My two cents:

My father worked in law enforcement for many years as a dispatcher and then a records clerk. Many cops he and I talked to had the opinion that alcohol should go under prohibition again and marijuana should be completely legalized, for purposes medicinal or recreational.

The reason: Any police officer out there will tell you that when he pulls over a drunk driver, the guy is likely to be going way too fast, and he'll probably be a prick that's completely uncooperative and a prick to boot. He's likely to even try to fight the officer. Conversely, if the guy they pull over is stoned, he's probably driving under the speed limit, and he'll probably just submit right away. Stoners aren't violent, and they're ready to deal with the consequences of their actions.

But that's just my opinion.

If marijuana was legal it wouldn't be considerd a gateway drug! If it was sold in stores and not by DRUG dealers you would only have to worry about it being a gateway for ciggerets and alcohol. So maybe less people would get turned on to crack causing the crime rate to drop. It's kind of hard to break the law when you are waiting on pizzahut!

Scientifically, it isn't a gateway drug now. There have been a whole bunch of studies done on jr. high kids that showed the kids who did smoke reefer didn't feel like moving on to anything harder 1 year later.

It is not that marijuana is a gateway drug...it just so happens that people that do "drugs" do not have a moral objection to marijuana so they will be more likely to use marijuana than someone who does neither. I have smoked since I was 14 and dont do other drugs, and if I decided to it wouldnt be because I smoke, it would be because I had someone who does drugs tempting me and pushing it on me. I have never been smoking and had someone be like "ok now lets all do lines" it just doesnt happen like that. I do see many people who do drugs smoking to cope with the withdraw or the comedown of drugs though. Drugs are bad, marijuana is not.

I do not think smoking weed will make you want to try other drugs. My point was more about the dealers trying to make an extra buck by turning people on to other drugs.

Dealers piss me off sometimes. I know a couple guys who just sell weed, but a lot of the dudes I go to will try and turn me on to other shit. When I say I want an eighth, that's all I fucking want.

Absolutely agree 100%! People were say crap like marijuana gets you hooked on other more harmful drugs aren't tokers them and don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Sometimes even hubby and I get into debates about the marijuana subject but he is usually wrong because he just doesn't have all the facts. Plus marijuana affects ppl differently. I have only toked with my hubby 3 times out of almost 20 years and each and every time it totally screws him up.
I really haven't seen anyone act this way on just getting high off marijuana but it happens.
