I noticed that the legalization of marijuana was brought up in the thread entitled "Moving". Instead of being off-topic there, I thought that we could discuss it here.

I'm sure that a great lot of you will loudly proclaim that it should be legalized. I, too, believe that it should be.

I also don't use marijuana. I have in the past, but it's not my cup of tea, so to speak. However, I believe that its legalization will solve many problems. Deforestation would grind to a halt. It also has its obvious medicinal purposes.

However, I will also freely admit that its acceptance will pose some new problems. DUI laws would obviously change.

I do not believe that it could be commercialized and taxed, however. The fact is, any idiot with a lamp can grow a good plant. Or do you disagree?

There are many books regarding this topic, also. Has anyone read any? I, myself, do have Jello Biafra's "Grow More Pot" on audio mp3 if anyone is interested. Reach me via AIM if you want the data transfer.
