Have never used mj, and been against it all my life, but I'm ready to legalize it. It's obvious that we can't win the war on drugs. Isn't going to happen, just like prohibition. I think the one good is that it might keep some from going to harder drugs. Had a childhood friend who got on hard stuff. Ask him Why? He said he started on weed, then dealer said he didn't have any weed, but he had these pills. Can I say for sure it'll be a deterrent to harder drugs? No, but I can say for sure we can't stop its use, plus we spend untold millions trying to police it and locking up those using it. And from what I'm told, it doesn't affect most anymore than alcohol. All I can say is, Uncle. Legalize and tax it.
