Do you support the legalization of Marijuana?

The recreational use of cannabis has been legalized in 19 U.S. states and Washington D.C. Another 12 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands have decriminalized its use. Commercial distribution of cannabis has been legalized in all jurisdictions where possession has been legalized, except for D.C. Personal cultivation for recreational use is allowed in all of these jurisdictions except for Washington State and New Jersey. Proponents argue that marijuana sales bring in tax revenue for states and cut down on non-violent drug incarcerations. Opponents argue that marijuana is a powerful recreational drug that can lead to addiction and psychosis.

As long as someone doesn't try to pressure me into trying it I could care less about who uses it or what they use it for as long as they don't blow the smoke into my face and not smoke in areas where I ask them not to. That's my stance on the matter

 @9DVSPK3 from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but release people serving a lot of time for marijuana offenses

 @9BH4ZP3 from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes. Allow federal research. Let’s discover What health conditions, marijuana successfully treats. Then launch a robust and extend public health campaign to educate the public. Weed isn’t the answer to everything.

 @933JQW7 from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but don't send non-violent users to prison for it.

 @8RT3KR7 from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, it should never have been made illegal. The government has no constitutional authority to regulate or make illegal any drug.

 @8RQY2NS from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and all other drugs as well as revoking all victimless crimes.

 @8RQJRTC from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, along with all other drugs and as well as other victimless crimes.

 @8RP8P6F from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and not just marijuana but all drugs and other victimless "crimes".

 @8RP73P8 from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

bring the legal age back too 18, and yes i support

 @8RNXNV4 from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, along with all other drugs. Then release all prisoners in prison solely for drug "crimes". The federal government has no constitutional authority to regulate or make illegal drugs.

 @8RJ7N9B from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Not just Yes, but HELL YES. Government has no business in what a person does and does not do with their own body. And immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses

 @AWeiseyyy24Republican from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

Only for legit medical reasons. Figure out a way to strongly enforce laws against people that use it for any other purpose. It should be heavily regulated by each state.

 @97K7L8B from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

it's a combination of things. Medical use should be available to anyone that it could be a source of medical options. If Marijuana was legalized, it needs to be taxed, regulated and have restrictions same as alcohol.

 @95LW4C3Independent from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, cause even if you take away the right of drugs people will still find a way to get them and use them, instead of banning it get treatment centers for those who need them or may want them

 @8RYDSCY from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, it should never have been made illegal. The government has no constitutional authority to regulate or make illegal any drug. The only reason it was is because some wealthy and powerful industrialists felt threatened by hemp, which is where marijuana comes from.

 @8RMG5LB from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes. And all other drugs, then immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses.

 @8RKDFWP from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, as well as all other drugs,. then immediately release anyone serving time solely for any non-violent drug offenses.

Death, Denial, and Silence: Inside China’s Push to Bury Zhuhai’s Devastating SUV Attack

Outside the sports center in the southern city of Zhuhai where a 62-year-old man had plowed an S.U.V. into a crowd, killing at least 35 people, workers on Wednesday quickly removed bouquets of flowers left by grieving residents. Uniformed police officers and officials in plainclothes shooed away bystanders and warned them not to take photos. At hospitals where patients were taken after the attack — at least 43 more people were injured — local officials sat outside the intensive care units, blocking journalists from speaking with family members.On the Chinese internet, censors were mobilized to delete videos, news articles and commentaries about the attack. Almost 24 hours had passed before officials divulged details about the assault, which happened on Monday, including the death toll. Their statement offered limited details, and they have held no news conferences.The response was a precise enactment of the Chinese government’s usual playbook after mass tragedies: Prevent any nonofficial voices, including eyewitnesses and survivors, from speaking about the event. Spread assurances of stability. Minimize public displays of grief.The goal is to stifle potential questions and criticism of the authorities, and force the public to move on as quickly as possible. And to a large degree, it appeared to be working.Though many residents of Zhuhai, the city of 2.4 million where the attack happened, were clearly shaken, they said on Wednesday they had not questioned the delay in information, attributing it to the government’s need to first sort out what had happened. A steady stream of people arrived by foot or taxi to lay flowers at the sports center’s entrance, but when officials took away the flowers and told the people not to linger, they quickly complied.Local governments have also vowed in recent months to spend more time screening for people who have experienced “failures,” after a spate of violent attacks, including several cases in which schoolchildren were stabbed.But officials were also clearly on the lookout for any deeper scrutiny of the Zhuhai killings. Videos and photos of the scene of the attack showed only as grayed-out squares on Weibo, a social media platform. Blog posts urging people not to treat violent attacks as isolated incidents, but rather to look deeper for potential social causes, disappeared.

Israel Missile Strike Kills 5 U.S. Aid Workers

The Israeli military fired a missile, killing five people in the lead vehicle of an aid convoy in Gaza that it claimed had been hijacked by militants.The military also said it killed a top Hamas commander and two other fighters Friday as its large-scale operations in the West Bank continued into a third day.The D.C.-based nonprofit that organized the convoy, American Near East Refugee Aid, known as Anera, described it as a “shocking incident” in a statement Friday and said that those killed were from a local transportation company. It was urgently seeking more details about the incident.The convoy had been delivering medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah, Palestine Country Director Sandra Rasheed said in the statement to The Washington Post, and its route was coordinated with the Israel Defense Forces.Thursday’s incident is one of several such attacks this week. In remarks to the United Nations Security Council on Thursday, the U.S. representative, Robert Wood, referred to an incident that occurred Sunday, according to U.N. officials, in which he said the IDF fired toward a UNICEF vehicle.On Tuesday, at least 10 rounds were fired into a World Food Program vehicle, which the United Nations blamed on Israel and prompted WFP to temporarily suspend staff movement across Gaza. Wood said the Biden administration was “deeply alarmed” by Tuesday’s shooting and urged Israel to “immediately rectify the issues within their system that allowed this to happen.”
