The only thing I disagree with- ”Legalizing pot sends a message that it’s fine to use it.”

Pot is expensive and prevalent because of the MONEY It generates. If there were not big bucks in it, there would be no problem. ALWAYS follow the money.

I USED TO smoke it and I do not now, but I might occasionally partake if it was legal- because it does have some good medicinal affects.

It is far less problematic than Alcohol.

The cost of making it illegal is far more than the damage it causes, and too much of our court system is tied up with this RELATIVELY harmless substance. (far less harmful than alcohol, once again)

It used to be legal, and you never hear about those days. When the government made it illegal is actually when all the major problems started.

IT CAN BE HARMFUL if you use it all day, every day- but the same is true for alcohol. I know the difference - I did at one time OVER-USE it. (all day every day) so i can explain the bad effects from personal knowledge and the benefits of quitting.

Agreed. Not to mention that by O'Reilly's logic we should ban tobacco and alcohol so as not to "send a message that it’s fine to use it."

Legalizing pot is all about money. Big Sis wants to get the tax revenue on the sale of pot.
