Weed and medical marijuana

[Xannidel]

So the topic of legalizing weed has been popping up more and more frequently, or at least it has for me, and I want to hear if you are pro or con this topic and please give us some details as to why you chose your answer.

For me I am against legalizing it, I do not smoke it which already skews my opinion but I mean it really messes with people's minds and can cause problems if they decide to drive and that can hinder their ability to drive/put on the brakes in time/ect. I have many pot head friends who all are for it but it just seems like a stupid thing to legalize when the US is in such an economic disaster.
I am all for MEDICAL patients to use marijuana to help them ease the pain but not for some average Joe down the road who just wants an easy way to get out of his world for awhile.
