Coffee is NOT MJ and Oxy is NOT MJ, but there have been plenty of studies that prove that MJ does have dangerous or long term side effects. CBD is MJ without the THC, or very little. It has uses and has yet to be deemed dangerous, therefore it is not illegal. THC is illegal and I want to know why you would want it legalized.
Today's MJ is much stronger than the old stuff most of you hippies smoked/still smoke. It really IS a gateway drug from some. This is why I vote NO for legalizing MJ. I don't have much problem with using it for medical purposes, BUT most of it is being used for recreational purposes even though subscribed by doctors.
I use LEGAL CBD oil but I do NOT use MJ in any other form. I use the stuff without THC.
And for those that insist on comparing MJ with alcohol, I would have no problem if they banned liquor in any form for anything other than some form of medical purpose. Tell me where alcohol has done any good. If you insist that you need something to "relax" you, then try exercise. Exercise works wonders for stress.

Hmm, well, I agree with most of what you said here. What I don't understand is why you feel you should deny someone else what they want to use to "relax" or get "stoned" or any other reason someone may want to use something.
I certainly understand making it illegal to drive while intoxicated or do any other activity that might put others' lives in danger. I completely agree with regulating access to it for minors.
And yes, I am in favor of making all drugs legal for recreational use. Just like I am in favor of many things for recreational purposes that I personally would never use or do.
Making something legal does not mean it is not regulated. Just like making something regulated does not make it illegal.
