Will Marijuana Become Legal Everywhere Eventually?

This belief set does not mean that, if I was in government, that my job would be to eliminate organized religion within the US. I would need to respect the First Amendment, and if for whatever reason the freedom of religion was not yet codified as a right, it would behoove me to recognize it anyway as a hidden truth. In the same way, the War on Drugs is morally wrong on such a basic level that no amount of moral truth on drug use can justify it; the core principle is that such morality should not be legislated into reality.

After being around those that drink compared to those that smoke, I'd much rather be around those who smoke any day!!!!

I'm against weed becoming legal because it's a strain on the health care system we have in Canada. If whoever smoked weed was exempt from free treatments because of their choice to smoke it, then I wouldn't mind it becoming legal, although not in public space (the smell is AWFUL).

Strain on the health system my ass. Fat foods and shitty fastfood are damn near an infinitely greater threat.

These are the types of far out counter arguments that people cling to.

I've been around all of them, those who drink, those who smoke and those who drink and smoke (the vast majority, lol)... none are doing particularity stellar in their lives. Marijuana wont eat up your livers, it will eat up your brain instead. You are just replacing one poison with a different poison.

That said, I'm for legalization, tho under the condition of not having to pay for your detox rehabilitation in the future. Go ahead, smoke whatever you want, just on your own responsibility.

really poor quality but to me it illustrates the major downside of smoking weed especially at a young age

So the question is, what about those who have a joint every once in awhile just to relax and unwind?

how can you saw that Sessions is not wrong? marijuana is almost as bad as heroin ? really? Nobody has ever been able to back up that statement with facts.........Where are all of the medical benefits of heroin that there are with marijuana? People die from heroin. how many people have died from marijuana. Hopefully you aren't one who drinks beer, or any other type of alcohol drug, because that would make you a hypocrite, just saying......I'm not saying you do drink alcohol, you probably don't, but I find too many people who are against alcohol have no problem having alcoholic drinks.......
