Here in Washington State it is on the ballot. There are some caveats with the bill though which will influence how people vote. They center around driving a vehicle. Medical marijuana patients are coming out as opposed to the legalization because it would limit their ability to drive. Since Thc is oil based it stays in the system for a long time. In other words........ smoke a joint today and get pulled over two  weeks from now and you would test positive. Until they iron out all the baggage with the bill it might not be the best thing for those who want to smoke it. I think it has a chance of passing but with some bad baggage with it.

I'll probably surprise a few...
 
I don't think it should legalized (too many dangers still, coz many can't handle it), but it should be de-criminalized (subtle difference)...
 
I don't favor selling it (mj) next to alcohol or cigarettes (these should be penalized TongueWink), but not allowing (or criminalizing) one to push their own consumption is only feeding the traffics and crime scenes...
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Government shouldn't be deciding what people can or can't put in their bodies, each person should decide by him/herself. All drugs should be legal. This is the argument for legalization that I support. But, again, there are far more relevant things in the world today than weed legalization (except for potheads of course )

A healthy advice, just as one saying "don't do drugs". But an advice it should remain

That's like saying "Let's legalize suicide". It's a person's decision to do the unthinkable, right?

Ah, that's just brilliant - the old reverse-psychology switcheroonie double-bluff - tell them to do the exact opposite of what you think they think you don't want them to do.
 
 
...and then pay them $3 an hour to work in an all-night convenience store. Cannabis may not have any lasting effects or be particularly addictive, toxic or dangerous, but stoned potheads are as thick as custard and just as interesting, really, they have the IQ of a house brick before it's been laid.
 
 
oh, btw - don't pick your belly button or your arse will fall off.
What?

Yes, exactly. (I can't tell whether you are being sarcastic or not.)

People who don't respond well to weed usually leave it alone or they wind up talking to the toilet. People who can muster it should be able to know when to take a break. I am not sure where the government has a say here... 

It's dangerous!!!! Nah, maybe if you eat 12 grams in one sitting and then by some strange miraculous feat manage to keep it all in for over an hour without spewing, then we might be talking danger.... Anywho - people should be allowed to do stupid things - as long as it doesn't affect their surroundings. That is what's called natural selection.

I think you've just come up with a great idea for a comeback album.

One, suicide isn't illegal. We just try very hard to prevent suicide.
Two, what the hell does suicide have to do with weed? Two completely different and unrelated things.
