All drugs should be legal. We waste, too much money on the ongoing enforcement of our failed drug laws.
Personally, I don't care what you put in your arm or up your ass! That's Liberty! However, your freedom ends, where mine begins and vice-versa.
If you behave irresponsibly, because of your drug use, and cause harm to another... you will lose that liberty.
Tax and control ALL drugs, just as we do nicotine and alcohol.
All these methods of self-medication, are simply natures way of culling the herd. The weak and addicted should be left to die in their loved ones care... and expense!
Take responsibility for yourself.

Salvia can induce a deep state of psychosis similar to that of mushrooms and yet it's still legal and widely distributed. Marijuana on the other hand has a much more mild effect that can last for hours yet it's illegal. Comparing the two, they both impair your sense of judgment and the ability to operate machinery such as a car yet users of Salvia have no legal pressure while Marijuana users flee at any sign of law enforcement. Why is Salvia legal yet Marijuana is still illegal in the United States?

Its to make more money
i used to smoke alot of weed but got tired of it.
it should not be illegal.
(to keep a long answer short; because the government can't profit of marijuana)
William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.
Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: '...'

And lastly, for those of you who say "legalizing cannabis sends the wrong message to children", all I can say is: What a cop out. The truly wrong message is that it is OK for the government to lie! And as for damage to the children of cannabis users, I would like to point you to a study done in Jamaica in the 1980's that determined that babies born to cannabis users tested BETTER on evaluations at 30 days of age than babies born to non-cannabis users.
And guess what, when a five year follow-up showed that these cannabis drenched children were doing just a well as children unexposed to cannabis, (thank you very much) NIDA defunded the study.
I hope this makes some of you want to insist that the truth be told, and acted upon. I am asking you to write to or call your elected representatives, and tell them what you have found out, and demand a change.
You should also know, that very ill people who use cannabis as medicine are being arrested each day, or live in fear of being arrested. This is what is truly criminal.
if you think you can change my mind save your energy.
