While I don't, nor have ever used, just not interested, It's really safer then Alcohol and Tobacco, and I'd rather it be legal and regulated and generating tax income, then illegal, unregulated, and generating tax expense.

Only stupid one here is you if you think using marijuana the correct way makes people stupid. So many ignorant and uneducated people in this thread it's not even funny anymore. Marijuana, used correctly only enhances the individual, make then more open to themselfs and their enviorment, the TOTAL opposite of what you wrote. I posted some videos some pages ago, do yourself a favour and educate yourself before posting total horseshit.
I don't care if it's legal or not, smoked some pot when I was a bit younger, but after an acid trip, I thought about it a bit and got really bored of it. You laugh and get paranoid sometimes, well, there are better things.
Since then I never touched weed again, but I have some friends who stil smoke pot, but I dont give a fuck
I'm right there with you. I don't use any longer, back in the late teens, early twenties, I partook often, but it was just something I grew out of.
Honestly though, legalize it, start swapping the over subsidized farming industry over to it, and tax the hell out of the stuff.
When you realize the rest of the cannabis plant is a better source for bio-fuel than soy, and can used to make a number of textile goods it turns into a very lucrative crop.
Plus you get the increased tax revenue from selling legalized buds, the decrease in expenditure for legal matters and incarceration and the decrease in money being sent to cartels and kingpins in foreign countries.
While people may argue the moral standpoint of its legalization, from a fiscal and geopolitical view it is rather absurd to not legalize and regulate it.
Oh dear god, why am I just NOW seeing this video? The DEA can't FIND any reason why it should be illegal other than "it's an addictive substance," so they use parent/teacher "broken record" technique of just repeating themselves to wear down the questioner. Oh lord, ALL this says to me is that the DEA has NO standing to say "pot is bad." Oh lawd.

I'll take the personal experiences of my uncle and brother using it and my uncle deciding he could fly and jumping off a building than your video. Not all experiences are the same, and no matter what you say, it can be harmful. If it enhanced the user, the army would be using it, why not? They use everything else to enhance the soldiers to be more focused.

I literally got a fever of 102 from just reading your comment. I feel like I have the flu now. Not sure if its coincidence but what you said is absolutely sicking. Thanks for making me ill.
So you want government to harass people for abusing themselves when they are not harming others. and no that bullshit about going to prison for smoking will only enrage people. I think people and the likes of you should mind your own business. People who smoke pot do not suffer serious harm (unless under 21-26 and they get their brains development slowed/damaged), a pot smoker who is MINDING HER/HIS own business "abusing" her/his own body IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Edit: also many RAPISTS don't even go to prison for 10 years.
Legal, 18, taxed. All that jazz.

I would even go a step further and make it 30+ considering the Average American below that age is about as mature/intelligent as a 13yo schoolgirl.
Besides I think everyone needs to spend a few years putting in an honest effort at bettering themselves before throwing their arms up and smoking marijuana which is the real world equivalent to the fukitall pill or the adult version of Ritalin.

The only people who would be willing to pay the tax is people who didn't start smoking it until after it is legalized.
The rest of us would never accept a mass produced pot as it would be an inferior product, though I guess after 20-30 years people would forget about the good stuff and just buy the mass produced shit because they dunno any better.
