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, so long as marijuana isn't advertised in a way that appeals to children children (on TV commercials, within packaging that may appeal to children, etc.)
@937TQM33yrs3Y
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.
