Well, I am sure not a conservative, but I have always thought the idea of individual freedom/choice, smaller government (drug enforcement has ballooned the police, court and prison systems) and fiscal responsibility (the cost for enforcement is massive, far more than any "welfare" programs) would be ideas that appeal to conservatives.

It's not going to save the country. It'll help though.

Theres no reason it shouldn't be illegal. You can't overdose, it's relaxing, has many medical benefits, etc etc.

I'm surprised alcohol is legal TBH. You can die from it easily, become addicted fairly easy, and has a lot of terrible long term effects. Oh well.

Pot should be sold the way tobacco is in italy, basically the government owns the business and collects all profits created. Think about the biggest drug dealer you know, know imagine that guy sold to everyone in the U.S. coast 2 coast.

So yes I think They should and need to legalize.

HKSenilyks, your screen name is hard to type. Also are you nuts? You want to expand government? That's what republicans hate most, besides gays, jews, mexicans, taxes and liberals. If you are really saying that the gub'ment should own all tobacco production and realize all profits from sales of it, that is the "communism" fear that is instilled in every GOP supporter by their overlords. Might as well give it to large corporations, which are basically a front for the government since they are all intertwined and share profits.

I suppose that sounds crazy. Anyway, back on topic here. I know some pot heads, and they have thrown their life in the garbage trying to smoke weed all the time. They become sloths and the only desire circling in their head all day is their next toke. Man, you call it freedom, but you are enslaved to just one more man. Your weed man. You spend a shitload of money on a 10 minute high. On a gas tune, if I spent that same amount fuel, I could drive half way to Colorado easy. 60 bucks a bag, lol. pot heads.

That's ridiculous. Did you put any thought into that before you typed it, or did it just slip out unchecked?

While I'm not a pot smoker, I did do it once in a while in high school. I wouldn't care if it was legalized, a lot of people in this country do it and I'm sure a decent amount of money would be made from it to help pay for debt this country has accumulated, moreso recently :P

I have a friend who's smoked pot/sold it since he was like 14 all the way to current day. He got an academic full ride at the U of M and finished his 4 year psychology degree with honors. It really doesn't affect you that much at all. Some people just try and use it as a lazy excuse.

And for the record I don't smoke it, just a supporter.

And as far as your first paragraph, you should go through any kind thought process before you post.
