For it or against it. Legalization of Marijuana is gaining speed....
It should be completely decriminalized and taxed. Imagine the revenue gain and don't preach about it being a "gateway" drug. There are more violent crimes due to alcohol.

"Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls Man?"
it's a pipe dream...
to be honest the same type of speak sprung during carters admin...
the only thing which really has changed is that back then you did time...
tricky dick was a tough hombre...
oinker ^-@-^ ~
Like Albany said, at the federal level it won't happen.....
but at it is possible at the state level.
I doubt that as well
If a state decides to legalize it, imagine the federal funding Washington can then withold from that state?
i would say no...
there is no way for something of this nature to be exclusive to a state in my opinion...
it's all or nothing...
one state may set different legal age limits than another...
but i can't see where one can and the other can't...

At the federal level?
I HIGHly doubt that. It would be nice to turn around the DEA budget and maybe use it to fight the global sex trade/female slavery.
You're probably right, but I don't see Obama standing in the way of....
states legalizing it. As the article says, California is the closest to legalizing it.
Why just marijuana? It's 30 times as addictive as it was "back in the day".
Why not legalize "possession" drugs (under a certain amount), and just punish selling such drugs, possession over a certain weight, and conduct under the influence of drugs, .... such as driving, child endangerment, etc.
booze is addictive (and destructive), pot is not....
just sayin' =)

If marijuana is legalized, it WILL be addictive.

That's a chemical impossibility.
Marijuana is a habit-forming drug. It might be hard for some people to kick the habit, but your body cannot physiologically be addicted to it.
Coca-Cola will take it over and add high-fructose corn syrup to the manufacturing process.
Then, it will be more addicting and make people crave more sweet, delicious Coke products.
Your assuming manufacturers will keep it natural. I'm assuming they won't.

So you regulate additives.

That would be a first.

I'm just for the legalization of marijuana....
The other drugs should stay illegal.
I'm with you
Marijuana is illegal and tobacco is legal essentially because tobacco farmers had better lobbyists--MUCH better lobbyists.
A chemist friend of mine once explained it to me this way: an ounce of pure marijuana will make you feel good, an ounce of pure cocaine will addict you, and an ounce of pure nicotine will kill you.
And don't forget ANY amount of cocaine can give you a heart attack.

My point was more directed at the idiocy of legalized nicotine.
Cocaine might give you a heart attack, but pure nicotine is pure poison. Its toxicity is comparable to cyanide, and one drop of 40 milligrams of pure uncut crack nicotine smoked in a glass pipe has a 50% chance of killing an adult. To put it another way, the toxicity of nicotine is so off-the-charts that the amount of nicotine a smoker ingests from an average cigarette is a quite nearly microscopic 1.5 milligrams, and research shows manufacturers would have to cut this level by an additional 95% for cigarettes to not be addictive. And that shit is LEGAL?
I know, just messin' w/ya.
