So what do people think? Is it really the devils herb it's been painted to be for so long? Or have (mainly American) governments been ignoring established fact that marijuana is a useful herb in treating various illnesses (glaucoma, cancer, ect).

Whatchy'all think? Plus, let us know the legality of cannabis in your respective countries.
I don't understand your supporting evidence. Maybe I'm being a tad presumptuous here, but you seem to be implying that you spoke marijuana for recreational reasons and yet you use marajuana's medical uses as a reason that your use of marijuana should be legal. It's fine that you believe your use of marijuana should be legalized, but stating its medical characteristics doesn't do anything to help your cause unless you're using it for medical reasons.

Anyways, I really dislike weed. I don't like the feeling of being drunk, nonetheless high. Also, I have a bit of a prejudgment that I can't shake when it comes to pot. I imagine all the kids I've seen smoking it in their little packs and it sends shivers down my spine. Nonetheless, I support legalizing it. I don't really think I nor the government has the right to act on our societal dislikes unless a legitimate threat to others comes up and in my opinion, weed doesn't cut it for that.

In Canada, I don't remember the exact law, but I believe carrying under so many grams is legal, although I don't remember if it has to be for medical purposes or not.
