Most people have the need to abuse only things that are illegal for them to use. If marijuana were legalized and taxed, people would be less willing to buy it, and it could be controlled and regulated. Marijuana is less dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol, which have long lasting, sometimes terminal, effects. Marijuana is an all-natural thing, too, meaning that there are no harmful chemicals in it initially, unlike most other drugs.
Also, legalizing Marijuana would stimulate the economy. There are billions of dollars spent each year on marijuana, all of it under the table and un-taxed, if this were to be taxed, perhaps our country could begin to work of ll the debt we owe to other countries.
There should, however, be an age requirement and certain restrictions on the selling and usage of marijuana, like cigarettes and alcohol.

I do agree on the age limit thing, but why do you think there should be? Any particular reason?

White Tiger Akutare Yeah, let's legalize a dangerous and addictive drug, i can't see a fault in that plan. It's actually not addictive.
But, in the end, I agree that it should not be legal in the US (You know...I'm assuming...this is the country we're speaking about?). Though, as I said, pot is not addictive, though it does bring out a different state of mind in the user. The reason the drug was/is so popular with hippies is because of the subconscious effects it has--allowing one to explore a part of them that they couldn't before. Now, while I'm a fan of this... Some--most--people use it for different reasons.
Just a good, sweet escape. An excuse to gorge themselves on food (Pot makes the user very hungry.) and to do the counter girl at the bowling alley in the broom closet. Teenagers don't realize how relatively, uh, harmless the drug itself is--it's media-ized as a life-ruiner, so when they light it up, they feel bad as s**t and do stupid things, under the influence that they are under the influence which they aren't really. But, feeling bold and in that state of deep mindfulness that they don't recognize or can come close to understanding, teens go to other drugs--really harmful ones, like LSD or methamphetamine.
People don't think--they don't try, and so they don't understand. Marijuana can certainly be useful, helpful--but there are just too many people who will not listen to sense and reason. Who will abuse it, think that it is something other than it is, and make trouble from it. Because of them, it is not safe for marijuana to be legal.
Let it slide by in back alleys to those who don't need it as they will, and clandestinely and carefully to those who do. For now, that's all we can manage.
