJ because they haven't figured out a way to tax it yet. Also they haven't found a way to test for it when you're on the road. They cannot just take you to the police station and make you piss in a cup. It just doesn't work that way. They need a quicker way to test for it. They have the breathalyzer for alcohol and that is very quick.
Legalizing this would free up some of the prisons. I think it's silly to put MJ users in prison. It's a waste of taxes and time.

I have a feeling we will begin to see fines instead of a criminal record. They are trying to get at least 10% of every county in my area to sign a petition to bring it up in the vote. If you have less than an 8th of an ounce you will get a fine of such in such amount instead of a misdemeanor.

MBD~ Don't forget about the "early braking lane"....

I say no, only because I know VERY few people who can handle it and have it not impact their lives negatively. I also know people who use and it makes no real difference in their life.... but really only two or three I can say that about with true conviction. Fact is, I think ETOH should be more highly regulated. And I'm a liberal....
