THE UPS & DOWNS OF LEGALIZED HIGHS

I'D LIKE to commend Stu Bykofsky on one of the best commonsense 
columns I've read in a while.

Legalized marijuana would empty prisons and free up the court system 
and the police, while adding billions in tax revenues. Plus everyone 
would be mellowed out.

The grocery stores would be selling more snacks, several new 
businesses would start, and there would probably be a whole lot less shooting.

P.S. If it does happen, I can't wait for the commercials.
