Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?

If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?

    Prohibition in Singapore works swimmingly. But that’s a single city state. It’s much harder to stop drugs from coming into a country like America.

    I don’t think anyone should go to prison for consuming drugs. I also don’t think fentanyl and drugs like it should be made any easier to obtain.

    San Francisco has spent so much money trying to solve the fentanyl crisis and yet it still persists. I think the problem lies deeper in our culture. Substance abuse is just a symptom of our cultural illness.

      No, it doesn’t. Still drug addicts, still drug dealers and violent gangs that import and sell drugs.
