it can't be "legalized" for a few reasons.....the government can not tax something that if it was legal, you could grow it yourself.....they can't regulate the growing of it, of how potent the plants would be, there are some savvy green thumbs out there.....I don't smoke anymore, did for many years, used to buy it for 20 dollars an ounce in my younger days. In all those years I have Never seen a news report that someone has smoked pot and murdered their entire family or broke into someones house and murdered them, as with many of the other street drugs that are out there...It isn't a violence inducing drug, it sort of makes some people do nothing at all...The other thing is if legalized it will be in more abundance than it is now, and minors would have greater access to it, all they have to do is rip off a plant or weed from their parents or siblings or friends of.....Most people who still smoke that I know, work everyday, are good taxpaying citizens, don't cause trouble and don't call in sick due to Alcohol induced hangovers.....Think that Law Enforcement and the DEA should go after the METH heads and the makers of.....treatment for the users, and jail for the manufacturers....That is such a far worse drug.....If they were to legalize it the Drug Zar wouln't have much of a job, and the amount we let in the country from Mexico wouldn't enable the seizures of property that the states get to auction off.....I do think it should be DE-Criminalized, putting someone in jail for personal use, with less than an ounce in jail with murderers, rapists, and borderline nut jobs is crazy....it does nothing but make money for the state/county, and if they get locked in the system they will come out worse a person than before they went in.....I think this country has far worse problems to worry about than someone who smokes a little pot after work to relax.....Alcohol is 100x's worse, causes more deaths, accidents, violence, and health related than pot ever could....It is legal because it can be regulated and TAXED=$$$$....I do also think if ever decriminalized, if you give or sell to minors you should be in trouble, just like alcohol......I think our law enforcement people have far worse stuff to deal with than weed.......
