Id like to know where the EDEN community stands when it comes to the legalization of Marijuana, do you believe it should be legal? if so why? if not then why not? maybe your on the fence about it, explain why your not decided yet. I believe it should be, it helps people with different illnesses in many ways, but I only think Medical marijuana should be legalized everywhere, anything else is a no go for me.

This is actually a very tough issue to question. First, decriminalizing it would take a lot of silly strain off the legal system. It would increases taxes. However,, you would be opening the legal market for a whole new, readily available intoxicant. Do we really need Doped Driver Death counts added to our roadway slaughter?
On top of that, Medical use MJ is real....but maybe 1% or less of those getting it now are real "medical need" patients. The only "medical need" the other 99% have is the "need to get high" and they have a liberal or ex hippie doctor who is willing to write them a bogus script to do it. Just come up with a fully "no high" MJ substitute, that keeps the pain relief part, and see how FEW people ask for it.
Thus, there really are pro's and cons....oh, and let's not forget the fact that MJ is MORE carcinogenic then cigarettes. You know, the evil death sticks so many people want to outlaw???
