> Astounding lack of skepticism You must not live in a conservative area. Where I live (Utah) is certainly an outlier, but skepticism is all I hear without any talk of the benefits of legalization. I believe that marijuana was wrongfully criminalized. If marijuana were legal today, would you support an initiative for making it controlled? I think the discussion about marijuana is tainted by its current status as a controlled substance. It's currently treated as if it had no medicinal benefits, and that's clearly not the case. In fact, it's pretty clear that it's less bad than alcohol and tobacco, yet it's banned. If we can't come up with a rational reason to ban it, it should be legalized and controlled to the extent that it causes harm.
