agreed. i would legalize weed, package it up and tax it like cigarettes.
less harmful than alcohol, remove thousands imprisoned, off the public dole, and reduce crime.
somebody, somewhere declared a war on drugs, and we lost.

The DEA agents would just go to work for the ATF busting down doors for those who were evading taxes on growing/selling their own "natural" weed rather than the industrialized/regulated major corporation toke.
Decriminalize possession but prohibit its sale and trafficking. Keep the commercial trade out of it. It would be marginalized. Those who want it would procure it. Can't smoke tobacco in public. Employers can prohibit employees from smoking tobacco even in the off hours. Legal or illegal, there wouldn't be public (and restricted private) usage.
