Legalize it and solve a ton of problems.

No, creates a lot of problems -- more losers getting high and harming others, more drug trafficking and usage as marijuana is a gateway drug and more crime due to the increased crime. That is precisely what has happened when it was been legalized.

Wrong! It is pharmaco;ogically not a gateway drug. “wow, man, I’m laid back from that doobie—oh, wait a minute, Let’s do some coke to rev up!” You sound like a DEA agent. It’s only gateway in the sense that it is usually in the same place in the black market.

Garbage. Amsterdam had a murder rate of about 3.6/100,000 in 2007.¹ San Jose, one of the safest cities in the US with a population over 500,000, had a murder rate of 3.5 in 2007². Overall, the murder rate in the US is nearly 4X the Dutch rate.³
