yes it should be legal
I am not a consumer... haven't been for a very long time... but I see no more harm in that than alcohol.. maybe even less.
Not to mention... if it were legal... there would be more fat people like me. ROFL.. just kidding.

I think we're well on our way to selling it in cafes in Canada. In New Brunswick and British Columbia, there are shops that sell it to people with prescriptions and cafes in Toronto that allow people to smoke up, just not deal . . . yet.

I don’t believe it’s as addictive as tobacco.
It will be legal as soon as the government can set the tax rate and is sure you can’t get it any other way.
(Rape and murder would be legal if they could tax it)

Yes it should be legal. Unlike alchohol or tobacco the drug itself has never caused a death. The effects of marijuana may impare motor skills, but so does drinking alchohol and alchohol can kill you just from drinking it. It's not as addictive as either other substances previously mentioned (alchohol/tobacco) and if agents of the law weren't so busy looking for someone rolling a joint in their back yard maybe they could put more money into things that matter, like homeless people or finiding Ben Laden.
I think if it were legalized to sell then you would be required to have a license to sell it. It could only be sold in appropriat places and the age on it should be either 18 or 21.

It shouldn't be legalized...yet. Here's why......
There is no standardized field sobriety method for police to use to detect its level in a driver's system like they have for alcohol. (Road side breath tests, ect) And if any of you need to know the consequences of driving under the influence, please, feel free to talk to me. I'm more than happy. Once they can enforce it like they can alcohol, then sure....legalize away. I'd love to have people reduce my tax debt in anyway they can!

In the wonderful world of theory, informed adults use many
mind and body altering substances to grow and grow.
In the real world, children desparately trying to escape the shit in their
lives fuck their heads and bodies with all sorts of things.
Those kids who as a rebellion are going to "step over the line" are
better doing it with something relatively innocuous (but by no means
harmless) like weed than the "Chemical of the Day".

In a word...yes. I don't see what business it is of anyone to tell me what I can or cannot take into my body as long as I harm no-one else.

And yes, I do have thoughts of my own.

I think that it should be legalised,for sale&use.Almost,everyone that I know has been smoking it for years!If it was sold in stores
(like alcohol)at least people would know what strength they were
getting.Over the years,I have known many "dealers",and people
get what is available to them.One week it might be weak&the next might knock you on your ass.By the way,there is a test now,
to tell if you are under the influence!I don't know enough about the test,to know if it measures how much is in your system.As a
recovering alcoholic&previous cigarette smoker,I think that it is
much less harmful to your system.As far as it being a "gateway"
drug,I don't know of anyone who has gone on to a "harder"drug,
because they smoked "Pot"! Irish
P.S.Sorry,for the long-winded reply.I feel very strongly about this.
I still have a 1/2 of 1/4oz. that must be 15 or more yrs old.I don't
use anything anymore.Personal Choice!

Darogle-
Welcome to our planet. LMAO What the hell makes you think your tax will be less. Have you EVER seen an additional new tax eliminate an old one?
Belial-
“…..Mellow, hungry, quiet, fucked-up people…”
I’m not sure that more NON-productive people are a good selling point for this. LOL We had 6.321 BILLION mouths this morning that were looking for breakfast,…. and I have a hunch they’ll be looking for dinner too.
I may have to rethink this.

Lovediva,
Legalized: Yes. Regulated: Yes.
The more liberal a society is, the fewer adult behaviors are deemed criminal.
Consider sex, and the amount of time and effort consumed in negatin the laws that prohibited most consentual adult behavior.

Diva---No Thanks!I'm the kind of person that won't touch it,if
it's there,but get nervous if I have nothing.The book-keeper
(where I worked)(also buddies roommate)was a dealer.I used
to buy a 1/4lb. of good stuff,from her.I would clean,weigh&
baggie it,into four oz.baggies.My other friend&his wife,worked(?)
at the Ports. Naval Shipyard.He would sell 2 baggies there,for $40
apiece.That way, we would each get 1oz. for $12.50.I paid $105
for the 1/4lb.If you know the right people,you can always make a
deal! Irish
P.S.American bikers,always know where drugs are!
