marijuana, legal? Options

[ghjgfkgfk]

i know there this topic about this in lounge but i wanted only serious reponses, and i'm asking something different anyway

do you think pot should be legal?
if yes, what good will come out of it?
do you aprove people using it?
have you ever tried it?

i tihnk it should be legal because there is good that will come out of it:
*it would be safer. people would not have to buy from dealers where they didn't know where it had come from.
*there really won't be any dealers. do you see alcohol and cigarettes dealers on the the side of street? you don't
*there would be less pressure to do it
*while the police are busting the marijuana deal, they are missing the crack or herion deal over the next street (okay, that's an exaggeration)
they could focus on the bigger issues.
*taxes!
*cigarettes and alcohol do more damage than marijuana, but they are legal
*most people don't it to be 'cool'. everyone has different effects on it. some peopel said they do it because it helps them eat, sleep, foucus, and get rid of stress.
*illegal drugs are more tempting to do, well i think.
*free up jail cells

what do you think?

We're asking if Marijuana SHOULD be legal, not whether it is.

Here's another poem for you:
Jack n Jill went up the hill
and their friend Bob used some marijuana
The DEA found out, raided Jack and Jill's house,
And said "we're going to take all your property",
Jill said no and tried to run,
but the DEA agents gunned her down,
And silly Jack thought he had rights,
so he was shot to death too.

--The sad truth is that my poem reflects real life better than yours... Enforcing laws against drugs does more harm than drugs could ever do.
