Maraguana should be legal. It hasnt hurt anyone, I think they should put 21 as age limit like drinking, and tax it. Plain and simple it will help with the countrys debt. Other drugs are different they are man made maraguana is made from the earth nothing wrong with it. God put it here for a reason why make it illegal?

If marijuana is legalized then the government will line their pockets more. I say tax alcohol which is more dangerous than marijuana. Most that are convicted are users of maryjane not dealers. The real dealers serve no time. They just live in big mansions and drive Bentleys, own airplanes, etc.

I find it heartrending that Ms. Kehoe who has an excruciating mental health history has now come to be in this terrible place in her life. Did ANYONE explain to this woman, her husband, her family the likely hood of this very thing happening if she were to have children? This is a lady who didn't have the capacity to value her own life leave alone that of her children. Her coping mechanisms are not the same as yours or mine. Her inherent nature is to KILL the hurt and the fear. Please, someone explain how we keep coming to this horrible ending for the children of these sick mothers. I don't want to place blame but, the husbands/fathers are somewhat responsible for this outcome when children are fathered and then left in the care of mothers that are documented as mentally ill. She is not evil. She is very, very sick.

I say legalize marijuana and see how much the country makes on the industry and how much they save in the legal system.I Wonder how many billions of dollars they would make not spend.Or does the government only know how to spend money.I'm sure after you become a politician you remember how to make money not just spend it.Use the marijuana as many different way and products as possible.Not just for smoking.Use it in clothes,rope,sails,paper,etc.

Please forgive me, but I've heard so many people say, "she's so pretty!" would it have made a difference if she were ugly? Convict people on what you believe, not what someone looks like.

Research is not a means of concrete proof for any subject. I have read both pro and con results owing the matter. Research is subjective pro the researchers personal mores, never mind the fact of ’Who’ is financing the research.

Marijuana – or any of the vast monikers associated with it – may perhaps be classified as a drug… however, its classification akin to (or higher than) heroin is audaciously foolhardy! The such grouping allows for harsh sentencing – often not allowing a judge any discretion.

NORML has several interesting links on its site that I believe would be beneficial to any person wishing to gain a deeper understanding on marijuana, its benefits, the pro and cons of its use (personally, I am in agreement with the pros), the history of its use, and several means at which legalization of marijuana could be an enormous benefit owing taxations.

Furthermore, perhaps people would become interested on information regarding Hemp.

Look, why do we not see anyone trying to legalize crack or lsd? Because those are horrible, dangerous drugs.There most be some reason we use and want to legalize pot over exstacy and other CHEMICAL BASED drugs. We could set the age at 21 just like we do alchohol which by is much more harmful than pot is and in some sad cases can even kill people which by the way no has ever ever overdosed on marijuana. Aspirin is perfectly legal, but if take 10 of em it'll be your last headache. I dont see how morphine is given to people in the hospital to numb pain along with other addictive prescrition drugs that celebs and pop stars seem to die over every time we look over our shoulder. Ask anyone who has ever drank liqour and smoked weed and they'll tell alchohol will mess you up much worse than weed could ever hope to. Pot is not a "gateway drug", in fact it's not a drug at all, it's just a plant. But drug deallers don't care who you are or what your age is they'll sell weed a 12 year old as long as they get there money. If we legalized marijuana not only would we not have to worry about our kids getting there hands on the stuff, we could cut the funding our tax dollars are wasted on for trying to stop people from using one of the most harmless substances none to modern man. We could not only save money by not prosecuting those who only use marijuana, but profit from marijuana users by legalizing it and placing a government tax on it. I've heard law enforcement officals say they waste hundreds of thousands of dollars for one state we could be putting good use on there marijuana war that he said and I qoute "We are not winning". About 20% of amsterdams population smokes marijuana, while a little more than 40% of the U.S. smokes marijuana and we get thrown in jail for it! Why is alchohol legal when it is proven to not have any medical value what so ever and Marijuana is proven to not only be NONE LETHAL, but actually has medical value. I DON'T GET IT!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!
