No one wants their 14 year old child smoking marijuana or drinking, or at the strip club, or driving a car.

The better question would be do we want to lock up a 14 year old for smoking marijuana?

Really sheep? Let the tourist come and smoke for a fee? how would that even work or be enforced?

Look what gambling has done to our fragile society. How can't a 'Christian' nation comprehend that marijuana is a God given plant, which continue to show medicinal benefits.

This country isn't fragile it's just afraid to advance!

Mexico is ran by cartels who fight over territory and power. Legalization in some US states have already had an impact on the bottom line of those cartels because the demand for marijuana isn't as high.

And which cities in the US do you speak of?

You can be addicted to marijuana, heroin, shopping, playing numbers,sodas,candy, fried foods, alcohol, exercising,sex,etc. Does exercising once a day make you a addict? Or having 1 cigarette or 1 glass of wine? People can become addicted to anything so throw that argument out the window. When a person becomes addicted to anything it usually stems from deeper social issues that have nothing to do with substance itself.

About farming. Really? All farmer would just switch to selling marijuana?Again if marijuana was fully legal it would devalue so it would not be as lucrative as it seems for farmers to switch.

Colorado where it is legal has not seen these epidemics that worry you? They've actually seen a decrease in overdoses and crime.

Totally agree. We important almost 90% of our food so there would be no impact. It may even have the reverse affect and put some farmers to work. Second. Full legalization would put Cartels out of the marijuana business because the value would drop. If anything there would be an uptick of opiods. What is marijuana? what is legal? Dude, What is alcohol and what type of alcohol is legal? Alcohol can be laced just like anything that can be consumed. Alcohol has different variants and hybrids. As yourself this? If it was fully legal would you need a drug dealer? Wouldn't you just go to the dispensary OR grow your own? Because we must remember it is a plant.

This guy hasn't read an article on marijuana since the 80s.

You assume that decriminalizing would cause more people to smoke? I don't believe that would be the case.

Decriminalizing would help our social structure because we would stop locking up our youth "for a joint" or a plant. So there is a combination of social restructuring and personal feelings attached to this issue. One shouldn't feel at threat of being locked up for smoking marijuana, the same way one shouldn't feel afraid to have a glass of wine.

What did they expect exactly? Parents have no money so imagine the students.. Bite the bullet and figure out a better system unless we want to start locking up students but hey we are under Chinese rule now.

The Bahamian people lost here and I associate with none of the parties. The Bahamian people keep playing this back and forth as the country dies. It’s like the US. Democrats n Republicans have built a trillion dollar debt and Americans still puts them office. Definition of insanity
