Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?

If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?

    I don’t agree with recreational marijuana use. I’ve had it personally affect my life negatively and wouldn’t advise people to smoke it.

    If it’s medically needed and a doctor approves, sure but smoking it everywhere just because you can and because it looks cool is not the move.

    I also don’t think people should get thrown in jail for it, maybe rehabbed but not thrown in jail for it.

      I don’t like marijuana at all for myself (tried it twice with different methods of delivery) and found it to be extremely unpleasant.

      I don’t see why that should affect other people’s ability to choose for themselves to enjoy it or not though. Why should they go through rehab just for enjoying something that’s not negatively affecting them?

      If I’ve had pineapples personally negatively impact my life, should I get to say you can’t have any?

        You’re kind of gambling on the fact it doesn’t instantly kill you or you don’t get addicted to it. I’m just saying that people shouldn’t take the risk to do marijuana unless it’s medically prescribed to them.
