10 Questions Adolescents Have About Marijuana

I think that marijuana should be legalized. It would help the government out a lot. It would save money on sending people to jail or prison for marijuana crimes. It helps people relax, eat, sleep. People dont go and Kill other people when they are stoned. People dont go and steel cars when they are stoned. People dont go and Rape little kids because they are stoned. People look at it as a bad thing because it is against the law. But it's ok to take Pain pills and muscle relaxers and anxiety pills just because they are prescribed to you? If marijuana was legal i think that people wouldn't feel the need to get the pills, they can smoke and feel just as relaxed or pain free as if they were takeing the way more harmful, extremely for addictive pills. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AND THE GOOD OF THIS COUNTRY!

Personally I dont think pot is bad for you i smoke weed on an average of 2 joints a day which isnt that much but i havent noticed any side effects like coughing or itchy throat, ability to react or thinking ability i have gained about 15 pounds since i started bcuz yea it definately sparks your appetite. But it makes my self esteem go through the roof i used to be a loner didt really talk to anyone but now that im a stoner im talking to everyone, girls, guys whoever it just makes me feel invincible and i dont care what people think. and it makes me more aware like for example my ability to use peripheral vision is stronger when im high i could look straight ahead and pay attention to everthing going on around me. anyway this ones for the government, people are going to smoke marijuana whether its legal or not if they can afford it the GOV should just go with the flow and legalize it. like drinking Whiskey,Vodka,Liquor,Cigarettes,Cigars, and Chewing tobacco is a lot better for you. I know im just one person speaking my mind but Millions feel the same way i do so Look into it, go through human trials whatever it takes to prove that weed is good enough to be legalized thanks

no matter the adverse affects of pot it is my choice not the governments or the FDA's right to tell me at 31 not to use it so blatantly they need to step aside get with the program because i could care a less about the bad when it makes me feel good now walking can kill ya driving can kill ya bad food can kill ya alcohol kills so really its mi choice and not yours or theirs so legalize it and fix the old problems and learn how to deal with the new its time for revolution so down with our dictator government make laws that got something better for us like fixing our economy and health care system and terrorists and our over crowded prisons jails and loosing wars like the war on drugs dose not mean give up because i don't want to see meth or coke or acid or anything else like that but i want to smoke pot in the luxury of my own home and not feel like a criminal when i add to the economy and am not committing violent crimes or thieving it only hurts me and my own is my own i guess to the government i am not old enough or smart enough to make my own decisions

this is to helpkidssaynotodrugs. just because YOUR life got ruined and YOU made bad decisions, doesn't mean it will happen to any of the other pot smokers out there. i have a friend who is in her 50's just like you who has smoked pot for longer then you have, and she has a great life, a loving husband, 2 kids that love her and she couldn't be happier. just because you failed at succeeding doesn't mean the rest of us are going to. stop trying to make pot such a bad thing just because you didn't know how to handle it in your own life.
