AB 390 - Reasons Why Marijuana Should Be Legalized

I'd like to choose a less-threatening alternative to alcohol and tobacco without being called a criminal.

 

I think that Marijuana should be legalized because not only are marijuana smoking "crimes" victimless and harmless; Marijuana could provide the government with billions of dollars in tax money and solve many problems. I feel marijuana should be legal because I enjoy smoking and use it more for its medicinal properties than recreational. I want marijuana to be legal so that innocent people stop getting hassled for smoking weed and I can smoke weed with no consequences. My concern is that the 71 years of marijuana prohibition have been an utter failure, unconstitutional, and inhibitive to people who could use marijuana for medicinal purposes, and the people who get arrested for any kind of use.

 

my concern is for the children, growing up we all know how easy it is to get marijuana, but near impossible to get access to cigarettes and alcohol, which is why i believe marijuana should be legalized and regulated.

that would keep it out of children's hands, as well as keep them away from harder drugs and violence associated with drug dealers and gangs

 

because we shouldnt have to live in fear of the assholes that think they're protecting us when they're doing more harm than good goddamnit. who the hell do they think they are tellin use what to smoke.

 

I think that legalizing marijuana will benefit us locally, nationally, and internationally. I feel that by taxing the buyers, the sellers, the growers, the couriers, we can add a significant surplus to the economy. We can also impact the prison over-crowding by reducing the number of marijuana crimes. I want to be able to buy a potent, safe, inspected product without feeling like I'm having to hide my actions. I want to be able to buy from a reliable retailer with my cannabis needs as his number one priority. My concern is the amount of time it will take to enact this legislation. I don't want ot wait two years......

 

I feel that marijuana should be legalized because the laws against it are ultimately doing more harm than good. The government is considering lowering the drinking age to 18 to reduce the amount of binge drinking that goes on in colledges, and the same should be done for weed too. Weed is less harmful to the brain, liver and other organs than drinking, and although it may be more harmful to the lungs than cigarettes to smoke the amount of weed that tobbacco addicts smoke in a day would be upsurd. People nowadays believe that if marijuana was legalized than we would become a nation of lazy unmotivated potheads which is just not true like peoples belief that if it were legalized that children would start abusing it more because it is easier to acsess. These are both lies shamelessly spread around our nation to keep it the way it is. think about it which is easier for a 13 year old to call up some guy and have him bring a bag of weed in 30 min or having to find someone 21 that your friends with to buy it for you?

its time for weed to be legalized. just as with prohibition in the early 1900s it only creates crime and mor problems to have it illigal.

I want to stop paying taxes to arrest people for smoking with themselves or their friends over the weekend.

 

I feel marijuana should be legalized because it is a fun pasttime that our foundng father's enjoyed!

 

I feel that any plant that was put here on earth should not be prohibited if it stays within its natural form and is not abused. It's apart of nature and we should not be denied it's positive attributes. I also feel that with our current economic troubles it's time to do something. Not only will it save tons of tax dollars that are wasted on the "drug war", but it also has an extremely high potential for pure profit to our government and our nation in general.

 

Uggh is typing with all the colors really necessary? I'm sorry, but it really makes me not want to read your stuff.

 

I think cannabis should be legalized because it is necessary in reforming this planet. Most people think this is just about smokable cannabis for recreation and medicinal use, but in reality, this is the most important issue the world faces. Not just the legalization of cannabis, but the full utilization. First, the widespread industrial utilization of cannabis can reverse global warming, stop deforestation, provide a sustainable, healthy global food source, and provide clean fuel. It can reverse global warming from its widespread growing, as it takes a lot of CO2 out of the atmosphere. It can stop deforestation by replacing products, like paper, currently made from trees. Hemp seeds are some of the most nutritional food sources in the world and contain all the essential amino and fatty acids. Hemp can be easily converted in to a variety of fuels, and because it contains huge amounts of cellulose and can be grown quickly, it is a perfect biofuel.

As if that wasn't enough, when the essential oils of cannabis are extracted and compressed, the resulting concentrated hemp oil can cure nearly any type of cancer (if not all cancers) as well as the majority of serious human disease. This would greatly reduce human suffering and revitalize the economy. You can learn all about hemp oil at http://phoenixtears.ca.
