Legalization of Marijuana?

And then there's the other side of Legalizing Marijuana which has some benefits. For one, our jail systems would clear out which would be GREAT for our economy not having to pay for the massive amount of drug users that wouldn't be incarcerated anymore. I feel as this is the best point about it, but is it worth it?

i dont agree with this entire statement. Most people that sell pot sell other drugs too. So they would be in jail anyways.

Oh, and another fringe benefit I seemed to have left out would be the taxation of the drug and extra money the government could make off of it, they would probably have a ridiculoous tax like cigarettes, however, so illegal marijuana would probably never go away.

The cost of illegal marijuana is so high due to the illegality of it. It would cost so much less, even with huge taxes on it, if it were being farmed or mass produced like any other sort of crop.

Since America doesnt grow the best pot, it will remain illegal until they figure out how to make it the best. THe day that they figure out how to create the best weed, then mass production will begin and then prices will go down.

Just imagine, in twenty or thirty years, when oil has been replaced by proper fuel, who will America be invading? Why! The countires that grow the best weed, of course!

I can't say that smoking weed is a big problem around here. The legalisation of it would achieve little.

Marijuana is about as harmless as alcohol. It's not even a drug. Give us some, damn government.

Marijauana is harmless. Alcohol, when consumed in absurd quantities, is very, very dangerous.

Weed > alcohol.

At the risk of going offtopic, I doubt we'd need a real reason if we have the right people in charge.

I suspect America wont be around in twenty or thirty years, or it will be much less powerful than it currently is.

No one country produces 'the best weed.'

And, the best I've smoked was grown right down the street in this old dude's hydroponic system. One hit I was a goner.
