I am in the firm Marijuana should be legal corner. Too many wasted lives from being in and out of jail over it. Too much money spent on a rabbit hole. Too many resources tied up over the prohibition's enforcement.

So smoking should be discouraged, unless it's weed. Got it.

I'm of two minds on this. Prohibition never works. But let's not act like pot is any less a vice than alcohol, smoking etc. LOL comparing it to oreos. At what point are sweets acceptable, then? Should we ban anything but rice cakes and cucumber salad (no dressing)?

Weed has some proven medicinal value, unlike tobacco.

Making it legal, with age restrictions like smoking, putting advisories on packaging, and taxing it all would be a step in the right direction. No one is talking about force feeding it to people who don't want to smoke it, just not incarcerating those who do.

Eliminate the black market, reduce crime, profit from it, everyone wins. Because at the end of the day people want to and are going to get high legal or not, might as well make it safer and make money off it.
