Legalize marijuana and all other drugs, what you put in your body is a health issue not a criminal justice issue.

If pot is legalized, the price goes down. That's lost revenue ;)

The will of an individual to take in substances is of no affair of the state. No matter what drug, the state should not mingle into the affairs of the individual. As long as someone takes marijuana for their own personal use, and does not in any way harm anybody else, I see no problem in legalising marijuana.

The criminalisation of marijuana can be directly compared to the Prohibition era in the United States during the early 1920s. The sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages were unconditionally banned, and this unfortunately resulted in a huge amount of crime being perpetrated by criminal gangs, such as Al Capone's mafia, who smuggled the alcohol into the United States and killed anyone in their way. This is exactly the same with the drug lords and cartels. On top of this nearly 2 million people are arrested in the United States each year due to marijuana use, and billions upon billions of dollars have been spent of the defective ''War on Drugs''.

Legalise marijuana...not only for the sake of reducing crime and potentially saving many lives...but for the sake of basic liberty. No matter what political views we may have, governments should never have the right dictate what we should or shouldn't put into our bodies.
