Most people should know my answer...LEGALIZE IT NOW!
I agree with everything Yorick has said. I also agree with everything G'kar has said.
The U.S. war on drugs is for the most part a war on immigration, poverty and the inner city. How often do you see a drug raid on a house in suburbia? Almost never. How often do you see a drug raid on a house in the slums of an inner city. Every day! There are just as many people using drugs in middle and upper class suburbs as there are in the inner city, yet look at the racial breakdown of our prison system for drug use.
Besides, if the government legalized marijuana it would be free to tax the hell out of it - making more money for themselves for something people spend billions of dollars on every year. Marlboro has already trademarked the marijuana leaf symbol for the inevitability that it will become legal (they'll be called Marlboro Blue's, by the way.)
I won't take all day listing all the other MANY reasons this should happen. The main reason I want it to become legal is that I love the sh*t. I'm an otherwise law-abiding citizen who finds it rather unjust that I could be thrown in jail for sitting in my house minding my own business with a bag of pot.
