Legalize Marijuana (house, punk, doors, Atmosphere, effect)

even if it was legalized there would be some stupid age limit

I think it would be neat if the government regulated it just like they do alcohol. Make millions of businesses outta it to boost the economy, and create a whole new market for farmers. it's one hell of a cash crop. They could even tax it and use that money towards something productive. I think the main problem is that the anti-drug programs are selling their "gateway drug" theory, and the "common man" is giving into it. It won't be done, at least for a while.

That's what I always thought they should do too Hookers. They could tax it in the same way they do alcohol and tobacco, save a whole load of wasting police time as well as using the tax for something worthwhile. However; at a time where they government are trying to ban smoking in public places here, and promote a healthier nation in general as well as raising awareness of mental illness, it would completely go against the whole government mantra, therefore, aint gonna happen at the moment.

Yeah, I agree with hookers & sweet jane, I think legalisation is the only way forward because the government can't control it at the moment. If it was regulated it may cut down on the amount of users that shouldn't be using (in my opinion that’s anyone below the age of 18). I don't even smoke it any more, but I think I should be able to if I chose to without being punished. As for the factor about health concerns pretty much everything you touch nowadays has a risk factor, I think as long as you do whatever you do responsively you should have the choice.

I think it should be restricted, just like alcohol and cigarettes. Age limits aren't stupid there their for a reason. Anyway even if you're not old enough, the age limit laws aren't that effective, you can still get whatever you want.
The first time I ever got asked for Id was after I'd turned 18, never once before I was 18 and I used to go to bars and clubs and smoke (I still smoke)
