This decision should be countered with a massive education plan to indicate the potential for health problems with regular marijuana use. Pot is a mild drug and no worse than alcohol. If anything should be banned, it should be cancer causing cigarettes. With legalizing pot, police forces can now concentrate on protecting us from hard drugs and real criminals.
