Now if only it happened.
But I'm happy with medicinal being the first to be accepted for legal use.
Long overdue.
Watch out for negative comments and confused research that i believe the pharmaceutical companies are behind this with there big money,follow the money.Now we are finally realizing the health benefits from this natural source as a much safer medicine than these artificial manmade pharmaceutical drugs.pharmaceutical companies know that they will be losing money..Why be so negative about it.It is a lot safer medicine than some of the foul crap that they have.It's all about the people having a safer alternative medicine not the pharmaceuticals big money.
I can honestly say at 46, that I've never tried it.. but I know many people who have.. I've never seen them go into any kind of rage.. just mellow out.. and most of the ones I know wouldn't even bother taking the chance driving if they were too "high" from it. make it legal, and tax it.. then lower the gas taxes so everyone wins..
When it is legalized I hope they have the decency to release everyone from prison who was arrested for canabis charges.
@chucky seay. It only allowed me to vote twice. Believe me, i tried. I wanna see this make enough noise to get brought up to the lawmakers. I have yet to see a valid argument against it. These are believable results.
Yeah, real believable results -- you've got the same stoner hop-head voting > 4K times because this system permits him to.
i a country founded upon freedom, why has the govt taken away a persons right to use pot? the prisons are overfull with minor drug offences costing taxpayer huge sums. why not tax the users and use the money to help society
I'm not a pot smoker but like all these folks above are saying, it's just not a dangerous drug. I'm not sure if it would distract the harder drug users but I can't believe that people are still getting jailed for something so inane.
In Colorado the benefits on all levels are abundant! Great tax revenue, health benefits and lower crime!
Marijuana is the only illegal substance that is not addictive. I have never heard of anyone dying of an overdose, going on to heroin or cocaine, or becoming aggressive from it's use. It needs to be removed from schedule 1 and made legal, at the Federal level. The 'war on drugs' should be focused on the true 'gateway' drugs such as OxyContin, Oxycodone and the the latest to be approved by the FDA....Zohydro, et al. Pharmaceutical companies can produce and sell drugs that cause more addicition and overdoses than marijuana could ever cause.......and they are legally doing so. Something is rotten, but not in Denmark.
We'd all be better off if the police would focus on crimes that have actual victims.
Does anyone, other than those who pad their pockets from prohibition honestly believe that wasting $20 Billion and arresting 3/4 Million Americans annually for choosing a substance scientifically proven to be safer than what the govt allows, is a sound policy?
FACT Marijuana is less addictive and less harmful than Caffeine, let alone Alcohol and Tobacco; (3 Scientific Studies)

Legalize marijuana.
Vote for Bernie Sanders.
Be kind to people.
CO, Alaska and WA have only benefited from finally legalizing something that should have been legal a long time ago. I stopped smoking pot years ago but when I was a member of San Francisco's Cannabis Buyers Club, we put the street dealers out of business in that neighborhood. Illegal marijuana has no laws. Anyone, of any age, in any state (drunk, high on other drugs) can buy it and the whole neighborhood pays the price. Ashcroft shut us down and the dealers returned. The big argument against is the 'gateway drug' line. Well tobacco and alcohol are also gateway drugs. Furthermore, I was introduced to other drugs but that was because of buying pot underground. No one every pulled out a line of coke or speed when I was LEGALLY buying alcohol at a state store. The same thing will happen with pot. PA, true to form, will be the last state -at least in this region, to legalize marijuana. Since we are connected to 6 states, their people will come here and buy it. Soon it will be legal in one of the other states and PA residents will be spending their money there.
Although many people just don't want to change their views, substances like marijuana and psychedelics (if not considered as one) have been demonized and attached with such a negative stigma ONLY because of the war on drugs. We're never taught that these substances that are not only virtually harmless and non addictive, also have medicinal and healing properties both physically and psychologically. As well as it being near impossible (if not impossible) to overdose, meanwhile alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs kill people and destroy organs on a regular basis. Yet everyone just sees it as ok because they're legal so its fine. If mortality and common sense dictated laws they would be legalized..
Alcohol is a far worse drug than marijuana for ALOT of people. The medicinal benefits (and there ARE MANY!) of this Herb to the side, It would be nice to have another choice for relaxation and party than just alcohol. Think of the money it would also bring into the state as well. Its Time~
Should Pa. legalize marijuana for recreational purposes? 92% of respondents say, "Yes."
Drug policy reformers rule the Internet.
I'd rather see this legalized and alcohol be illegal,believe me alcoholics hurt more people than smoking marijuana does.Also it's better than smoking cigarettes for your health
Legalize in PA! End the costly, immoral, unjust, and failed war on drugs and honor the individual right of people to put into and do with their bodies what they wish as long as they aren't hurting anyone else or infringing on the equal rights of others.
