POT LAWS FUTILE

People railing about the suggestion that marijuana should be legalized
absolutely baffle me. The present laws do not protect the "health and
welfare" of our children because everyone simply ignores the laws anyway.
Will somebody show me one person who was deterred from experimenting with
pot because it was illegal?

Whether it is beneficial, harmful or somewhere in-between can be debated
until the cows come home. Meanwhile, we're spending half a billion dollars
enforcing laws most people could care less about when that money could be
spent catching, prosecuting, and incarcerating the @#$%! who just stole
your car.
