HAS THE TIME COME TO LEGALIZE POT?

And he's wrong. 

"Well, I think it's not time for ( legalization ), but I think it's time for a debate," Schwarzenegger said.  "I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues, I'm always for an open debate on it.  And I think we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs.  What effect did it have on those countries?"
