DEBATING THE PROS AND CONS OF LEGALIZING POT

It's a great idea to legalize pot. I don't do it personally, but I
agree that it can help the economy. By placing a tax on it, the
government will be receiving the profit, not dealers, which will help
regulate drugs and possible crime. Because the government regulates
the plant, then it can be dealt with in the same ways as they do with
alcohol.

If we treat the sale of cannabis just like alcohol, then it shouldn't
present any more problems than it does now, while bringing in more
money to the state.
