I’m leaning towards Trump’s solution. Legalize it, tax it and use the funds to educate people. You could empty the jails of all the pot related convictions.

We still will have a war on drugs because you have to draw the line some where.

All well and good, but what will you do with all of the chronically unemployed who won't pass the drug tests. I assume employers will still have the right to fire or not hire users.

Better to use it for bridges and roads than waste it on the current education establishment. That is the source (especially higher education) of so many of the problems this nation has now.

More time finishing concrete or doing ironwork or working with a shovel will help people gain perspective, and then if they want to pursue a higher education, they can fund it themselves.

What education about pot will deter anyone? You can tell them that it’ll make them a lazy pizza delivery boy the rest of their lives and they’ll still use.

That’s about the fact of it. The only solution is Singapore’s IMO. We have enough lazy pizza slingers.
