As the younger generations start taking control over politics, the weight will shift in favor of legalizing marijuana, the fight against it does more harm than good and its time to end it, especially since the positive effects out-weight the negatives.
Banning something is never a solution and end up being hypocrite bans, like why is alcohol allowed when it destroys lives and kills thousands of people a year but a silly little plant that helps people relax and mitigate pain is banned? should we ban cars too?
I wonder if there are official numbers in how many people have died in raids against marijuana, i bet the government has killed more people trying to stop plantations and raiding storages than the plant itself... The ban just makes it expensive, harder to get and it promotes crime, making it legal would solve all of this in one big sweep.
The war against marijuana has been a big mistake. Good comment.
