Is weed going to get legalized?

who thinks that weed is going to get legalized depending on who wins the presidential election...I think that if obama wins, weed will get legalized because he used to do drugs, and I bet most of the other canidates did it to when they were younger, so who thinks that weed will get legalized by the government, even though they cant tax it?

I sure hope weed doesn't get legalized. Then again I live in Canada so I guess it wouldn't make much difference to me. Still though, legalizing weed wouldn't be a very smart move. Yeah, people do stupid things like that when they are younger. Doesn't make it okay though, as you get older you get more mature and realize the important things in life. If the president made a choice like that, they are just asking to be disrespected by real professionals. Yeah, the drug dealers may appreciate it... but, I would rather much be appreciated by people who make smarter choices.

It May be.In Some ways it would do a lot of good for the world.
But Im Others it would be bad.
I recently did a project on weed for my health class.
There are so many thing that weed can do to change the world.
We can fuel cars on marijuana seed oil,and Marijuana can be used to make so many things.
However,If It WERE legalized,many people would abuse it as a drug,and no one would want to work.ahah.
I can see both Points of the argument.

most likely not. there is a better chance that cigaretts get legalised

Legalizing marijuana would not help drug dealers; it would put them out of business.

Drug laws are what make recreational drugs so lucrative. The huge profits are what bring organized crime and the associated violence.

If recreational drugs were sold through legal chanels it would be more dificult for minors to get them. Illegal drug dealers aren't likely to card someone to make sure they are 18. Also, legal marijuana would be regulated so users would not have to worry about more dangerous drugs like PCP being added.

All that said I doubt either candidate would legalize drugs. GW Bush snorted cocaine but he has no problem with it being illegal or even locking people for decades for doing the same thing he was younger.

way to state it, filletofspam! good job

gee, thatd be the day
im not sure any of these new presidents would be confident enought to legalize it, at least right away, most likely they would get less respect and voters would be pissed off 'I wouldnt have voted for you had I known this!'
buttt whooo knows

No-one will legalize it, because the US population on whole has bought into the war on drug hysteria peddled by the government for over 60 years now, and there is no political benefit to be achieved by legalizing it.

The best we could hope for would be for a candidate to stop pushing the hysteria and allow an honest debate to proceed. I don't even see that happening.

its being decriminalized, not legalized

IT WOULD BE SO COOL IF THEY DID LEGALIZE IT!!!

:D

Decriminalization is the same as legalization. The law is a list of things you can't do, and things you must do, not an exhaustive list of everything you are permitted to do.
