It should absolutely be legal, I've been arrested 12 times at this point for offering joints to cops and it's quite disheartening
why offer Joints to Cops?

For the pure thrill of it of coursewhy offer Joints to Cops?
For one to be consistent, there are only two possible positions:
The science is clear that alcohol is more harmful and more addictive than marijuana. Also, much of the history behind marijuana laws is racist.
- Marijuana should be legal, and alcohol should be legal.
- Marijuana should be illegal, and alcohol should be illegal.
more like tobacco should be illegal because it's a known carcinogen unlike cannabis, cannabis have no proven link to cancerI'm of position #2. In fact, I'd rather ban alcohol over pot.
Any freely usable recreational drugs = hard ban, since quite a good amount people can't control themselves.
I would be all for it if we could restrict their usage to specific places, and only let people leave after getting "clear" of the effects.
As it is, everyone is subject to the (mostly negative) side effects of drug-influenced people (alcohol, tobacco, pot etc) in our lives.
Medicinal usage should have been ok since forever, as well as hard regulations/punishments for those who abuse that right.

All drugs are now decriminalized in Oregon. I'd like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.It should be legal and honestly all other drugs should be decriminalized. Weed should be legal for all uses and harder drugs need to be treated like a medical issue. Keeping all drugs criminalized is only contributing to the problem.
Most of the research seems to suggest that it requires an pretty high amount of abuse to effect the short-term memory but nothing conclusive on long-termStrongly against legalization for recreational use. Besides the fact that in can cause damage to your longterm memory, it is also linked in multiple studies as a gateway to other, even more harmful, types of drugs. I myself have seen this happening a few times with teens. In contrast to common believe, cannabis can be addictive and cause aggressive behavior.
...except that use by those whose brain is still developing (anyone under their mid 20's) are at a significantly higher risk of causing permanent damage... and there's a significant amount of teens/pre-teens that are getting wasted on a daily basis.Most of the research seems to suggest that it requires an pretty high amount of abuse to effect the short-term memory but nothing conclusive on long-term

But these are extreme cases, requiring someone to get high every single day for years on end. This is far less damaging than the effects of alcoholism.
Isn't it like five years jail time guaranteed plus a fine? Might depend on state, but that's pretty severe already. Studies in legal states also show legalization (plus regulation) reduces teen use.For one, there should be stronger penalties for supplying to under 21's (as there should with alcohol).
