Comparing marijuana to fresh food because it grows naturally is a stretch. I suppose heroin is ok beacause it comes from poppies? I don't like any laws that are supposedly created to protect idiots from themselves, pot laws are a good example. So if we are going to repeal stupid legislation let us get started, there are plenty to get rid of. But let's not pretend dope smoking iS good for anyone.

Please tell your fellow commentators that Nevada is spoken with a short A like the a in at. Thank you.

Some of the marijuana revenue could be used to fight the truly destructive drugs. Cocaine, heroin, crack, meth., to name a few. Time to take the blinders off and learn from prohibition.

Cheryl, I smoked pot in college in the 70's as most my generation did. I quit while I was trying for the golden ring during the 80's & 90's, if while @ a party and it was present, yes I would partake. I always thought it should be legal, but it wasn't politically correct to think that. Now that I'm semi-retired thanks to this economy. I've lost my Med. Insurance and needing pain meds. for a back surgery I had in the 80's, I had no choice but to get my Med. card for Med. pot. It has saved me

I agree with the full legalization of Cannabis. I am a LEAP member and a NORML member. I donate money too these two organizations. If you have any interest in ending prohibition and the regulation and control of drugs. It would be nice if you could do a story about LEAP. www.leap.cc

Hi Cheryl. Like you,I've never touched the stuff, although Tobin Smith jokes with me about it everytime I've been on Bulls and Bears. I think we should legalize it, tax it, and use it to fund Health Care Reform. Then we could do away with the Cadillac Health Care Plan tax and some of the other proposed taxes.

Its nice to see someone outside the issue, or shoudl I say a Non-user, that sees reason and truth over the fear and miss information the prohibitionest side chooses to peddle! The fact is that marijuana out of all drugs or intaoxicants is by far the safest, does no harm to cells and is in itself non toxic! Asprin kills 500 people at least a year, alcohol kills 100,000+ and tobacco 400,000+ a year. Marijuan has killed no one, in the history of man! End the Failed Drug War!

As with you I have lived in Tucson, AZ for 23 years. Drug/Gang related crime in this area is totally out of control. They are indoctronating 14 & 15 yr. olds as hit men for the gangs, ( cold blooded little killers ). It is so bad my wife and I and many of our friends of all ages and sex have gotten their State certified Concealed Carry Permits. None of us leave the house without being able to protect ourselves. I agree with you about the legalization.

If you look at the history of Cannabis you will see that it truely is a gift from God. It helps a lot of people who are sick and it can be used as a natural resource. It can be used to make paper, rope, canvis and fuel. Maybe that's why it is still illigal. The federal government has been suppling medical marijuana for 30 years but don't want to talk about it. When you look at the studies you see that Marijuana is the most useful and helpful plant we have. Please stop the proabition.

Thank you for this segment, no one is really paying attention to cannabis. there are more important things in our world, but cannabis could help to answer some problems that we face. legalizing would; stop spending on the horrific failure that is the "war on drugs", relieve space in our overcrowded prison systems for actual criminals, save taxpayer money for the more important problems, generate revenue, decrease crime rates, and decrease drug cartel power among a host of other positives.

Um... about time we decrimilize or legalize marijuana not only for medical reasons, recreation/industrial reasons. I won't sit here and say I don't ever use marijuana... hell yes I do. It isn't like alcohol. After one "toke" or smoke, I can still function but just feel relaxed... no hangover or headache. Oh, by the way, I am a professional American, with a job, and I didn't vote for Obama either. I might be your neighbor... and I believe in God. I also enjoy a beer sometimes.

Amen to that

This has been a very informative week regarding the subject of cannabis and I, as you, would like to have cannabis taxed and regulated. Legalization may lead to the end of a low market.
