Should recreational marijuana be legalized in the Carolinas?

Michigan and Illinois have joined nine other states to allow the sale of recreational marijuana, meaning you don’t need a prescription to have it.

    Yes, and don’t hand me that "it’s for the children" mess. Be an adult and lock it up, just like you would a gun, prescription pills, or your booze. Do drug dealers ask for age and ID? I remember smoking it as a teen, and I don’t remember getting carded. They will definitely be carded at a dispensary (as I noticed in Colorado). Would any responsible adult start giving kids their Xanax, Valium, etc? Do they give kids alcohol, which is also easily available? It’s amazing that the federal government still has it as Schedule 1, yet there are FDA-approved cannabis derived drugs. Cannabis helps with a lot of ailments, both physical and mental. It’s just like any other drug (including nicotine and alcohol), and you can form an addiction. Then again, learn a little personal responsibility. It’s nearly impossible to overdose on THC, and you’ll pass out long before hitting that point. Look at how easy it is to OD on alcohol.

    It’s should be legal for recreational use and yes NC can certainly use the tax revenue from it.

    I assume it will become legal like the lottery and gay marriage has, one state will follow the others

    You know North Carolina being known as tobacco one would think that they would jump their happy asses on to something that is more profitable than tobacco.

    Also I mean that dude Jack was right we should take sugar and caffeine away from our kids that is something that highly addicts mostly children.
    On a serious note though the drugs regardless of whether you have it legal or not you’re not going to punish adults for children I’m sorry that’s not the way this works you don’t punish adults for the fact children can have access to alcohol you don’t punish adults for the fact children have access to comethazine, hydrocodine a none of that other stuff so no. Cause nobody is making a argument to sell to children this is a adult conversations if you wanna talk about kids go to a parent/teacher conference.
    But this would obviously be a brain dead yes for the majority, hell it should’ve never been illegal to begin with.
