If Alcohol is legal and socially acceptable(even thought it destroys lives daily) then cannabis should be 100% legal since its 10,000x less harmful and has legitimate medically benefits..

Because it is a harmless herb.

Tax revenue, lower cost on criminal justice, and a huge hit to illegal drug traffickers. What's not to like?

Decriminalizing marijuana is dangerous and could create a public health risk. It could even be a gateway to decriminalizing other drugs!

It's OK for medical purposes,but not for general use for several reasons: effect on children, especially edibles, driving dangers or way use of equipment, no way to measure impaired judgment etc. etc

We've known for decades that MJ leads to other drugs. Why make it easier to do that. I am all for Medical MJ but not recreational. I have seen too many stupid things done by people when high on it.
