Wait, do you imagine that legalizing it will affect the numbers of people using it? You can't possibly believe that the law prevents anyone who want to use it from using it, do you? We are stuck with it irrespective of the law the real question is do you want to incur the long term costs of medical care which you will bear anyway in addition to the legal costs which produce no benefit? Seems obvious to me. The stupid, inept WOD does nothing except provide a huge sinkhole for tax dollars in a failed and laughingly miserable attempt to keep idiots from being idiotic.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nah, muir_redwoods, golly gee, the number of people using it may actually go down with legalization! You're a funny guy.
"You can't possibly believe that the law prevents anyone who want to use it from using it, do you?"
With legalization though, more people may want to. Do you also think nothing would change if we lowered the age of consent to 16? Legalized gambling? Prostitution? Child porn?

Oh, and how will legalizing marijuana change that? Seriously.
You're saying we will end the WOD, dismantle the DEA, the ONDCP, and release all drug prisoners when we legalize marijuana?
Well, if so, make sure that's clearly spelled out in the legislation.
