Advantages: Medical reasons.

Disadvantages: If overly used, mental problems.

The answer to this question is a simple yes, and I'll try and explain myself in as little words as possible (more than 150 though of course). I say this because I believe that if you can't explain something in a small amount of words, then you don't truly understand the topic yourself... and if you don't understand the topic, then your opinion isn't technically valid. Anyways, I'll come back from my tangent there. The main reason I believe cannabis should be legalised is this:

Alcohol is legal, it messes with your mind (obviously I'm not saying bud doesn't), but it can make people violent and therefore results in such things as murder and rape.

I'm pretty sure that not a single person who has ever been 'high' has ever hurt a single person. It generally makes you relax or sleep, or maybe have a hyper spurt, followed by a chilled out period.

So why is it, that a drug more damaging to our society is legalised, and one that does little damage is illegal.

I'm not saying that cannabis isn't damaging in any way shape or form, because that would be naive, but it is only generally damaging if used to extreme amounts. It can be used in small doses for all sorts of medical issues, pain killing etc.

Currently, cannabis, pot, weed, bud, marijuana, skunk, ganja, is a B Class drug, and possession can result in an unlimited fine and up to two years in prison. Possession of alcohol will result in nothing except maybe a murder or an unwanted child.

If everyone was high all the time, fair enough they may be brain dead, but the ironic thing is everyone would be so much happier.

You know what, society is officially fucked up.

Summary: No-one in a high state will ever harm anyone.
