Editor's Note: We received a lot of feedback from you last night after the first report in our weeklong series, 'America’s High: The case for and against pot.' Many wrote in saying that they use it regularly and it should be legalized. A few felt the interview with “Lisa” wasn’t a good example since she had “bi-polar disorder and she belongs on Lithium to begin with,” and marijuana isn’t a cure all. Overall, viewers were glad to see the topic being discussed. What do you think?

I am a 51-year-old woman who has smoked since the age of 20, have a happy a family and a good job, never miss a day of work, always vote. I have to say it just sickens me to think that I do something illegal. I am as far from a criminal as they come, but yet I could go to jail for this. It’s insane that marijuana is illegal and alcohol is legal, just insane.

I would hope that America will embrace the reality that legalizing this crop will open many more doors than just the drug, we might have just found our alternative to corn ethanol, not to mention the enumerable uses within all our other areas of life, the nutritional value of hemp seed is unbelievable!!

That Marijuana is illegal and alcohol is not is a great American hypocrisy! Using the same arguments that anti decriminalization zealot’s use, then tobacco should definitely be illegal as well. That drug addicts tens of millions, is a known health hazard and continues to be readily available for use and sale. Albeit with healthy taxes being collected on the legal sale and distribution of this drug each day. Thanks Anderson/CNN for revisiting this in a national prime time forum!

Come on...We have prescription drugs that are far, far more dangerous than pot...heck we even advertise them on tv...People take them like candy and just go to the doctor and get more...Where's the outcry from the American public...there to drugged on prescriptions...

Thank you for not being afraid to look into this topic. For or against the legalization, the aversion of so many to even discuss it is archaic at best and dangerous at worst.

If made legal are we going to do away with drug testing? Our doctors are going to be high during open heart surgery and the police will be stopping people to take away their pot to take home. School kids will be high in class because weed is now the new smokes.

We thought that Melissa had great views and insight into the truth behind marijuana, thank you to cnn, anderson and all those behind airing this great story

To me the answer to legal pot or illegal pot is easy. I'd rather be surrounded by a bunch of mellow potheads than a bunch of loud and aggressive drunks. The hypocrisy of lawmakers and moral police who drink and act like jerks is astonishing! They excuse any behavior by claiming it was the booze that caused them to act that way. But it's legal, so...party on!

I don't feel like the story about the negative reaction to Marijuana was valid. The girl had bi-polar disorder; she belongs on Lithium to begin with. That's how the illness is treated. By using such a story that has nothing to do with truly using marijuana for medicinal purposes in the correct general use gives it no merit at all. Hopefully CNN tries to find a better reason not to smoke marijuana.

My precious sister died last week after a battle with cancer. She was only 55. Of all the medicine she was given the ONLY thing that gave her any relief or comfort was marijuana. If you had to watch someone you love die in pain you would legalize it too.
