Maybe where you live but this is taken right off a government statistics website
"Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 51 minutes. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $59 billion."
About 30 too many, and many more people still drive high/drunk.
Legalizing weed is dumb but may as well make money off it because people will do it anyways, the fact that a majourity of teenagers and todays youth are only getting into political debates when it's about weed kind of says something
The fact people on here trying to convince us driving high is ok and not bad at all should also say something

I know it's a played out story but when I was younger I was diagnosed with "depression", and had the choice to take anti-depressants or just do my own thing, and of course I chose to do my own thing, seeing that I was younger and didn't give a **** about anything. Then as life went on I progressively got more annoyed and disgusted with things/people who I usually were fine with, no reason why. I actually reached a point where my friends even annoyed me when they weren't really doing anything provoking of such feelings. Then one day when I was bored I decided I'd smoke a joint with my friends sister, (I think in like sixth grade) this was probably when I was at my worst mental state. Afterwards of course I went through that, "Oh I'm tripping so hard" state. But as I continued to smoke more often I started to gain a new outlook on life, people started to notice that I was more happy and it made me more productive in school, mainly because I was constantly thinking about what would happen to me or my future if I didn't, whereas before I had sort of the, "**** it I don't give a ****, what's the point of all this", mentality. It changed my whole perception. So for you to say it's, "dumb" to legalize it is just pretty ignorant in my opinion. I know a lot of people that it has helped and you
can be successful while smoking, it's all in the mentality. Got me through middle and highschool, now I'm in College and everyone does it haha.

Obviously you've never been high, so I wouldn't compare being high and drunk, they are two VERY different feelings. Most stoners can function but most alcoholics can't function. I'm not saying it's okay to drive stoned, but if you can handle it then it's definitely not as dangerous as driving drunk.

Make it legal and grow a vast amount of it in USA and sell it to other country's like China and make them all high lazy workers while also getting money for selling it and then more money for our **** economy.
I'm non-pro life the less population the better!
Just make it have same rules as drinking and everything would be fine just no smoking it at public events like at a high school football game I hate having to smell that **** when I'm trying to watch sports.

China has more drug users, or a very close amount.

So many people saying that they can't wait for weed to be legalised yet they'd be too scared to smoke it even if it was xd
|
That's because most of the users on this forum are kids, and I think it's probably a good thing they don't do illegal drugs.
**** hypocrisy I know I was a bad kid, legal for me now though.

I don't see how it would be an inconvenience for responsible drinkers. If every drinker was like you and didn't go near their car until they were 100% sober, then how would stricter rules even apply to them? I can only see it being an extremely slight inconvenience of not any at all unless you weren't responsible about it.

It would be nice if people didn't walk around shooting each other either, can't just stop people from committing atrocious acts, drunk driving being one in my opinion, it's considered manslaughter for a reason.
