I think it's high time marijuana is legalized. (no pun intended) I think this will solve many problems. Make it legal, tax it, and put age limits on legally buying it, just like alcohol and cigarettes are now. I mean, face facts, it's been around for years, always readily available, and that's while it has been illegal, so why not just legalize the stuff? I don't smoke it myself. I won't say I haven't ever smoked it, but I just don't get anything out of it, much the same way people that don't smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. It's not like more people will smoke it if it's suddenly made legal. If you're not interested in it now, why would the legalization of it make your more interested in taking up the habit? That's just a one-sided opinion of someone that is highly against it. And as for more of our youth having easy access to it if it were to be legalized, that's just a bunch of hooey! I was a youth when I used to smoke it, and I never had a problem getting a nickel bag when I was interested in purchasing, and I'm sure today's youth has no problem hunting it down if they want it either.

So get with the 21st century, get over it and smoke it if you want to, don't if you don't, but stop the preaching that it's the start of things worse to come by the legalization of marijuana!
