the only convincing arguement I've read so far is that booze and tobacco are legal,then why not the wacky ta-backy. that's a fair and valid argument,but if that's the case,then why stop there. Why not make all forms of prostitution and gambling legal while were at it. Why not lower the age of marriage to 13 and marry animals while were at it. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

I could just as easily counter your argument by saying "weed is illegal, so why stop there? Alcohol is responsible for 88,000 deaths in the US every year, so why not make that illegal too? Why not cigarettes? Heck, why don't we just remove all forms of medication too". See how easy it is for me to blurt out nonsense using the reverse of your logic?

People are going to smoke weed if it’s legal or not. It’s not an A class drug, it’s easy to make and easy to buy. Why not make it legal and benefit from the taxes you can impose on it? We already do it for more dangerous drugs.
