Medical marijuana is very easy to get. You just need to think of a problem tell a medical marijuana doctor and boom you got weed. I thought this was to be for seriously ill people and not for your average joe who would rather get high for his headaches rather than take asprin. It should be legalized so the state can profit from the sales. Instead you have tons of shops that are supposed to be non profit yet they are turning a huge profit in violation of state law. When will any of these laws be enforced? I know the doctors most times ignore the medical board guidelines when recommending pot. The stores do not follow state guidelines so what is the deal?

It's interesting b/c it shows that many people think of pot as light hearted and fun. With the funny names and the bakery goods. That is good and downplays that pot is a drug in the same category as cocaine or meth.

However, not really sure how this builds a case for or against legalization. How about showing how many jobs could be created if legalized, and how it would be good for farmers. Also some stories about how much crime would DECREASE if legalized, regulated, and taxed.

Well the series is all over and just a memory. I think Melissa Etheridge was the only story that showed the case for pot.

The other stories are just going to scare people that know nothing about it.

Another thing you could have shown is some stats on how many people go to clinics and rehab for pot as opposed to alcohol. And I'm not talking about the people who smoke pot AND went to cocaine or meth or bipolar folks.. How many folks in rehab are just pot users.

I dont really know,or understand your reason,to make this series.O.k its done!There is no question for people,they have pain,to use everything to help them,to life or die.But i dont understand your question to legalize using pot.There are so many crazzy people right out there,without using pot,not knowing what, or who they are,so we dont need more of this people.The world is burning, and all you,as a journalist is asking for,is legalize pot.

I must admit that at the start of the week I was genuinely excited and hoped to see a fair and balanced piece on this pot topic once and for all. But what was shown either strengthened the argument for continued prohibition or clouded the minds of those unsure of their stance. I will admit it was one of the more liberal pieces on the subject I've seen in such mainstream media in a while.

Thanks for at least trying CNN.

Umm,umm,goood,...

Well said "Interesting... but...."

I guess with the way the world is, legalization is low on the priority list. But this is an important issue.

Anderson, it would have been nice to see more focus on some of the arguments of the prolegalization comments.

They say crime will go down, it will hurt the drug cartels, money could be made. It would have been nice to see some of these.

Houses and forest that have pot growing? And the DEA busting in? I think a meth and cocaine lab is a little more destructive and evil. Anderson, you kinda made it look like pot was as evil as meth and cocaine with the big tough DEA soldiers busting those evil green plants.

Just one tax payers opinion.

I agree with the comment above.
The series of reports were good, but could have more detailed and depth content.

The issue of drugs, in general, is much heavier and denser. The matters should have shown all the drama in relation to drugs.

Marijuana should be leagalized period. The only people who benefit from marijuana being illegal are gangs, drug dealers, and drug cartels. Marijuana is already here, in every town and city in every state all over the country, and the people who want to smoke it are already smoking it, there is no shortage of it.

I do not believe marijuana is a gateway drug. I do know that the only place to get marijuana in most places is from drug dealers who also sell cocaine and any other drugs they can make a quick profit from. For someone to claim they are addicted to cocaine because they smoked pot is rediculus. They got addicted to cocaine because they decided to start doing cocaine. However, I do believe like any thing marijuana can be abused.

Marijuana is already here and it is not going anywhere, so why are we sending all this would be revenue over our borders, or into the hands of drug dealers and gangs. There are too many hard working, law abiding citizens who are considered criminals in the eyes of the law because of rediculus laws surrounding marijuana. Ask any one of these people and I bet they will tell you they would have no problem paying a high tax on legal marijuana. This money could be used to fix our crumbling schools and better the communites, rather than fighting an endless fight that can never be won, because if people want to smoke they are going to smoke.

It's all fluff, and looks good...

but I think the whole week was really just for ratings. Im sure CNN's ratings went up for the week while the content was weak, made no case for or against, and left only one result.....

people who don't know anything about it are now scaried to death that it's grown in their neighborhood and forest. We can surely count on these kind hearted folks that dont know anybody to vote to keep it illegal and for the crime to continue.

Thanks CNN and Anderson. Prohibition, Drug Cartels, Violence, and Crime will continue because of you.

But at least our children will be safe.

What a *&^%$# world.
