then the goverment would make money instead of wasting it taking care of all the prisoners

Really dont think that it would matter to me either way because i am not a weed smoker anyway so it really wouldnt effect me.

First it doesn't seem like very many people here understand that the way our constitution works is that the states can further constrain freedoms but CANNOT give us more freedom than what is available through Federal Laws. That means that even though the states can make weed absolutely legal, it's smoke and mirrors. Under Federal Law it is STILL illegal and we can and will be prosecuted for it.

Why shouldn't I bring up drug testing? If it were NOT against Federal
Law, private employers perhaps would be more likely to give in to not
firing someone for using in their free time. However on the topic of
public employees, particularly Federal Employees, who work in every
State of the Union. We (yes I'm a Lazy Federal Employee) are periodically subject to questioning about drug use and if we would lie, well that too is not only grounds for termination but possible criminal prosecution.
Oh and all of that applies to everyone who joins the military as well, no matter what state they come from. For example Little Johnny may "legally" smoke weed in Colorado and then be asked when he wants to join the Coast Guard "have you smoked weed anytime in the last seven years?" Yes? OK go away Johnny.

BTW the US Federal government is one of the largest single employers of
the nation. Not counting our military there were 4.3 million Federal Employees in FY 2011.

I agree with you.

I'm just waiting for the day when it's legal everywhere here. It's very important to me

I don't know. I chose other because I'm kind of in favor of it being legalized. Marijuana is not that big of a deal. I know a lot of people gasp when they hear that, but really. It's not, to me. Most of us have smoked our share (I don't these days, and probably wouldn't even if it were legal simply because I do better when I'm wide awake) and it's not as horrible as a lot of people think.

In my area, marijuana is widely used. BIG time. I doubt there's more than a handful of people (ages 18+ if not younger) who have not smoked it. I personally don't do it anymore because I just need to be good and awake in order to do best, but now if I were having trouble sleeping, perhaps during one of my phases where I'll sleep for 4 hours or less every single day for a week, I would definitely smoke a joint... if it were legal.

I really can't think of a lot of negative points of marijuana being legal. I can't say for sure though, as there very well may be some negative things about this decision that turn up soon. Who knows, but I think for the most part, I'm for it. Hell, maybe the world will all calm down a little now! Less raging maniacs. Everybody'll just be all laid back and cooool?



See? LOL

Homemdade wine =

I am for legalizing it.

Uh NO! I'm having a drink right now young man.
