Not sure. I think child outcomes may depend on the emotional stability of home and parents. I think parents are accountable not the industr

Depends on the living lifestyle of the child and their parents. The Industry can be hellish, or very successful for the child if it blends

I think it's safer than alcohol. I've seen alcohol destroy many lives. Leave the the smokers be.

I believe this to be better than having a few drinks at home. More woman tend to became outraged or mean when drinking. Pot is more calming

I smoked pot all through college and maintained a 4.0

Look at all the money that we have spent on finding the bad guys and look at all the money we could make on the taxes.

.It should not be an issue if you are getting your job done. Also there is no physical addiction like alcohol, cigs, or hard drugs.

You can't overdose on Pot. You can on xanax, alcohol & even antidepressants. Why not utilize something eons old and proven safe?

If people chose to lose brain cells faster, their choice.

I believe marijuana should be legalized! I do not smoke, but I know it will never go away so why not reap the benefits...TAX IT!

It's definitely a more responsible substance than alcohol. With less bodily harm. No one dies of "marijuana poisoning"

A lot of companies have a drug free work place policy. Even minor use of pot is still using drugs and could cost them their jobs or worse.

Dumb thing is, pot shows up in a drug test for ~30 days. But cocaine is more dangerous and only shows up for

The fact the marijuana is STILL illegal makes criminals out of people who would otherwise be law abiding upstanding citizens.

what about people who r alcoholics but have no issues w/ pot, they smoke the occassional joint instead of drinking? I think its only fair

I am well-educated, am well-paid, have been successful at my career for 15 years & I smoke a little pot almost every day after work.

pot smoking is socially acceptable in 13 states, and i think that old stereotypes of pot are changing for the better.

Smoking pot hurts noone. Stop wasting tax dollars going after these people and put more cops on the roads patrolling for drunk drivers!

Lets legalize it, tax it and create thousands of new jobs. It has been proven to not be addictive.

Have you ever seen a pothead commit a violent crime? People who smoke pot are much more calm. Seriously America, get over it

This is an herb made by God. Not a drug.

I have smoked since I was 17. I am 49 now. Every day. Had a career for 27yrs. Now own a business. Would this be if I used alchohol that way

It's safe, non-addictive, and natural.....why not?

Alcohol and prescription medications are far more dangerous than pot. If you dont think so... what are all these celeb's dying from? Not po

I have been smoking on and off for years. I am sixty three and a professional. I think it should be legalized and taxed as alcohol is..

I think the stigma associated w/pot has made this issue more of one than need be. I am a 32yr old professional woman who smokes pot...

Man made tobacco, God made Marijuana. Who do you trust?

The money made in taxes will far outweigh any bad that may come of it.

Look at Denmark and other countries that have legalized it - less crime and more $!

No. Marijuana should not be legalized. Smoking marijuana effects the way you judge speed and distance.

pot will always be used legal or not. i have never heard of any 1 dying from pot, better than taking Xanax, etc too many overdoses now!!!!!

It is a fact that marijuana is safer than Alcohol and Cigarettes. Simple as that.

It's your personal choice to drink/smoke. "Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction." - BOB MARLEY!!

People who smoke this are laid back and relaxed. I've never heard of smoking and killing or any abuse towards anyone when smoked. Legalize!

Regulated and taxed, I think marijuana is safer than alcohol. It will also cut out the criminal element that now controls the distribution

This is CA largest cash crop. Why not capitolize off of it?! Also, as a Californian, this substance is THE most socially acceptable...

Many people would speak out in favor of legalization, but fear being penalized or labeled as terrorist. This makes since on many levels.

It should absolutely be legalized! It's the perfect medicine in so many cases, and you can't overdose. Plain and simple

Marijuana should be legalized and regulated across the entire US. The 'war' has been ineffective and costs us billions each year for nothin

I am a responsible citizen, capable of making choices for myself. Our government needs to stop trying to control everything.To each / own.

Not only will it bring in addtional tax revenue, it will also reduce our cost on the war against drugs.

Im Disabled with painfull nirve damage.I use marijuana in a state witch it is not legal.I live with the stress of knowing I may be jailed.

recent studies shown that it has a anti-cancer causing agent which counters the carnocigens & with vaporizor tecqnology there is no smoke

Money to help solve CA's financial trouble is just a bonus. Government not trying to make decisions in my personal life is real benefit

I am a current CA med. maj. user. (3 GI surgeries, only other option was strong dose of Vicodin or other painkiller.) Maj. is much healthie

Legalization will make Calif. rich, and the drug cartels broke, so, why not?

Of course it should be legalized, regulated, and taxed! Over 500 economists (including Nobel Prize laureates) denounce its prohibition!

It's no worse than alcohol.

Yes, of course it should be legal. We've destroyed enough lives with marijuana prohibition.

It's not as bad as cigarettes and alcohol and even seems to have medical benefits
