There is strong evidence to suggest that legalizing marijuana would serve little purpose other than to worsen the state’s drug problems— addiction, violence, disorder, and death

First, I think you mean RE-legalize.

Second, why haven't all those horrible things happened in countries where marijuana is legal or decriminalized?

Heck, in Ohio you can have up to 100 grams personal possession and all you get is a minor misdemeanor (like a jaywalking ticket).

Somehow, Ohio has not cracked to the point of falling into Lake Erie, though.

Colorado has a pot law. So far, other than the pot shops themselves, no appearant increase in crime or wacked out people acting all weird.
