I have a former police officer friend who says that pot prohibition will end in America about 5 years after the first state legalizes. That first legalization could come as early as this November in California.
Hey!! If we legalize drugs in general, we might save Mexico from the drug lords, save many lives from drug killings, get rid of ridiculous drug SWAT teams, get rid of about 1/3 of our prison population, gain billions in sales and other taxes, and free up 40B dollars.
Ah, well. Never happen.

Oh, the drug lords will simply start smuggling tax-free, Master-settlement-free, cigarettes.

Brett,
For a two pack a day user the equivalent weed is cheaper than tobacco.
Think of how it will destroy the country, though!
For the first 161 years of this country's history, marijuana was legal. Do we really want to return to such a failed experiment?
