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.

They could maybe have it for medically but otherwise its up to the state. I do not have an opinion on it.
@9DWCC782yrs2Y
Doesn't matter, government should not be involved in the decision
@B62GP363mos3MO
Yes, nonviolent criminals charged with marijuana charges should be released and the marijuana should be monitored to keep it safe from “lacing”
@7CW8MXN 1yr1Y
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.)
@96GN3WL3yrs3Y
yes but tax the hell out of it make it super expensive
@8ZH4BM8Independent4yrs4Y
No, but we should ok the use of the chemical component for medical use.
@7CW8MXN4yrs4Y
Yes, so long as marijuana isn't potentially advertised to children (on TV commercials, within packaging that may appeal to children, etc.)
@leftistlibertarian4yrs4Y
No ,but decriminalized drugs in order to decrowd prisons and help people get back on their feet
I really don’t care about this subject
@8PH32BL5yrs5Y
Yes but give it the same laws that achohol has and send anyone convicted of crimes caused by the influence of marijuana to rehabilitation instead of jail and decide the legality of marijuana at state level
@8PFP5SQ5yrs5Y
Treat marijuana like achohol is treated.
@98QHW393yrs3Y
Yes, but there should be an age limit
@8NS92FV5yrs5Y
Yes, but never in public. It should be regulated the way alcohol is regulated, with similar laws limiting use during certain activities such as driving. Also, increase government funding for rehabilitation centers
@7MKJ4WC3yrs3Y
Yes, with proper regulation at the state level. Medical use should be prioritized.
