PROS AND CONS OF LEGAL MARIJUANA

Let's all give a puff, I mean a toast, to John Liu for taking a stand 
on legalizing marijuana. There is no logical reason for alcohol to be 
legal and not weed. Scientists have long abandoned the notion that 
marijuana causes users to try other drugs, and despite all the money, 
manpower and jail sentences, any high-school student can easily get 
weed. So let's stop the charade, stop filling prisons with users and 
put a stop to the criminal market that targets our kids. Legalize 
weed. It will employ a lot of people and bring in business profits 
and tax revenues.
