Saying there are worser drugs doesn't make this one any better. I'm not 100% sure what's up with Marijuana and the whole Medical thing but as a smoking thing it's pretty bad. You might not want to jump out of a building or feel invincable but a lot of other people do (It's been shown in studies) so as a whole it's more dangerous then it is helpful.

Way more worse drugs*
The only reason those people feel like that, is because they are stupid. Literally. There are "classes" of pot-heads. Intelligent smokers, and non-intelligent smokers.
Intelligent smokers are the ones that smoke their whole life without getting caught, and become something with themselves.
Non-intelligent ones, are the rest of the smokers. The retards that get caught. The rejects that openly admit it. The faggots who become addicted and "need" it (They have shizty WILL POWER) And the homos who use it as an excuse to try harder drugs.
And besides. The reason it may make other people feel godly and stuff (Which I highly doubt. Pot makes you want to sit on your ass, and eat eat eat eat eat) is because different chemicals affect different people differently.
For example: Bob drinks two beers, and get's drunk. Jim has to have three shots before he can get drunk.

Economically, there wouldn't be much revenue for the Goverment.
The people will still sell it in the same way, privately so that nobody knows. It'll be sold and bought with cash. There's no tax paying in there because technically, it didn't happen.
Another problem is that they will be charging taxes to generally, the lower and middle classes, classes which can barely pay more taxes. If you think about it, drug dealers become drug dealers because of lack of money, it's great business, you don't pay taxes and with the proper connections, you've got great money. Now your going to tax them, making the lower classes much poorer.
Then you have US Customs in the way. Pot is generally brought into the States and sold within a short period of time. Now it has to wait, in the docks, for a few more days. A few more days waiting means a few less dollars.
You also have to consider that Drug Importers will also have to pay to import it. They'll still smugle it because it's cheaper to smugle it.
You also known that most pot comes from outside of the US. This means that it'll takes years or decades to have a big enough surplus so that it can be exported. Only by exporting the drug, can there be big profit.

Actually, they could make a form of gas from it. Create hemp, and sell it. Regulate it, giving them taxes, ect...
Actually, if the government was to regulate it, and tax it, the punishment for selling behind their back would be outstanding; Thus, detrimenting anyone from wanting to even risk it. But of course, society is full of idiots, so a few would try to beat the system, but they would most likely get caught. And about growing it. The government could probibly give out licences to grow (For very heafty prices) and would pay the farmer for growing it. Just a thought.
But you have to look at this logically. If they were to legalize and tax Marijuanna, they could ease up on other taxes, or just get ride of certain other taxes, causing a balance.
Would you please elaborate on the US Customs? I don't exactly understand what you're trying to get at.
Actually um... Beer... They pay NOTHING to grow it. They would be getting PAYED by the government, for them selling it to the government. Or the government could even grow their own, to make it so they don't have to pay for imports. And they could [startconspiracy] make it even more potent to get everyone "addicted" (Hell, they could add addictive chemicals to it) so everyone will buy it[/endconspiracy]
How so? If they were to grow it, and sell it like Cigarettes (For a more expensive price of course) they would make BOMB cash. It kinda seems you have some propagandious thoughts within your head about this.. Try looking at it more open-mindedly? (No insult intended)

Since when does the government care about making the lower classes poorer? They seriously don't care about how rich/poor they actually are.
But if it were to be legalized they probably wouldn't try and smugle it because of the chances of getting caught. Why not just import it since it is legal now?
And finally, if it were to be legalized citizens of the U.S. wouldn't have to worry about getting caught with a farm or just a few plants in there house. They would probably mak there whole back yard a Marijuana farm. And alot more citizens would do this increasing the ammount of Marijuana in the United States.

More teenagers will start smoking pot, probably creating chaos, and for a while, life would be worse then before, but when the problem will become ridiculous the government will be forced to do something about it, and guess what?

I'm not addicted to pot. I can stop if I wanted to. I don't want to, because I like the feeling it gives me. Right now, i'm on probation. I have NO cravings what so ever to go smoke it.

I don't see how you can "Control" syptoms. As for the getting drunk analogy. Being drunk just makes you do stupid stuff and if you're in a and enviroment you might kill someone you really hate. With Marijuana you lose the ability to think, at all. Maybe not with everyone but with the majority that's how it is. And being drunk, you're normally in two places:
1) At home, and if you try to make it to the door you colapse
2) At a bar, in which there are designated drivers who just take you home, and chacnes are you'll pass out soon after anyway.
Marijuana has a lot more fatal effects on people then achool does.

That is true, Kupo. The only reason it is legalized over there in Amsterdam is because they don't have a strong government to look at all the good and bad things about it being legalized.
The only bad thing about it being legalized in Amsterdam is that you can have more then a 2 dimes on you at once. Unless you have a card that sais you are a "farmer".
Not only does Marijuana do that, it also does these things...
* mood lift, euphoria
* laughter
* relaxation, stress reduction
* creative, philosophical or deep thinking : ideas flow more easily
* increased appreciation of music. More aware of, deeper connection to music.
* increased awareness of senses. (eating, drinking, smell)
* change in experience of muscle fatigue. Pleasant body feel. Increase in body/mind connection.
* pain relief (headaches, cramps)
* reduced nausea, increased appetite (used medically for this)
* boring tasks or entertainment can become more interesting or funny

Some of these although worded well can actually be bad. Like change in experience of muscle fatigue, meaning you might not realize that your tired as hell but decide to go lift weights because you're so "powerful". Increased awareness is also called "Paranoia" which isn't a good thing if you thinke veryone is trying kill you. And I don't think laughing all the time while telling people to stop following you is going to look good in a police report. If you're VERY relaxed and don't think of anything bad then you might end up punching some guy in the face and not think about what could happen.

just comes to show you how diverse and complicated the government can become. they rather legalize drugs that are more harmful to their citizens health than helping. medicinal marijuana would help on curing or preventing some certain critical diseases, but government says its illgeal to sell them so i don't get what the government is doing.
i think sometimes, the government rather wants the population to decrease than increasing. they rather get money of the more harmful things than contribute to human health.
the beer and alcohol and cigarettes than the medicinal use of marijuana in my opinion causes more deaths and violence. there are still people that are drinking and driving that gets into car accidents. other than that, drinking too much beer gives you hangovers, go into a coma, and then maybe death from alcohol abuse. the stuff in beer are poisonous to human cells. if i remember correctly, it takes your body 6 hours to detoxify an ounce of beer.
unfortunately, there are more side effects than i said...but that breakdown.
i think sometimes, the government rather wants the population to decrease than increasing. they rather get money of the more harmful things than contribute to human health.
the beer and alcohol and cigarettes than the medicinal use of marijuana in my opinion causes more deaths and violence. there are still people that are drinking and driving that gets into car accidents. other than that, drinking too much beer gives you hangovers, go into a coma, and then maybe death from alcohol abuse. the stuff in beer are poisonous to human cells. if i remember correctly, it takes your body 6 hours to detoxify an ounce of beer.
