Here is a question that I have, why can’t marijuana be legalized but carry similar punishments as alcohol? Alcohol carries similar characteristics while under the influence as marijuana, so why is one illegal and one isn’t?
I think marijuana should be legalized because there are responsible people out there that will use but not put other peoples lives in danger. That is just the same with alcohol, there are responsible people out there that only drink in the comfort of their home or at least have a DD. Why can’t there be laws that legalize marijuana but keep people in check while using. Why can’t you set up checkpoints the same as you do for people under the influence of alcohol? Why can’t you have a law about having a lit joint in public, which is kind of like an open container? If people want to do things in the privacy of their own homes that should be ok. Even have state licensed stores that sell the marijuana and this way it can still be controlled by the government.
I think that the possible explanation to all of this is the government doesn’t want to deal with it. It is easier to classify it as a drug and that it’s illegal than to have to worry about people bringing up the question about other drugs. The government is worried that if they legalize marijuana where does it stop. Well, sorry to say but its never going to stop. There will always be questions on drugs and what their affect is on people.

i agree with you about how its illegal because people get that all the time. also i agree with your argument about how that each alcohol and marijuana have the same effects while doing them yet marijuana still has a greater punishment than alcohol. its crap.
It was a good post. The guest was exactly have same viewpoint as the author of this blog. It should have more pushment but I am not complaining about the stuff. It doesn't even matter to me.
I enjoyed reading the guest blogger's post. The guest blogger did a good job of carrying over the same tone and content of previous posts.
a agree i couldnt tell who this is it did seem very close to the orriginal bloggers flow.
this is a very difrent blog than the previose one's. because the posts before were begining to go off topic. but this one hits the bulls eye, but i have no idea who it can be.
I am with this post, there is a lot of "Why's" when you talk about legalizing pot. Though I do think that pot at times should not be used in areas where there could be saftey concerns. There is a time and a place for everything and any intelligent human being should know that and if they don't they need to quite lighting up.
Mystery Blogger--
I'm a little thrown by the photo--it seems tangential to your post, not directly related to the point of legalizing marijuana but enforcing the same sort of "under the influence" laws. The asking of questions is common for this blog. Interesting to see that carried on here.
