Marijuana Debate - Jackson, WY

Legalize it, control it just like alcohol, and tax the crap out of it. Will there be problems including addiction, lost productivity, and even deaths? Of course! But the economic costs of those things are outweighed by the national and global costs of fighting it as an illegal crop/substance. If all recreational activities (yes, it's recreational - the medical benefits argument is weak) that had similar death and productivity loss profiles were made illegal, then skiing and snowboarding, driving cars on vacation, swimming, drinking alcohol, watching TV, eating junk food, etc. should all be outlawed.

I seffer from depression and can't take over the counter meds. I also suffer with deformed rotercuffs and the pain is unbarrable. I have toked up before and it worked i hope we get it cuz my family could not move.

If we just sat here and did nothing, nothing would happen. We could have every one learn the truth and stop the judging. The brass tax is that the federal goverment dose not want to diss band it war on drugs. All the money spent an this fight on MJ is pointless. Focks on the hard stuff. MJ never killed any one. Through out the acohil and tobacco for MJ. Tax it just the same way. It comes down to greed and who wants to stay rich.

In a 2010 report by the Common Sense for Drug Policy Organization, the American annual causes of death were classified under the following categories:

Tobacco Related 430,700
Alcohol Related 110,640
Prescription Drugs 32,000
Suicide 30,575
Homicide 18,272
Drug Induced Deaths 16,926
NSAID’s (such as Aspirin) 7,600
Marijuana 0 deaths

Before you start to wonder about the veracity of the figures above, you should be aware that no one has ever been officially declared dead from direct or indirect marijuana consumption.

Its needed by a lot of people who are ill Pills eat up your stomach at by the age of 50 alot of other ailments start because of the damage of pills with MM you can do daily task s with out help and be more self sufficientg

it should absolutely be legalized and in the next 50 years it will be legal everywhere.

I enjoy it for recreational use as well as for medical use.

it should be treated as alcohol is, and its far less harmful.
