There are users and there are abusers, don't condemn the users for the acts of the abusers. People drink on weekends, that does not mean they are alchoholics. It is the same with those who use other drugs. Weed should be legislated exactly like alchohol.

Edit....

Alcohol was legalized after the Great Depression to raise money and stop crime; during this depression hopefully we'll do the same thing with marijuana. We cannot forget our history. Criminals like Al Capone and organized crime, dangerous speak easys, tax evasion, international waters issues, Canadian and Mexican alcohol imports, rum runners and boot legers were stopped overnight with the legalization of alcohol.

$50 an ounce tax sounds fair, as long it taxes beer, wine, whiskey and all alcohol $50 an ounce. Who do these brain-dead drunks think they are?
This is a plant that grows from the dirt that god put here. This is pure idiocy.
We will be a sober nation, that means all alcohol producers are drug dealers now if we are truly "Saving the Children" . Anyone opposed to "Full Legalization" of marijuana better have proof of a lifetime of sobriety. That means if you ever got drunk you are a "druggy" and should be put in prison. Otherwise we are listening to a bunch of drunken idiotic hypocrites.
Time to end this drunk insanity. America will be sober or it will be free. No more drunken leaders!!!
