We must acknowledge marijuana has become a part of our culture, and no amount of money for prisons, police, prosecutors and punishment is going to change that. Marijuana prohibition is utterly hypocritical as both alcohol and tobacco, despite their health risks, are available to adults in a regulated taxed system.
