It can be grown...it isn't like they are going to run out.

If they are opposites, and one means "to make illegal," then the other by default has to mean "to make legal."
No, it doesn't. Decriminalizing would mean that, say, if the penalty for repeat offenders was 5 years in prison, it is reduced to a fine, or a few hours community service. It's still illegal. You just want to twist meanings around to suit your agenda.

I was speaking in terms of...making it completely legal if prescribed..as in..there will not be in punishment if you are holding a script for it...

Right now it varies from state to state on the punishments of caught with a certain amount...how it was bagged...where you were if you were selling....if there were firearms..minors..etc...

For example in AZ...if you have any amount up to an ounce (I believe)..and its not bagged to sale and your not in front of school.(living) and its your first time offense...you may only get a 12 drug classes, unsupervised probation and a 400 dollar fine...now with different variables..you can get up to a year in prison...and a fine of 1500 dollars and supervised probation for up to 2 yrs...with it being a victimless crime...there should never be any jail time...

I agree, in terms of possession. Like I've said before, if somebody is operating a machine or doing a job which becomes much more dangerous when they are under the influence of the drug then this should be jailable, or punishable in a way which reflects the potential dangers they are creating.

I don't agree with TheUsedToolGuy that it should be illegal to be high when at work. I think it's the choice of the worker and the company as to what state it's workers should be in. I don't see why it should be any different to being drunk, or being generally incompetent, in that it should only be illegal if its actually DANGEROUS.

It isn't generally in a companys interest for people to be high and therefore unfocussed and unproductive at work. It isn't in the workers interest to be in this state. Being high at work should be a reasonable grounds for in-company disciplining and even dismissal... but not imprisonment! Market forces would generally be enough to stop everybody from being high at work.

Exactly...anything that would dull your sense...judgement shouldnt be taken if you are going to be putting innocent people in harms way..while driving, while operating machinery, while working with equipment..etc...

I work where they do "random" drug tests...this is to keep people from coming to work stoned..so they say..but my problem with it..is..well..I like to smoke pot..I dont go to work high..but if I wanna go home..get stoned..I should have that right..but if I get a "randomed" then I could lose my job cause I smoke a joint two weeks ago with some friends and pot doesnt exit the system for up to 30 days..
