LEGALIZE POT AND YOU'LL SEE

"It is a battle law enforcement officials know they will never win."
We can win. We can stop the corruption of the environment and the
Mexican cartels' marijuana trade and all other illegal profiteers as
well. Treat marijuana like we treat alcohol. Regulate its production,
distribution and sales. It will end the criminal profits with a
multitude of benefits and little risk to society. The cannabinoids
chemical name for marijuana and its associated chemicals have been
shown repeatedly to be extremely safe if used by responsible adults.
They have considerable therapeutic benefits as well. Yes. We can win.
