Any "Overdose" resulting in death would be because the marijuana was laced with harmful chemicals. The only way natural weed could be harmful is by getting people fat. Which isn't too bad considering America's obesity rate. No offense to anybody who's overweight.

But if you overdosed, then how would you be typing that?

Overdose doesn't automatically imply death.

The same way I would be typing as the thousand times I've overdosed on pot. Overdose =/= death.

If we made possession of marijuana legal, then people are going to exploit this and store marijuana in plain sight in their homes.

Then they have more bases to sell this stuff illegally to schoolchildren, teenagers, the poor and other vulnerable people.

It makes no sense to legalize possession from a law enforcement perspective. It makes it impossible to arrest any drug dealers unless they are caught in the very act of dealing.

If the police show up, someone can just throw their hands up and say ,

''Hey I'm just keeping all of these drugs in my house for my own consumption. I ain't selling. Get the fuck out!''

I see a lot of drug dealers escaping justice.

If you don't die by default because of they overdose then you'll be fine, probably.

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

Just for medical reasons and it has to be government grown. For any other reason you should be arrested.

I'm tired of finding you passed on the couch watching Netflix. You visited Burger King twice each day.... and I'm tired of it! You're killing yourself by making it to work on time and talking about the dream you had the night prior! You've become creative and sincere, and I miss when you were angry and drunk! This... this is sad....

Not if you make people and businesses need a licence for selling it.

Imo, yes, because it's none of the government's business as to what I put into my own body
In my opinion, yes, but that certainly isn't the reason why it should be legal.

It should be legal because it's virtually harmless, and things of similar risk are legal such as smoking and drinking, and the criminal penalties of marijuana use are somewhat unfair and overzealous.

But I sure as hell don't give a damn about the BS libertarian argument of "its my body lol ill do whatever i want with it no matter what and u cant stop me". That's just stupid and immature. All common sense would agree that shit like crystal meth, krokodile, and cocaine should certainly not be legal.

I completely disagree. Storefronts abandoned for years here in Denver have found a business. Local economies are growing, and we've seen nothing but taxes toward education and infrastructure.

Because then you can nab illegal dealers and those who are in the black market. We do it with alcohol.

Marijuana is dangerous. Its very very bad stuff; I learned this in school.
