GET REAL AND LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

The problem with our marijuana laws is not that Prop. 215 doesn't place
limits on medical marijuana; it's that marijuana is not yet legal for
recreational use. It boggles the mind that an activity that is so engrained
in our culture is still illegal. A federal survey in 1997 reported that 20
million Americans smoke on a regular basis. That's one in 10 adults! Why in
the world are we still wasting our tax dollars on the mistaken notion that
we can eventually put every one of those 20 million people in jail? We
can't do that; so instead, the blanket of medical marijuana is perhaps
spread a bit too broadly.

Let's just get real and legalize pot, already.
