The powers that be are holding out because keeping pot illegal is more profitable.

Its funny how those over 65 overwhelmingly support it.

Because they have an extremely jaded and flawed mindset still stuck somewhere around the year 1965.

If the 44% were told the truth they would favor legalization as well.

Like Prohibition, illegal pot has wasted tax dollars for enforcement.

There will only be one thing to consider. If alcoholics have AA...what will Pot users recover program be called. A drug is a drug is a drug.

Just another drug to go on the "Addictive" list. And, how do you use this one? By smoking it, of course. Hypocrites!

All you stoners out there should be careful what you wish for, it might come true. After pot is legalized the government will get involved and screw up your buzz as only the government can do. Decriminalization is what you should hope for. After legalization, if you sell a bag you will have the cops and the IRS on your a$$.

Grow and harvest 7:02. Takes all the black market out of it. It can be done in a closet, only cost is a little electric.

5:47 actually marijuana can be eaten, which many people choose to do. Eating it causes zero lung damage. Medical marijuana states sell "edibles" to patients.
