Many proponents of marijuana decriminalization have argued partially decriminalizing marijuana would largely reduce costs of maintaining the criminal justice and law enforcement systems, while fully decriminalizing marijuana to allow the cultivation and sale would generate a substantial amount of income from taxing marijuana sales. Other arguments assert that the funds saved from marijuana decriminalization could be used to enforce laws for other, more serious and violent crimes.

There are so many reasons why Cannabis should be legalized, but I fear that too many people have an old fashioned mindset regarding the plant.
Will it be legalized? Probably, largely due to the fact that the internet gives people a medium to debunk myths about the "dangers" of marijuana. Yet, people cling to these myths for dear life. They're terrified of pot. Things are changing, though.
More and more states are adopting Medical Marijuana programs, a step in the direction of legalization. Public opinion is warming to the idea of legalized pot, slowly but surely.

I think its a waste of time. Making it legal won't help. A lot of people who smoke also do other drugs as well. It's not like druggies make this the drug of choice, its a drug of availability.

Drug War was lost long time ago. Even drug police wants to legalize it to some extent. I'd like government to legalize marijuana and put it on same category as alcohol - do it at home but not in public or driving. Remember kids - say no to drug! ;)

There's a point there, the crime rate may go down, and the cost of keeping criminals down. Our tax money can go towards other important things such as education, healthcare, and of course our streets. It's pretty sad that nation wide our law officers are being laid off due to the cost of maintaining the law.
