Ah, but we will outsmart them, disabuse them of their authority and usher in that new age we know is within reach because we have the goods they lack.

I don't want my kids messing with it, but it's arguably safer for them to puff a joint than to clog their arteries with all that Halloween candy we so enthusiastically encourage kids to collect. There's so many other things that should have much higher priority; we should take marijuana off the criminal radar screen and refocus resources on the top 10 problems (don't know what THOSE are, but I'm certain marijuana isn't one of them.)

The wasted man hours in pursuit of users and minor dealers, and our courts and prison systems overwhelmed with these minor offenders, while real criminals are let out early for lack of space. Legalize it and tax it like liqueur. The reasons they wont do it. How many judges and lawyers would be out of work, and all those DEA agents wouldn't get to play Miami Vice.
