Weed definitely has more positive traits than negative, and if it were legal the nation could save billions of dollars that are being spent on the illegalization, so-called "war on drugs", imprisoning people for using/possessing it, selling it, and it would probably get us out of the bad economic state we're in. I smoke weed all the time, and I've never actually experienced a bad side of it, the only times I've came close is when people just assume it's bad and try to get others caught for it. I actually did a speech in one of my English classes and my subject was why marijuana should be legalized. Lots of people smoke bud, just look around, majority of people I know smoke, and most who don't, support it's legalization.
