The recreational use of cannabis has been legalized in 19 U.S. states and Washington D.C. Another 12 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands have decriminalized its use. Commercial distribution of cannabis has been legalized in all jurisdictions where possession has been legalized, except for D.C. Personal cultivation for recreational use is allowed in all of these jurisdictions except for Washington State and New Jersey. Proponents argue that marijuana sales bring in tax revenue for states and cut down on non-violent drug incarcerations. Opponents argue that marijuana is a powerful recreational drug that can lead to addiction and psychosis.

Yes, but make sure that regular people have the ability to own portions of the marijuana business, focus on converting black market salespeople to dispensary owners instead of incentiveizing the corporate takeover of the Marijuana industry

No, decriminalize the use of marijuana and drop all offenses/charges

Yes, both for medicinal and recreational purposes. Drugs should be decriminalized and instead of prison time anyone in possession of drugs should be evaluated and sent to the proper rehabs and clinics to treat their addictions and trauma.

No, all drugs, excluding those medically prescribed, promote degeneracy within the populous and lower the overall intelligence.
@99G6DHF2yrs2Y
Marijuana is a topic brought up to many but my point of view on it is sometimes it does benefit others for their health problems but others abuse it and have effects on them so I believe it should be more regulated by the government.
Yes, but strictly control where it can be used, similar to bans we already have on drinking alcohol in public.
@93NB23N3yrs3Y
No it should be decriminalize because legalization allows companies to profit off of it
@92N68R33yrs3Y
yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses, like marijuana, not hard drugs
@8R83FMZ4yrs4Y
Heavily decriminalize it, but don't fully legalize, treat more like casual drinking and less like hard drugs
