Question: Should marijuana be legalized?

Donna Waytine '72 ‑ No, even though it hasn't been proven harmful, I wouldn't care to take a chance with my health.

Nancy Sutor '71 ‑ It should be legalized, because that would make it a personal choice for the individual.

Julie Robertson '73 ‑ Yes, because it's been proven not harmful. It's more of an urge to use it now. I love it, and the price will go down if it is legalized, saving me money.

Bobbie Black '74 ‑ No, because everyone would die off and be crazy.

Paul Jados '71 ‑ Definitely, along with every other drug. Everyone should have a free choice of what they want to do. It wouldn't influence anyone who wouldn't take it in the first place.

Beth Becker '71 ‑ It's just a cop‑out from society.

Gail Kaechele '74 ‑ No, because it would lead to other things, and the whole country would become drug addicts.

Tracey Burke '71‑If it were legalized, then people would not make such a big deal out of it.

Roxanne Miller '73 ‑ Yes, people who want it will always get it anyway.

Tom Dunteman '71 ‑ Should they legalize murder, suicide, prostitution, gambling, robbery, rape, etc?

Gigi Schueler '72 ‑ No, there are enough kids smoking it now; if they legalize it, it'll just add to the problem.

Norbert Bartosiak '74 ‑ No, because it keeps your mind from being as normal as it could he.

Jo Ellen Humphreys '71 ‑ I think it should be legalized, because then I could turn Mr. Mendralla on.

Jeff Hoke '72 ‑ It doesn't matter. Laughing gas is a better high.

Chris Johanson '73 ‑ As far as I'm concerned, it's fine; but there's always a lot of people who abuse it.

Andy Szczygiel '74 ‑ No, because then the whole world would go to pot.

Ticker Burchard '72 - Yes, because there's zero wrong with it and I don't know; just because. Just about everybody does it anyway.

Jeff Johnson '74 ‑ No, because it leads to higher drugs.

Steve Gerbert '71‑ I feel if you want to do it, do it, as long as you don't hurt anyone else.

Sally Lino '72 ‑ It's just the same as getting drunk; if it is legalized it may bring more trouble around. P.S. I never tried it.

Sue Bednarz '72 ‑ Yes, as long as it can be controlled like liquor, with age requirements.

Matt Koutois '73 ‑ Yes, so the U.S. can start a new business and make more money so they can help people. It would be funny with Spiro Agnew getting stoned.

Loretta Kunes '73 ‑ Yes, because it isn't addicting; it's better than alcohol (alcohol is addicting) and I like it.

Lora Lorentz '71 ‑ No, because first of all kids have shown that they can't handle it; they abuse it. For example: coming to school high or speeding. It also contains THC which isn't good for anyone.

Richard Thompson '72 ‑ Yes, because it will get better and better.

Kathy Sherman '73 ‑ Yes, because if it were legalized, it would be more controlled.

Denise Allen '72 ‑ Yes, because the punishments are too strict.

Dave Gates '71 ‑ If test studies show that it is not harmful, then it's okay.

Joan Germann '72 ‑ Yes, because there's nothing wrong with it, and I don't feel the kids should get in trouble for getting caught with it.

Rick Unger '73 ‑ Yes, because alcohol is legal and alcohol gives you almost the same high as grass; except grass doesn't give you a hangover.
