i think that the prohibition of marijuana is no better an idea than the prohibition of alcohol was. Marijuana is a very useful plant. it's a medicine, it can be used to make clothes and rope, it can be used in lotions..... it's easier on a persons system than alcohol or cigarettes and yet our society has placed such a negative view on it that we're not even interested in the benefits of marijuana. not to mention the tons of money wasted to prosecute people and put people in jail for using and selling marijuana. our prison system is packed full of people who have done nothing more than use marijuana and it's just ridiculous.
legalize it and tax it. we'll be a happier society and maybe we can start paying off that trillion some odd dollar deficit.
legalizing marijuana is the smart thing to do.
