IMHO, the WOD has been an expensive failure. The solution would be to allow the states to experiment with varying degrees of legalization and criminalization. Let's give it a couple of decades and see what approach works out best. If Alabama wants to ban pot, fine. If California wants to legalize it, fine.

Hey, that's exactly the way we handle alcohol -- each state decides. I propose that we vote on an amendment which contains similar wording to that of the 21st amendment (which gave the alcohol legalization power back to the states). Agree?

I mean, if we don't, we could end up with California being the only state to legalize pot which may cause problems in the surrounding states -- it's only fair to give those states a say-so in the legalization process.

But are you saying that the legalization decision for all drugs, including prescription drugs, be turned over to the states or just marijuana?
