I have never used marijuana or any other drug ever, however I am also a proponent of it's legalization. First of all, there are many, proven medicinal benefits for various diseases and chronic pain. Secondly, legalizing it would almost instantly help turn around the economy of many states struggling financially right now. To me, this is a no-brainer. Folks just have to step away from the stigma and look at it logically. Prohibition put an end to all of the violence and corruption of bootlegging and we lived to tell about it. Legalizing marijuana would be far less dramatic.
