Legalize It Already

There is more and more of a movement to legalize marijuana.

Check out this article from California about the federal government no longer going after medical marijuana suppliers.

And the Economist going even further to saying all drugs should be legalized globally, let's focus on less expensive treatment of potential addictions (which is always a steady proportion of the population regardless of legalization) instead of spending 44 billion dollars per year it takes in the global drug wars. Please also check out the copious comments after the article, it is a very interesting debate and at times not so "nice". People are passionate either way for sure.....

They make a very compelling argument that legalization is indeed the "least bad" solution.
