Marijuna like alcohol is addictive and can be destructive.

For anyone to think differently is obviously not thinking straight.

I do agree that Marijuana can be benificial for people that are terminally ill or in cronic pain.

Marijuana is very much misunderstood.

If marijuana was legalized so it could be "monitored, regulated and taxed" as a prescription drug for medicinal use only, I would have no problem with that.

You are much more likely to die from smoking cigarettes and/or cigarettes' side effects than from marijuana.

so do smoking and drinking but marijuana is the least destructive one in the group. far too many people killed or were killed by booze.

You will not find a single medical association to back your claim.

it's already worst by criminalizing marijuana. it has already cost us tons of billions of dollars and senseless deaths from drug war on our turfs.

Many celebrities take powerful medications just to relax and they take enough to kill probably 3 of me. And then many of them die from overdose in the end.

But this is a fact - you cannot overdose on marijuana. it's just not possible even if you tried. By criminalizing marijuana, people resort to pharmaceutical drugs that are very dangerous and addictive.

I should clarify. Under Obamacare, it would be standardized and streamlined.

It may not be as addictive as other drugs, but it is still addictive.

Like DC posted, it would be regulated and monitored. Just like other prescription drugs that warn against driving or operating dangerous equipment while using, marijuana would come with the same warning. Even on prescription drugs, drivers can be arrested for driving impaired.

Having sex while driving causes accidents, so do we ban sex?
Enforce the laws. If one gets pulled over and found to be high on something, let them deal with it.

It still does not stop people from using other drugs or overdosing on other drugs. Marijuana would not cut it for her. Like you said many celebrities take powerful drugs to relax and take enough to kill 3 of you. So how would legalization prevented Whitney Houston's death?? She surely did not die of Marijuana overdose.

Right, because there is no such thing as marijuana overdose.

You claimed that I was incorrect. It is destructive and it is addictive. Which in turn I showed you it is.

You grasping straws now.

Babies and small children die from it as well, from consuming marijuana that are left out in their reach.

we can simply look back and see what's going on here. if they're all dying from pharmaceutical drugs... why aren't we banning it then?

Because they are not following the directions of how to take the medication and taking more than what they should.. etc.

Improper use of medication is causes several death a year just like alcohol causes death every year. Legal or not if you do not use it right it will in event cause death. just like improper use of anything. Which is why medication have all sorts of warning labels. Just like anything else does.

It may not be as addictive as other drugs, but it is still addictive.

I happen to live in a city with a very high rate of pot smokers. I can assure you that most of them are regular citizens with good jobs and good homes and they do pay their bills.

There are many people who do not abuse drugs or alcohol that don't pay their bills either.

According to Psychology Today, only 9% of pot smokers develop any addiction and this addiction has been proven to be psychological, not physical. Most doctors do agree that it's not an addictive drug.

About children and babies...leave anything out that they shouldn't be touching, there are consequences. If on this basis that marijuana should remain illegal because they pose potential harm to babies, might as well criminalize every single product, including household cleaners, gasoline, paint, cosmetics, the list goes on.

Where do you get your information from? I'm curious.
