I don't smoke it but - legalize, put a minimum age on it, and tax it. Stop making police have to bother with arresting people for possessing it. They have way more important things in this violent day and age to be dealing with. In an ideal world, the tax profits would go to help the homeless and such.

Exactly this.
I believe it has medicinal properties that people should be allowed to use legally. I'm trying not to sound like a hippy...
Weed is harmless. It always has been. It will soon be legal in all 50 states. It is a crying shame that so many people have been punished for having it or selling it in the past. Once it is legal, regulated, and taxed. It will seem ridiculous to everyone that it was ever illegal.
Cannabis Sativa being illegal is a crime against humanity for it has over 1000's of uses besides smoking it. It takes trees hundreds of years to mature and we cut those down for textiles and paper when we could be growing hemp which grows in less than 6 months. Not to mention all the fresh air it would provide and food to feed the world. Weed never was the problem, even the weed market is corrupted with growing techniques because all anybody cares about is money and blocking their emotions with getting high.
From the UK and of-course still illegal here, But i love it! After a long hard day at work it just relaxes me, i'll only smoke it after work never before or during.
I don't smoke it or any other cigarette's or cigar's. But then again I don't drink either. I can't tell other people how to live their lives, but anything that impairs your way of thinking, or even makes you do things you wouldn't usually do is something you probably shouldn't be using. I've been around people that smoke this and they all say the same thing. "It's harmless, it just helps you relax" but they don't act very relaxed. They're either all hyped up, they're out of it, or their eyes are near closed and they aren't making much sense and just want to eat. That doesn't sound like something that is "good for you to use for relaxation", just something you like the after effects of how you feel, just like getting drunk. I think they shouldn't legalize it. I'd rather not have to be exposed to second hand weed smoke every where I go.
It's not my business if you do it, but if you do, don't fucking offer me a joint like it's your obligation. I don't care if people smoke that stuff but I hate it when those tryhards call you a "****" for not wanting to smoke it.
