Why do so many people want weed legalized?

    Because the government is wasting so much money on it being illegal. And weed is no worst, if not less worst, than alcohol.

    Weed growers and dealers are making tons of money which isn't being taxed. If weed were legalized, the government would be making money instead of losing money on it.

    Also, weed is being imported from other countries from very unsavory characters. Encouraging other countries criminals to take root in America. I'm not picking on one country in particular and I'm not being in any way racist. It's about criminals, not about race. We have enough criminals of our own.

    Because we're supposed to live in a free country, and being told we can't smoke weed yet we can drink all the alcohol we want is a rediculous law that ruins too many lives and wastes the police's time while they should be focusing on more serious crimes, such as those that are not victimless.

    Because it helps people deal with work and stress. Me i smoked weed for like a year or two but i stopped because theres no good weed anymore and also the prices are ridiculous. Besides this stuff you get from drug dealers are laced with coke and different crap which is bad for you. I would rather buy from a store which you can buy good good, like crazy amazing good weed. But thats my decision, so yea :P

    All responsible adults should have the right to use whatever substances they want. Why should the government regulate what you put in your body?

    Because you have the right to eat, drink, smoke and use any substance on yourself. It's called being alive.
