People that think marijuans is the problme are just ignorant and are unable or unwilling to face the truth. If you are a criminal it is because of you not because you smoke weed. If you start doing drugs like cocaine or meth its because you wanted to not because of weed. Stop blaming this country's lazynesson marijuana. My frind smoked for a long time and she is a very successful business woman. Most people I know that smoke are very succesful individuals with good jobs, nice homes and great lives. Yes leagalizing would be a great financial help for this country. And to the guy that said it would only "explode the trades in heroin, meth and crack", you are obviously uneducated. Anyone that thinks that all pot smokers are "unproductive losers" leads a sad closed minded life. Before you post a comment on something you really should make sure you know what you are talking about. This country has wasted millions of our tax dollars on a drug war and imprisoning people for the smallest marijusan infraction. We need to stop letting them waste our money on something that most of America does not support.

Marijuana; always the scapegoat
This is a comment on "Marijuana starting to look like a new revenue source for states"

I'm being silly here, but correction is required. The true number is in the 100s of billions of dollars when you consider all efforts by the combined agencies of government from crop spraying in foreign countries, border controls, national, state, and local law enforcement efforts, and of course everyone's favorite: incarceration.
Everything else here is spot on. I enjoy a smoke. I also have a career which pays pretty well. I've never committed any crimes apart from the odd traffic violation. In my opinion, the Big Mac should be illegal before weed, as I'm sure if there ever was a proper study done comparing the dangers of the two, it would be found more dangerous due to heart disease, stroke, and general obesity related illnesses.
