I think its idiotic to keep it illegal. Cigarettes and alcohol are way worse for your health. Alcohol induces violence whereas weed calms you down. Statistics show 88,000 deaths every year atributable to alcohol, 5 million..that's right 5 MILLION deaths per year caused by smoking tobacco, 0 deaths EVER caused by smoking weed (of course if you do something stupid while stoned out of your mind you might die but we're talking about clinical deaths here). Also if they made it legal and taxed it there's so much money to be made too. Taking someones freedom to experiment alternate states of mind and cause no harm to anybody...words can't express my frustration.
