    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.

    I think that they should make pot legal in all of the states because there are sick people everywhere. If you make pot legal I will love you forever and ever! Whenever you smoke cigarettes you sometimes become light-headed and pot does almost the same thing except last longer and slows the process of getting any type of cancer. Oh and it makes the light-headedness feel stronger. So please make pot legal. Because I am still going to do it whether you guys like it or not!!!!!!!!!!!

    This too is to Wesley Tongate. I haven't seen you since you were a tiny kid bro but I'm guessing I'm right about who this is. Get help. If you need help then post a way for me to get in touch with you and I'll do all I can to lend you a hand, but living on the streets is nowhere to be and hopefully you'll wake up and realise that. I hope I'm right about who this is and I hope you see this. Chuck your brother.

    I think smoking weed should be legal I mean people are going to do It anyways... But if it was legal Marlburo would sale it and so would everyother smoking company then they would put chemicals and stuff in it and make it just as bad on your lungs as cigarettes and then noone would want it to be legal because it wouldn't be as good but you could always grow it at home!
