Reformation of Marijuana Laws
Do you think it should be decriminalized, legalized, taxed heavily, etc.?
Being a psychology major (with a bit of libertarian in me), not only do I think that the drug is not harmful - hence why it's prescribed in many states for psychological disorders, on top of some physical disorders - I don't believe the government has the right or the need to protect people from themselves.
That's my view in a nutshell. Post yours.

I would have to respectfully disagree, Charles. I have seen so many young people gateway themselves into harder drugs with the use of Marijuana that I could never personally support it's legalization for recreational purposes. If there is a legitimate medical use, a prescription should be issued and the substance used under control.
Just my 2 cents.

People consider Marijuana as a gateway drug, I've known a lot of people who have smoked it and haven't turned to more powerful drugs. Furthermore, I've seen a lot of people drink and kill themselves with liver disease.
Its all relative, its not the substance that changes a person. Weed don't jump up on the table and make you take crack.
A doorway not opened is seldom crossed over. The downside and detriments far outweight the recreational use of the substance under examination here.

No they don't. I've known plenty of people who have the self control not to go out and become a drug addict.
Just because theses people don't publicly admit they smoke weed (because its against the law) doesn't mean they don't exist.
I would have to disagree, I have in my spare time volunteered with the local rehab centers and have seen on a regular basis what a gateway substance does to people. You may know some that don't have issues, I have seen many that started there and went down hill quite quickly.
Recreational use? I vote no. Medicinal use? With prescription I see no problem. The issue is abuse.

Well yeah, of course your going to see a lot of people that abuse the substance if you volunteered in a rehab centre.
What a bias view.
It is no more biased that the view that you presented, my friend.
I am simply showing you that there are two sides to that coin you tossed out there, and one side ruins lives completely.
