Question: Is smoking weed (marijuana) legal in some States?
Answer: No. Every State, from Alabama, Colorado, Kentucky to Vermont, including Arizona and every State in between, has enacted various criminal penalties for the possession, use, cultivation, transportation and distribution, of marijuana, including even the smallest of quantities.
Arizona punishes possession of amounts less than two pounds as a class six felony with fines between $750 and $150,000 and jail or prison time from six months to a year and a half.
A few States have decriminalized marijuana use and possession in small amounts (N. Carolina and California for example) but even there, its still illegal.

It has been proven that smokeing cigarettes are more harmful to your health the marijuana is. I think it should be legalized but made like cigarettes you have to be at least 18 to smoke it or buy it. marijuana is not addictive it is also helpful for some it is percription medication.

Well I don't think that people should have the right to smoke it because especially if they are underage. They will do anything if they don't have the money to get it, like steal other people's money. Once they are addicted they can not get off of it. And I think they should go to prison for years to make them understand that weed is a drug like cocaine, and other substances, so what if weed doesn't do much as others its still a illegal drug. So why let your children smoke it, their just losing brain cells, and probably getting into trouble smoking. That's why our country is not all that good.
