<Meanwhile, so much valuable and needed money has been wasted over the past 30 years (since Nixon) fighting an obviously unwinable war, governments and enforcement authorities have become corrupted in the process and the underground economy thrives as the bad guys get richer and richer.

I could go on and on with this issue, but I won't.

Although on the surface is sounds ludicrous, I think we've got to explore varying legalization strategies with all drugs, not just marijuana. That marijuana, a non-physically addicting substance, has gone illegal for so long, itself, is a criminal act given it's more beneign than the effects of achohol which is acceptable in our society.>

Late in my Father's life, he and I would get into some heated debates as he was drawn to the notion of legalization which I was profoundly against it. Since then the futility and social cost in terms of crime, money spent and human suffering etc.; have lead me to start thinking otherwise.
