Marijuana should be legal, right?
I mean, why not? Alcohol is legal and far worse for you. I'm not sure how it is in Europe, but here in California you have to have a recommendation from a doctor to legally smoke and grow marijuana. But all you have to be is 21 years of age to buy a bottle of tequila. Am I the only one baffled by this? 🤨

Marijuana is also 4 times worse then cigarrettes. (sp incase?) Everytime you smoke it your lungs take in 4 times as much s**t as cigarettes, if it becomes legal, that is messed up!
Not true. You can take vapor rips which only burn the thc crystals and not the bad stuff. Plus, nicotene is far more contagious than dank.

Oh yeah, I can totally see that going over with my family, yeah right, uh huh(Although I'm sure if they legalized weed, they wouldn't make it legal to grow it without some sort of permit because then the government wouldn't be making any money)
Okay, if you have the recommendation (i.e. the permit) then you CAN grow it LEGALLY TODAY, in California. 😮💨
Marijuana makes people not care about anything. People possibly would never make anything of themselves the would just lay around and do nothing. I have met very few people who smoked marijuana and still held a job. They would always lose it. Then DUI's would increase and accidents would occur. The point being (although it is sad) that people are not responcible enough to deal with it.

Or, BBB2, maybe those people don't care about anything in the first place and it has nothing to do with the fact that they smoke weed. I know plenty of people here in Calfornia who do care and smoke it. It's really a harmless misunderstood simple plant in my opinion. I have a great job and a BA and I used weed all the time, not as much anymore, but I don't want to keep pushing my views on this subject. A lot of young people may be reading this touchy subject matter.

You do have a good point. Most people that I know that did it already didn't care.
My best friend growing up and his grandfather was murdered because of his drug use, and his problem began with marijuana. That is why the consequences out weigh the benefits in my life, and I will never do it. I still don't think it would be a good idea even if that had never happened. Think of all the people that get just plastered and drive what will happen when you add marijuana to that. Also if you do go to the Bar for a drink you will get high before you can leave because of the second hand smoke. I can't see the benefit.
