Dear fellow forum members,

Because it would be too difficult to tax if it was legal to grow your own.
To: me_a_republican
Because it is fun to smoke.

Zero.
So many violations of our constitutionally protected rights (the major one being the 4th amendment) are conducted under the guise of this inane War on Some Drugs...

Um, do a google search on the negative effects of marijuana. Why should anyone here do your work for you?

There are no reasons. Wasting police resources on catching people for possession of a plant is an abomination.

I suspect our little troll will be surprised to find out quite a few conservatives aren’t necessarily against legalizing marijuana.
To: me_a_republican
Cough, cough, uh, dude, uh,uh, I really don’t remember. What did you ask?
To: me_a_republican
My biggest concern is that pot has an equivalent intoxication effect as alcohol but it's ease of production (anyone could easily grow it) would make it all but impossible to enforce any restrictions, like age limits.
It would have way too easy access to minors, who do not have the maturity to make that type of choice. That is why we have age of consent laws. With other age appropriate things and activity, we have ways to monitor and restrict age limits.
To: SoldierDad
Do a google search on the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco. And then go to your local convenience store and report back on the availability of those two substances.

Take it from a guy that was arrested with 6 grams of pot. It cost me 6,000 dollars and my 2nd and 4th amendment rights for a year. Pot prohibition is like welfare for the state. How many lawyers, coucilors, judges and police would be out of work? Under probation, I smoked no pot, nearly drank myself to death, but that is taxed and legal so it is OK.

Best reason to make it legal is to piss off all the people against it.
