Should states legalize marijuana ?

I'm for legalizing most drugs, letting those currently incarcerated for only drug possession offenses out of jail and diverting most of the money spent on drug offense enforcement to addiction treatment facilities. I still think we need drug offense enforcement to deal with people who sell drugs to under age individuals.

It would also be good to have certified drug purchasing locations (like the marijuana dispensaries we have here in California) for other drugs as well so that people could purchase drugs with known levels of potency and known additives as opposed to chancing what they can get on the street. This would reduce the profitability of drug trafficking and hopefully reduce the crime associated with that.

Dispensaries would also allow those interested in drugs a chance to learn more about them and get honest information about the negatives associated with them. They could make more informed decisions about what they chose to achieve their goal.

Agree with all you said.
 

As long as MJ serves a human purpose, someone will supply it, either with or without "legal" approval. We've had almost a century of draconian drug laws, which were devised to stamp out elicit drug use.. Today, any drug your little heart desires is only a phone call away from being delivered at your door. I think it's time to understand that man made laws cannot equal the power of human demand, and will always fail. That may not be the answer some would like., it's not a Disney like Utopia, it's reality.

Well said. History tells us of how well Prohibition worked out....
 

For job interviews, one doesn't need a drug test to determine if the candidate smokes dope. Just have a big jar of M&Ms in plain view on the desk and watch the reaction. :)

I am surprised that my state hasn't legalized MJ because they couldn't resist the income from legalizing gambling and we are known as the "Land of 10,000 taxes". I don't really have an opinion either way as to whether MJ should be legalized or not, though there are some very good arguments in favor of doing so in this thread.
