YESTERDAY'S POLL

Do you think the use of marijuana should be made legal?

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ Yes - As someone who worked in a methadone clinic, who studied addiction and who dealt with both drug and alcohol addicts in my personal life, marijuana is the least worrisome of all, and has been shown to be clinically useful for certain conditions. It is not nearly as dangerous as even alcohol is, and if legalized in a thoughtful, systematic way, it can greatly contribute to state or federal revenue through taxation.”

“ No - If we want to cement our reputation as a culture that's all about self-gratification, sure. Otherwise, if we, as a people, want to rise to the social, economic, and cultural challenges we face, we all need to do it with clear thinking, not with more folks "checking out" with substance abuse. Legalizing Marijuana will just promote further dissipation.”

“ Yes - Ask any law enforcement official this question; If you had two house parties directly across from each other on the same street - one house if drinking tequila, beers, wine and whatever other "spirits" you want to include - the second house is only imbibing on marijuana edibles and smoke - which house has the best chance of having the police called due to violence? Then ask yourself, why would one be considered legal over the other?”
