The Secret to Legal Marijuana? Women

Yeah, I gotta jump on board with this one. I don't use it, but it needs to be decriminalized, somewhat regulated and actively discouraged. Leave it to the free market. There are bigger priorities, and better uses for the money spent on busting kids and recreational users.

It's not just busting kids and recreational users. Pot prohibition has created a generation of fatherless and motherless children who were persecuted for doing something harmless in societal terms. There is no excuse for the amount of damage caused by all who have enforced and/or promoted the evil "zero tolerance" program. I go a step farther - not only release EVERYONE with a non-violent, pot related offense NOW but pay them restitution for the unjust harm done unto these innocents and their loved ones who had to suffer the injustices of this insidious 40 year "Drug War". Let's hope that this is the last war that is waged upon the American population.

Legalizing marijuana and releasing the prisoners would save this country billions of dollars. Then there would be room in jails for child molesters and rapists who get released early to make room for non violent drug offenders.

I don't smoke marijuana I've tried it several times it makes me tired so I'm not interested. The pharmacuetical companies are very interested and the paper industry is also. Legalizing weed would cost them billions of dollars because weed can be grown cheaply and from the home and used to treat many ailments and mental issues. Why pay for 100's of dollars a month for prescription meds when you can grow something yourself thats safer and works just as good if not better.
