Phone polls are not the way to get things done. They're less effective than petitions. What we need is for EVERYONE to contact their local, state, and federal officials, so that they'll stop being afraid to take on this issue.
I don’t smoke, but I definitely think it should be legal, provided that it is regulated like alcohol (no minors, and no driving).
It makes absolutely no sense that cannabis is illegal while alcohol and tobacco (both of which are MORE harmful and MORE addictive) are legal.
Legalization would:
- Create thousands of jobs
- Deal a massive blow to drug cartels, which would suddenly be without 75% of their income
- Provide an enormous windfall for the government, which would bring in billions in taxes and SAVE billions more on law enforcement (ending Prohibition played a big part in getting the U.S. out of the Great Depression)
- Allow police, courts and prisons to focus their resources on DANGEROUS criminals, rather than potheads
Contact your representatives in government! If you don’t know who they are, find out at http://capwiz.com/norml2/dbq/officials/ If they hear from enough of us, they'll HAVE to start taking this issue seriously. As Gandhi once said, “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

It should be legalized for medicinal purposes, not for recreational. But I will call and vote.

"It is legal in the Netherlands and other places." -It is only decriminalized in the Netherlands, it is not "legal". It's decriminalized in some places in the US.
