Whether you like it or not, do you think it will happen?

Just because I don't smoke it doesn't mean it should remain illegal. I haven't done much research on the subject but apparently there are medical uses and if that's true it's one more reason to have it.
I say legalize it ASAP, tax it, and count it towards our GDP! However, there should be a legal "age", like alcohol and porno stores.

Its already used for medical use. Just requires a license from a doctor that allows you to carry up to a certain amount of it. There is not one argument out there for it on a medical use because its already legal in alot of states for that use. Like stated many times this is potheads wanting easier access to it.

I am for medical marijuana use. That is controlled by doctors and is no different than prescription painkillers - except the painkiller is naturally grown.
I have no problem with it being regulated like alcohol - I just don't see where you will have enoungh congressmen willing to vote to legalize it - politically, it is not a strong way to gain support from your constituents.
That said, it is illegal now, so if you want it legalized, you are going to have to have some powerful and wealthy people support a passage of a bill legalizing it. That isn't going to happen in today's political climate. The entire thread is useless as it will lead to nowhere - it's just potheads spewing propoganda - just like the other thread.

Bingo!
