Of course everyone will say Marijuana is ok. Even when it is legalized there will still be criminal elements surrounding it.

Stupid is as stupid does and there ain't no cure for it. Well on second thought I guess there is and he found it.

8:06 No there will no longer be criminal elements surrounding it because you no longer force people to go to criminals to get it. Alcohol prohibition allowed alcohol to be controlled by criminals. They made a fortune off its prohibition. Now that it is legal again it is a multi-billion dollar legal industry. Criminals in the alcohol business are nearly impossible to find now. Tobacco is legal and there are not any criminal empires growing and harvesting tobacco. However because of large differences in State governments cigarette taxes the government has CREATED a criminal empire in cigarette smuggling.
If you think Marijuana is bad because it is illegal, why don't you go to your legal doctor and get some legal opiates. You could very well die of an overdose. Do you know what other substances will give you an overdose faster than Marijuana:
Alcohol, Nicotine, Chocolate, Bananas, Vitamin C, Water and many others you would never have thought of.
There is not too much crime in the United States, there are too many laws in the United States and they are not enforced fairly. If I was put on this earth by God to be a free being, and he put this plant here too, I should be able to use that plant if I feel like it. Otherwise the Government is God.

Good. Keep drugs out of our country and schools. Build a wall and throw all the pot dealers and these new pot growers out of our country. Our President should reward these cops. MAGA.

10:00 AM: It is readily apparent that you have inhaled too much marijuana in your lifetime if you believe, "There is not too much crime in the United States", and that God put marijuana on earth for idiots like you to get stoned. Keep on destroying what remains of your small brain.
