My granpda smoked for most of his life and his life ended at 89 years old... I doubt it is 5 minutes.

Weed kills you faster though, many young people die because of weed.

LOL @ alan, five different opinions hahah eh

How sad.. legalising a drug to make money off it, to solve issues caused by the stupid mistakes of government.

Then again alcohol and cigarettes are lawful and taxed so why should it be different for anything else.
Hypocrites just dig themselves a deeper hole by making excuses for their system.

Take another perspective, the sad part may not be in legalizing it, but the sad part in making it illegal in the first place.

A multi-million dollar industry, and all that money goes to drug lords. What if it could go into drug rehabilitation clinics, instead? What if drug addicts could be sent to rehab instead of jail?

The downward spiral that keeps poor drug addicts poor is as much from a criminal record as it is from the drugs themselves.

Hmm...That is a good question. No, I do not think they should legalize it. I think it is a very volital plant, that can do ore damage then harm. You would have to be under constant supervision if you wanted to use it for medical reasons. If you're not using it for medical reasons, I think that's just plain-out unethical...You could do some serious permanent damage to yourself. I study this kind of stuff, and there are plenty of other things that can help you medical-wise, other than marajuana.

Thousands in Oregon have been prescribed medicinal marijuana and not only are these patients not "under constant supervision", they find relief when literally nothing else works.

Medicinal marijuana has been legal in Oregon for a decade, and so far it has been a very positive program.
