  To be fair. Human rights is something vastly different as weed. I would compare the illegality of weed to the illegality of say...meth

  As long as they smoke it at home, sure. Even if it's illegal, people are going to get it anyway, so might as well make it legal so it can be regulated. People are going to find substances to abuse and ruin their bodies whether you like it or not, so might as well regulate it and profit off of it.

  Weed doesn't ruin your body though!
  
  As for the debate about weed while pregnant, I personally don't think you should inhale anything that can affect an underdeveloped brain.

  Did you not read the article? Some how the mothers that did smoke weed, their children where able to... "The differences that the researchers did notice, that are unexplained and kind of curious are that the babies of the women who had smoked cannabis — and we’re talking about daily use during their pregnancy — socialized more quickly, made eye contact more quickly and were easier to engage." HOW IS THAT BAD? Seems to be alot better.

  I think it was not saying "smoke all of the weed you want while pregnant! it won't hurt and it even helps!!!!"
  it's more like suggesting that cannabis may be used as if it were a prenatal vitamin once legalized and more research is done

  If everything that seemed good was good we'd still have slavery and women would never be allowed to leave the kitchen.
  
  There are more studies that say it is harmful if taken during pregnancy than saying that it helps, but stoners ignore the ones that say it's harmful because it doesn't fit their agenda.

  In that case no one should smoke anything until 21 because scientists have proven that the brain is not fully developed until adulthood.

  That research is heavily skewed and biased, there won't be any conclusive results for about 10-30 more years.
  
  I can easily flip that data and interpret it negatively.

  I think a better example would be the debate on whether babies can feel pain or not. For the longest time scientists actually had no idea if babies experienced pain, but just because they're unsure of it doesn't mean they're gonna smack the shit out of a baby when it pisses them off. I'd like to think the same logic applies here, there's not enough information regarding the effect of weed on pregnant woman to deduce that when you're pregnant you should be getting high so your babies are smarter.

  If you think that Marijuana has absolutely no effect on the body, I will have to say that is not true. As for all of you debating about weed and babies/weed while pregnant....? If you're smoking or doing drugs period while you're pregnant, I'll just leave it that you're a rather poor person, and I wouldn't mind a world without you.
  
  While I will admit that Marijuana isn't that bad of a drug, it does hinder cognitive function and put strain on the cardiovascular system (this would be horrible for a pregnant woman to do, just an fyi), not to mention there aren't any major studies on the effects of Cannabis on the endocrine system in humans (though effects on animals have shown suppression of hormones, whilst in humans, we haven't seen this in the short-term studies done, but as stated, there aren't any long term studies on this).
  
  Smoke weed, don't smoke weed, I honestly couldn't care. It's not that bad, and it's your life, your body, and whether a person does or doesn't smoke weed doesn't even remotely matter to me.
  
  I've been offered to partake in such activities as some of my friends do so, but I decline for the following reason:
  A. I have Asthma, and I don't think strain on my cardiovascular system would be pleasant.
  B. I'm Seventeen years old, I still live in a home under my parent's rule, and they would murder me.
  C. I have no interest in drugs or alcohol.
  
  tldr; It's yooooooo lifeeeeee

  lol, these two statement contradict with each other.
  
  If there is a debate about weed while pregnant, then, the statement weed won't ruin your body is completely false.
  
  Earlier last century, it was inconceivable to think that smoking is harmful to the body. In fact, they promoted smoking as healthy to the body.
  
  Also, concerning illegal drugs, if you worry about the law, don't do it.
  Some jobs/professions won't accept you if you broke an illegal substance law.
