On The Legalization of Cannabis

[ICEE]

Of course, I don't smoke pot, and never intend to. But it's stupid for the government to make such a big deal out of it.

See, this is an opinion that I can agree with. You don't have to be a pothead to recognize that it isn't something worth making a huge deal about. To be honest, I doubt that the number of smokers would go up considerably (permanently that is) if cannabis were legalized. Drugs are something that cannot be stopped (Like guns but that is for a different thread) even if you want to. Even if they were banned entirely, people would still be getting them into the country just as easily as they are now.

I think that marijuana should be legalized for personal use, but not legal in public (for the same reasons as cigarettes are outlawed in public places, as well as secondhand highs).

Theres a time and place for weed. There will always be losers who get addicted to it and waste their lives, same as with alcohol, but thats no reason the rest of us shouldn't be able to enjoy it every now and then.

Just look at mexico and see how well that regulation and legalization is holding out.

Mexico is an awful example.
