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
@9DR7CCN2yrs2Y
I believe that marijuana should be legal for anyone over the age of 21. however I think there should still be consequences for using this drug in public.
@9VZR6FX9mos9MO
Yes, provided marijuana is treated just like all other prescription drugs. Doctor/NP/PA prescription and pharmacist dispensed.
@9TD4M5C10mos10MO
For medicinal purposes only AND if treated the same as any other controlled substance regarding studies, test, prescriptions, distribution, etc.
@7CW8MXN 10mos10MO
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
@93M4MJZ3yrs3Y
Only if all states have it legalized first
@92S284V3yrs3Y
It should always have been a state decision
@8ZPTBFP3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should also legalize, tax, and regulate every drug instead of criminalizing them
@8ZH4BM8Independent3yrs3Y
No, but we should ok the use of the chemical component for medical use.
Neither am i with or against.
@7CW8MXN3yrs3Y
Yes, so long as marijuana isn't potentially advertised to children (on TV commercials, within packaging that may appeal to children, etc.)
@8YJRPG33yrs3Y
Yes, but only if it is legalized in all 50 states.
@leftistlibertarian3yrs3Y
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
@8S4QZ9G4yrs4Y
marijuana isnt as bad as alcohol beer like ban those
@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.
@8NHSDFW5yrs5Y
Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses, and legalize, tax, and regulate it instead of criminalizing it
@8FCKV5D5yrs5Y
i think u should allow but if they get the drug they have to be watched 24/7
@8CM9963Republican5yrs5Y
Yes but only under the supervision of a doctor
@benzley91285yrs5Y
if it gets legalized it needs to be tightly regulated. though, legalizing it makes it a million times easier for people to abuse this substance. this could be treated similarly to alcohol. But if you give the American people an inch, they will take a mile. IF marijuana is legalized, then it is going to be QUITE difficult to eradicate, should it come to that. it would be a repeat of Prohibition...
@9BQVQ7PIndependent2yrs2Y
Not really, if anything I think more drugs should be researched and seen if they provide medical benefits or not and what harm they can cause
@98QHW392yrs2Y
Yes, but there should be an age limit
@92LNY2H3yrs3Y
Medical use but not until we have an effective test for impairment.
@8YCVXM43yrs3Y
Yes, but only legalize medicinal marijuana.
@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.
