Pot should be legalized. There is no logic to keeping it illegal. I say this as an old guy who has smoked pot off and on for 50 years and also was the State Director of our office of alcoholism and Drug abuse and was the principle author of our first state plan.

Especially since we keep alcohol legal. Pick up any paper on Monday morning and look at the police actions. Most of them will concern alcohol and you will seldom to never see anything about a pot user unless they are just being arrested.

Scientific American actually had a full cover story awhile back on pot. The research was done at Scripps which any research scientist will tell you does good work

Scientific American called pot: "A tonic for the brain". It does four things: keeps neurons young, cleans out protein build up (i.e. prevents dementia), creates mirror neurons, and new neurons.

The largest long term study on lungs shows moderate smokers had little loss of lung capacity after 20 years of smoking.

I always present this test to any naysayers. Say you have a choice to live in one of two villages. In one village all they do is drink and in the other all they do is smoke pot.

Tell me which village you would pick. Even people who don't like pot and only drink alcohol know the right answer to that question.
