Good so legalize and tax it.They are both bad and alcohol should be banned from the United State. There are untold numbers of people killed, injured and crimes committed under the influence of alcohol and drugs. It is destroying our country from within.Logic like that above got reefer passed to legal. I agree to decriminalize it in quantities of a few ounces or less but what has been done will back fire and bring in more and more gangsters. So what if it can cure every disease known to man? Then make it legal for medical applications instead of the present status. Let's give this a year or two more and then take a hard look at the states legalizing it. Getting "stoned" is trash no matter how one does it and no one can tell me the reason reefer is legal is for the heart felt concern for the ill and sick instead of stoners celebrating victor y in the name of getting blitzed legally. Hell, just look at the packaging and names of the pot, that says it all.
If you dont feel the same about alcohol you're a hypocrite.
It was already tried, and failed miserably. The simple fact is unless you remove demand there will always be a supply, and that supply makes people rich.
