I really don't see much of an issue with this. The thing is, people that smoked weed even when it was illegal are going to continue to smoke weed now, and I'm sure the majority of the people who didn't smoke weed before still won't. Crime rate won't rise, it may even slope down. Marijuana related crimes will no longer exist with the legalization of it. Does this mean I want to smoke weed? Nah, I'm smart enough to know how badly that will screw up my goals.

You're thinking of crack again. Very different. It's been shown repeatedly through several studies that marijuana has barely any addictive qualities to, if any at all. The greatest chance a person has of becoming addited to it is if they develop a mental/emotional addiction, something that doesn't result solely from drug use. When someone becomes addicted to marijuana it isn't because marijuana is some hardcore drug like meth or cocaine; it's because that person simply develops mental or emotional addictions easily.
And when it comes to driving, at worst marijuana use is about as bad as consuming alcohol, and should legally amount to the same thing. The only change that legalizing marijuana would bring is the decriminalization of marijuana use. There would be less crime and less people would go to jail for something very minor.
Lastly, you're a jackass if you're serious about that illuminati crap. I sincerely hope you aren't.

It's ridiculous. I say save it for people who need it and let the ones who don't get a life that has a little meaning.
Legalizing it would leave all the hustlers out on the streets broke, so do some brothers a favor and don't favor for legalization. Thanks. <img src="/chatrooms/smilies/alien1.gif" alt="">
