Do you think marijuana should be completely legal for everyone to use

I live in Florida, yesterday I went to the polls to vote for ligation of marijuana. Yes I think first and for most sick people should have it it's more important. But I got to thinking what if it was legal for everyone. Think about it this way if the government puts a 20% tax or something to that extent on the purchase of weed then the economy would actually be able to climb from the whole its in right now. People will buy it regardless. This way they can control the refineries. What do you think?

I've never used it but I'd definitely want to use hemp oil if I had a medical condition that warranted it...cancer, seizure problem, etc. I did have a seizure disorder for about 4 years but it ended when I got electrocuted. I'd also like to grow hemp for the seeds, I buy them now for my canaries but they've been irradiated so they don't sprout and I'm sure if they are not irriadiated they'll have more vitamins.

That really not true. Iv known lots of people in different stages of cancer
Iv seen the shit they were given. And the effects those drugs have on them most of them just wanted to find a way to stop the pain. And I speak from personal experience. In high school I had a migraine that lasted 6 months. I've actually lost my vision a few times. Like I'm talking pitch black can't see anything that's half an inch away from your face. I couldn't walk it was hard to get anything done. For the longest time the doctors didn't know what it was we found out by accident that it was a false tumor between my optical nerve causing pressure on my brain near that area. They gave me so much medication it just made everything worse than migraines worse the dizziness actually did have dizziness before. one of the medications that they had me on a ended up hallucinating and almost walking in front of a car in busy traffic hello my dad actually caught me before I step into traffic, the pain wasn't getting better in fact half the time it felt like I was having a heart attack when I took the pills. So at some point I said f*** it and decided to do whatever I could to find weed regardless of the fact that I could have gone to jail just for trying to stop migraines I took that risk I couldn't be on the medication that they were putting me on. Six months later after smoking a lot of weed I went back from an MRI. The doctor and the tech came back in and told me it was all gone. I'm 28 now since than I've only smoked it a total of 20 times 2 maybe because I wanted to get high. But honestly I do not like smoking it to get high and I would rather not smoke it if I didn't have to
