Seeing as the legalization of marijuana is a pretty hot topic these days (well, it has been for decades, but now its reaching headlines and news casts in a POSITIVE manner, as opposed to negatively) and everyone seems to be talking about it, I want to know: Where do you stand on pot?
I personally enjoy marijuana, but in a controlled way. I don't smoke every day, nor do I think that people who -do- are addicts or are abusing it. I feel that marijuana is a healthy choice. Yes, its mind-altering. I look forward to it be legalized. I smoke once or twice a month, and never a lot (possibly because my tolerance is so low that I become high nearly instantly). I also don't smoke alone, because I love weed for how it makes me giggly and social. I love to be high with my friends. I have no medical reasons to smoke marijuana, but I smoke anyways.
On a medical stand point, however - I CAN be an advocate for it working. I was in an accident and I couldn't afford my medication. But my friends "smoked me up" as often as was necessary/possible and I was virtually painless and would have the best nights sleep every time afterwards.
I think its a harmless drug. And I'm tired of the argument that weed can kill you. Any thing can kill you if you use it improperly, or in laymen terms - act like a total jackass and get yourself hurt.
Now, I'm a member and supporter of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and do everything I can to help the legalization along by passing along the word and even signing petitions in different states in different venues, and speaking up in different forums (like right now, except I'm purely just curious about peoples opinions). But I'm wondering where everyone else stands on it.
Everything in moderation, I always say.
Please answer the following questions (at your own discretion, of course. I don't want to try anyones feelings or upset people here, but I am hoping a few of you are open and honest and accepting, too):
Should marijuana be legalized?
If it should, why?/If it shouldn't, why not?
Have you ever smoked pot?
How do you feel about weed being a go-to ailment drug in terms of bodily pain, cancer or anxieties?
How do you feel about compassion centers(places that give out the prescriptions for marijuana to patients)?
Thank you for your time!
