My view on drugs has definetly changed over the past year. I think marijuana should be legal. Why? Because I don't think it's that dangerous of a drug. It slows down your body process and calms you down. As long as your in a safe place while your smoking it, not much will happen. Lets face it, well at least in my school, 7 out of 10 teens have tried pot. And the kids in my school aren't stupid kids mmost of them get A's and B's. Personally i think the economy will go up if pot becomes legal. If we tax on pot, the government will make some money. A lot of high school and college will be willing to pay for pot. Look at Holland drugs are legal there and their country is a thriving country. I think pot should be legal for people 18 and older. People shouldn't be allowed to smoke pot and drive and should only be allowed to buy a certain amount a year. That is my view on pot.

Thoreau420Above the Influence is still drowning in outdated philosophy and science from the 1930's. Weed affects many different people in different ways, there is a possibility to become complacent, but it's my strong belief that you won't if you weren't lazy already. It really depends on the person you already are. You can't label the entire community of stoners as lazy because you know 1 or 2 that are.
Congratulations. Someone who sees it the right way!
