Legalizing, or at least decriminalizing, marijuana at the federal level would have several positive effects on our economy. It would also ease strain on limited law enforcement and prison system resources, sending less people to jail for serious crimes related to marijuana. Legalization would also allow health agencies to better keep track of and regulate the kind of marijuana being grown and engineered in the U.S. Between the money that could be made AND saved by legalizing marijuana, I'm not sure why this wasn't done years ago!

Legalization correct unlawful intrusion. No where in the enumerated powers section of the Constitution is the Federal Government granted the permission to engage in this sort of meddling

Ka San

Absolutely! I don't partake, but common sense says it would cripple those supplying the substance illegally. It is very confusing to be legal in your state, but still be at risk of feds arresting you.

Carla Settle

Legalization of marijuana will cut the head off the drug cartels and reverse the trend of the highest rate of incarceration in the world.

Leta Johnson

Yes. It's great tax revenue!

Patricia Brady-McKinney

It is about time to legalize and decriminalize pot.

Why complicate things.

States should be able to illegalize it, though.

There is much risk associated with legalizing marijuana on the federal level, including expanded availability to young people. In states where the drug is legal right now, teenagers have an easier time getting their hands on pot and there are a rising number of daily/regular users in the 18-24 age range. This is our future workforce! Though some health benefits have been identified for legal marijuana, there are also harmful aspects to its use that, with legalization, more people will undoubtedly experience after either trying legal marijuana or becoming regular users.

There is a reason they are called " A safety-sensitive position".

Pot is not like alcohol. It does affect others in the form of “contact highs.”

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Kimmy Wasatch

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
