Question by Mike: Do you agree that only stoners think marijuana should be legal?
Because, when you really think about it, there’s no good reason to be for legalization if you don’t smoke. Marijuana is harmful and it turns users into worthless degenerates. Only a stoner would be foolish enough to support legalization.

Best answer:

Answer by littlerunner
Nope. I’m not at stoner and I wouldn’t care if it was legalized. It’s not half as dangerous as alcohol and it might help put our country out of debt if we could export it, since currently all we export is scrap metal. Of course, I don’t think it should be legal to smoke it and drive or anything. If you research the long-term affect of pot there really are none. People just worry about it because it is a gateway drug that can lead to other drugs that ARE very harmful. There’s just a lot of bad stigma attached to it because it’s – GASP – a DRUG. I don’t smoke anything at all, ever and that’s still my opinion.
