Opinion on weed?

[JDBar]

I'd like to preface this by saying I have never done any drug. To me, it should have a similar standing as alcohol and cigarettes do today: legal and smoked in non-public places.

I know a lot of people try to justify with all these medical positives about smoking weed, when it the end it doesn't matter what they are for the majority of people. I can ask every single person at my school why they would want to smoke weed, and nearly every one will say they just wanna get high. Almost nobody really gives a damn about the medical pros and cons.

And that's not the problem. The problem is that the conservative side of society needs to get over the idea of "getting high", just like it was with getting drunk.

There are other drugs I would personally legalize before marijuana, but hell if the US could profit from the taxes and nothing absolutely insane happens to people using it, I'm fine with it.
