NJ.com Opinion: Put down your martinis and legalize marijuana
Star-Ledger editorial page editor Tom Moran wonders why Jersey legislators have trouble understanding how the effects of marijuana are less harmful than …
Society has got more and more angry and the world is becoming more hostile. Cannabis can really help!
That has been my argument all along, except you articulate it much better than I. It really is absurd the double standards, hypocrisy and the ignorance surrounding this topic.
Take a few puffs and I guarantee you you’ll want to learn something new.
Yea A gateway to the Chinese food menu.
This dude is right he should be president of the United States and anyone that doesn’t agree should have their hands and feet chopped off
Here’s why medical & recreational cannabis should be legal:
–
1: The natural plant cause 0 overdoses
2: Criminals will not be able to sell weed in legal places because the dispensaries will put them out of business
3: People should be able to choose what they put in there body as long as they are not harming anyone else in the process
4: This may help to lower prescription drug and alcohol abuse
5: Prisons will be less full
6: You won’t have to worry (as much) about buying laced weed if you get it from a legal dispensary
7: If you don’t want to consume cannabis you don’t have to because it’s YOUR CHOICE
8: Less illegal drug dealers = less guns and violence
9: New jobs will be created
10: High drivers are much less likely to get in a car accident than drunk drivers, so it doesn’t make sense why alcohol should be legal but cannabis should not be.

And by the way just to remind everybody what about our second amendment rights in New Jersey another Cham not allowed to protect yourself this day is so evil it’s not even funny so corrupt
why was this not on trending?????? please spread this link I'm tired of the companies and higher ups shutting down our cause. put the joint down for a bit to be more comfortable later. if anyone here is seriously considering contributing to the cause please do so now and not when the topic has faded away. this may be our only chance, the munchies are going to have to wait.
Try this! Ask anyone about how many people they know killed by booze. Then ask the same question about weed.
Have said it for decades…how/why do politicians sit and suck down drinks and discuss whether weed should be legal!! Not to mention the girlfriends they may keep on the side. Idiots!!
Do not legalize marijuana. It's an undeniable fact that when the black man smokes the devil's lettuce he steps upon the shadows of white men.
I agree. I stopped drinking about 7 years ago and have no desire to go back to it. I'm also dealing with clinical depression. The marijuana takes the pressure off of my anxiety. I don't smoke during the day or at work, but it's a help to sit down at the end of the day and have a few hits. It helps with my sleep at night. Anything can be abused. that appears to be human nature, but pot won't rot your liver or make you violent. That's just a few differences' between marijuana and alcohol.
Facts!
Legal weed is a good idea. But, legal weed and an expansive welfare state thate rewards not working and irresponsibility is a really bad idea.
We’re fools for not utilizing hemp in 2018
Truth!
A Pennsylvanian wishing NJ good luck! Marijuana prohibition needs to stop now and even though my state is still stuck in the past I wish you nothing but good luck! Maybe you can help our state come around as well.

Thank you!
Impressed !! Mr Moran🇺🇸
Amazing statement. Those who are still against marijuana and buy into the reefer madness nonsense, simply haven't done their research. Marijuana is harmless!
