Sure, but I think there should be strict rules along with it. I also think we should be way more strict with alcohol. Really, anything that can alter perception should not be taken lightly. If you're somewhere that you don't plan on leaving for a long while (like your house) then go wild. Can't do anyone but yourself any harm by sitting on your couch getting high/drunk, so whatever. But if you're going to go out somewhere, drive, go to work etc., there needs to be some serious enforcement.

Cigarettes are extremely unhealthy, but they don't alter your vision or render you incapable of walking straight.

Rather have it legalized so these police can focus their attention on the more serious drugs that actually make people rob and kill others for.

Weed is like the hot topic in every school. Sure I like weed but I just dislike the convos about in school.

Society is strict enough with alcohol, the issue is always the few ****tards who drink and then decide to drive or operate things they really shouldn't be.

And being high on weed, you can easily drive normal. If ur drunk tho it's just bad don't ever. Idk why alcohol is legal and weed is not D;

Uh you might think you'd be able to but you shouldn't. People also think they can drive drunk. Some say they can even drive better drunk or high. Imo if your perception is altered in any way, stay tf away from your car or any machinery for that matter. Be responsible. There's nothing that ticks me off more than drunk/high drivers. It's just safer for yourself and the people around you if you drive sober.

Tbh I think the world would be a better place if bars didn't have, or were near, parking lots... Or maybe not exist at all. Why give people the opportunity to drive somewhere to get drunk only to have them drive back home after.

All the more reason they should be more strict. Alcohol isn't necessary for life. People don't need it. The only reason people drink it is (I assume) because of the buzz or to get drunk...or I guess because it somehow actually tastes good to them.

I don't care what people do by themselves away from other people. If you're at home or something I couldn't care less how high or drunk you get. It's when people decide to put other lives at risk thinking they can do something that they shouldn't be doing until they're sober. Imo alcohol doesn't have a single benefit. Weed, however, I've read helps with diseases... But I mean it's still smoking and it's still not good for you I'm sure.

I'm in favor of legalization with regulations. I like the way my state currently handles the situation. If you regulate it like alcohol (have to be over 21 years old, no driving high, etc.) then I don't see much of a problem.

The reason for this is because when you're drunk you feel more confident driving which results in you most likely crashing because you think nothing will go wrong. Believe me I hate drunk drivers as well, but if you have had to drive while you're high you'll see a major difference. The time I can say not to drive is when you're at your peak and that's like right as soon as you get high, but after 30 mins to an 1 hour you should be fine

A lot of things aren't necessary for life. Alcohol and drugs make you feel good, people are allowed to do that to a reasonable extent in a responsible manner...which is probably what 95% of the cases are.

So being drunk in public = we're gonna drive while intoxicated? There's a pretty massive gap between getting drunk at home and doing **** that can put people's lives at risk.

And it's the people that aren't responsible about it that make me feel like we should be a lot more strict. The people that are responsible about it would have nothing to worry about because, well, they're responsible.

It's just a personal opinion I guess. I have 0 interest in alcohol and drugs, never smoked cigarettes in my life and never plan to...been around people that have done and still do both and I guess from my perspective it all seems stupid and pointless. You can be and live a perfectly happy life without them and imo you and the people around you are better off without them.

I'm not against making it legal. I'm for it for some of the reasons other people have said previously. I just think strict rules should apply to those who aren't using it within the confines of their own home since I don't want people I care about or myself to be sideswiped by some high or drunk idiot that thought "I'm totally capable of driving" instead of waiting until they were sober like a responsible person should.

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
