Raise your hand if you want Pot legalized!
Say it loudly and proudly: "I want Marijuana Legalized!"

Its time for us Potheads to come together and do something about this unconstitutional prohibition on our RIGHT to smoke this sacred herb legally. Its time for us to put our foot down, and say, enough is enough! So raise your hand, as high as you can, and say it with me:

Legalize Pot!

2. "I want Marijuana Legalized!"
I don't smoke, but see no reason that one shouldn't be able to do it if they want.

If you can go buy a six pack, and a pack of smokes, why not a little weed.

4. I've tried it a few times and it made me dumber than dubya...
...but if people want to smoke it, why not? It isn't terribly addictive, is it?

6. I have not used pot in 20 years or so...
...but I'll agree. Keeping pot illegal seems silly to me.

8. It should be legalized!
I'm not a fan of vice laws of any kind. I think that the drug problem should be treated as a health issue, not a legal one.

16. Hand raised
I want to point out, for those detractors who want to save their
kids from the harms of cannabis, that they are more likely to achieve
those ends with it legallized. Then the amounts will be controlled,
the dangerous chemicals not in certain variants, and poisoned drugs
will be unheard of, unlike in the criminal underworld.

For those same drugs warriors, i must point out that we've already
tried your method, and it does not work. ALL evidence shows that
drugs prohibition exacerbates the problem, and that you are incapable
of observing evidence. So its time to grow up and try something that
will work, both for cannabis users, and for those who want to make
our streets safe without criminal gangs, and for those who want to
make sure kids are not getting in to drugs at a young age.

Funnily, when the age of alcohol drinking is 21, the age of cannabis
smoking is 14, as there is no age, therefore, no limit... and that is
YOUR fault, not the fault of cannabis smokers... you are being silly
you drugs warriors, plucking your heads in the sand and pretending the
last 50 years have resulted in anything but increased drugs problems
in our society.

17. True that
One of my favorite quotes on the subject actually comes from a retired cop who spent half of his career working narcotics, so he knows first hand. Jack Cole is a founder of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and according to him "drugs are just too dangerous to leave in the hands of criminals, better that we control and regulate them".

Your kids are SAFER if there's quality control and they have real education they can trust instead of lies they have to guess between. If they wanted to commit suicide there's easier ways, most of the time they either got a hot shot due to unknown purity or got involved with an addictive and dangerous one because they didn't take the warnings serious.

They don't believe us because of a record of lies. Offer them facts and a safer choice than the one they can get on the streets and we can maybe at least direct them to less harmful ones rather than whatever they can grab on the streets. Make it a part of the system and it loses its "cool".

20. I WANT MARIJUANA LEGALIZED
That would be the perfect day.
It makes no sense for the government not to regulate it and sell it like alcohol, and tobacco. It is less harmful than both yet they are legal. Nobody ever beat their wife because they were high.
