Which ones? Which ones remain illegal? Acid isn’t addictive, but it can be harmful and dangerous to others if the person has a bad experience. Do we only outlaw addictive drugs? If so, there goes cigarettes and alcohol.
I repeat, where do you draw the line? Do we allow people to shoot heroin on the basis that it's their body and they should be allowed to destroy themselves? Do we allow people to snort crank on the same basis? Do we allow people to use the yard poisons and that red dye that caused cancer? Laws are laws for a reason. Some may be antiquated in some opinions, but many are in place for good reasons.

Some of you say yes make it legal, but not in public. Why not? You can smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol in public. If you’re not ashamed and there’s nothing wrong with it then why be forced to hide away in your home or car?

There will always be people that want something legalized and others that want to keep the status quo. If you want pot to be legal then do something about it, likewise if you don't want it legalized do something about it. This is America. Majority rules. Make your choices through your representatives that you elect.

My personal experience with pot is bad - yours may be good. I’m glad that the pot smokers here aren't stupid, lazy and good for nothing, but virtually all of the stoners I've ever personally known are.
