In the entire history of humanity, all attempts to interfere with human nature have failed. Making marijuana illegal was a political tool from the get go, and it has primarily resulted in billions of dollars wasted on failed drug enforcement, making criminals out of millions of perfectly harmless people and creating another very profitable market for criminals to exploit. It is about time for government to get its royal head out of its cavernous ass and start living in the real world. Take the money saved from drug enforcement and prosecution and spend it on important things like infrastructure, education, healthcare, food or just plain reducing the national debt.
