  3. i went to a parochial grade school and high school. i was always taught that god was the almighty creator of good and destroyer of evil. now, even though i have abandoned my christian beliefs, i have always wondered how a faithful christian, or anyone really, could stand by their opinions that what god created (what occurs naturally) could be harmful or evil. ingredients for other 'hard' drugs might also occur naturally, but have you ever seen a crack cocaine plant?

  5. yes i think they should legalize but they never will i have smoked it when i was younger do not do it now it is natural the hard drugs are chemicals they will never legalize it because it is a racket do you know how many people they lock up for this all across the country ?how much the prison system get a year to house people for this offense for each head, some of these people would not make this a year working a productive life.the dmv makes off of it you can be walking down the road get caught with it(simple)you have pay reinstaement fees sometimes drug school its all a racket oh but you can walk in any store and buy alchol and it is mind altering i have never heard of someone high killing someone on just marijuana and it is not a gateway drug some people do the hard stuff and never touch the weed.it should be legal.check out the offenses people do on alchol i think alchol should be illegal its all about the money i am 41 and from langley

  6. I think it should be legal since alcohol, cigarettes and all the prescription drugs with so many side effects are legal. I feel the main reason the government doesn't want marijuana legal is bc they couldn't stick their greedy fingers in for a total profit, people would grow their own. Also I think if more people began using marijuana, it would eliminate the need for many of the medications used for pain, depression and anxiety (with less side effects). I think of course there should be laws in place just as there are for alcohol, 21 and up, no driving under the influence etc. I don't think it should be legalized with a free for all mentality attached to it.
