Do it

But the US has enough stupid people doing stupid things with alcohol that I shudder to think of the stupid things Americans do while high.

Probably the things they did while drunk

Also, marijuana is bad for your health. As in, screwing up your mind and body permanently during puberty bad.

Good thing the majority of folk who would use it would be over puberty

I do think a lot of people who want to do marijuana are responsible, but get it into the wrong hands...

In Colorado the rate of teens smoking didn't increase

I support Legalization. For a while it was the only substance that could get my Grandfather too eat.

^ best alt ever

Legalization (both medical and personal use) should be enacted.

Medical in that it is being used for legitimate reasons.

Personal in that it should reduce crime (worked in Switzerland) and that it should help the DEA by allowing them to divert resources more efficiently.

What? I'm not an alt.

he was pointing at cheesus crust

Allah is a misogynist. I am #BeautifulAtAnySize. Oink!

It takes 3.6 times as much marijuana to kill you than GODDAMN FREAKING WATER!

^ ban water.

No, ban cherries. 5g can kill if eaten wrong.

And bitter almonds.Those things are crazy

Here's the thing...

Medical marijuana I'm fine with. But the US has enough stupid people doing stupid things with alcohol that I shudder to think of the stupid things Americans do while high.

Well I mean, we could listen to your opinion, but we could also listen to fucking official documents.



Majority? Yes, it's outside of the 12-17 zone. But across 2 states, nearing 2 million every year, is that a number you're willing to say, "Oh! It's only 2 million" about.

What I think should happen is all drugs should be legalised, but perhaps illegalise glorifying or advertising them and at most put out government disadvertisments, like with tobacco But anyhow, form a banded stance, and don't be hypocritic, whatever you think is right.

Also, whatever you think illegal or legal, subdivisions of country shouldn't choose it for themselves, but have a banded policy. In the USA, the only country so far that has subdivisive policies on it, now states are wasting money down the drain trying to curb drug trade from other states when it could all be avoided (the interstate funds, anyway) by having a banded stance.

Majority? Yes, by far, and this is nationally, not in two states. And yes, it is a number that I'm willing to say "Oh look! Less than 1% of the population are underage smokers! That's swell!"

Anyway, this isn't the rate in Colorado, which stayed the same past legalization.

Also, if you actually want to get rid of the drug dealers and peddlers that make these things attractive and available to teens locally, legalize it all, and let private corporations mass produce cheaply to outcompete the dealers. This gets rid of a large component in teen smoking, availibility (going a block away and going two miles away are two different things, especially on foot), and presentation, here:
