Penn Says / Legalize Marijuana

Penn and Teller are complete teetotalers. Penn is a very contrary individual and anyone that hears him talk regularly can tell he is a very rational guy despite his eccentricities.

As for your grades- was it weed that caused that? Im sure if you spent your high school years going to amusement parks rather than studying or attempting to improve yourself your grades would drop just as much if not more. I don't believe that the act of smoking marijuana has any mystical tether to grades or success in general. It sounds to me as if weed was your scapegoat for making bad personal decisions.

If there was not such a thriving black market no one would have to steal. You can grow the plant for pennies and sell it for hundreds of times that much, the profit is incredible (which is why a black market exists). As for addiction, practically everything is addictive including food, tanning, porn and gambling. A person can become chemically addicted to caffeine (perfectly legal in addition to being marketed and given to children), while with marijuana no chemical dependence is formed.

Alcohol causes much more damage and causes way more deaths than Marijuana ever has or will.. yet Alcohol is legal. Why not criminalize drinking alcohol? Because Prohibition doesn't work. Well, Niether does the "War on drugs". More people are likely to die of an OD from legal prescription drugs than from smoking pot. Pot's Death toll still stands at 0. as for stealing.. people will steal regaurdless... as long as money continues to be our God.. then stealing and poverty will continue. Legalize!!

You're a tool and all those people you know are losers.

Right on. WHY IS IT A CRIME WHEN ALL IT DOES IS EASE THE MIND? MARILIZE LEGAJAUANA! FORREAL THOUGH, DECRIMINALIZE IT.

I get what your saying. But I don't know, personally I still think it's wrong. I know a few people who steal to smoke marijuana. I know people who are addcited to it, and so waste a lot of money on the drug rather than their family. And when I used to smoke marijuana, and I was in school; my grades which were once A's dropped to D's and C's. From what I see around me and from my own personal experience I could safely say that marijuana causes greater damage than good.

Considering the fact that the majority of their professional careers took place in Vegas? Yeah. I dont believe them.

You make a great point!!!!! Thank you!

I don't smoke anything, but I certainly don't condemn anyone for making choices about their own bodies.

The only thing that should be illegal is being under the influence while having others under your care such as flying passenger planes or driving, etc.

I know people IN MY TOWN who never took any substances, including tobacco (impressive considering I live in Kentucky). Is it really that hard for you to believe Penn and Teller never used drugs?
