I just found out that Uruguay is moving to legalize marijuana and I say good for them. Quite frankly I think that this debate is borderline ridiculous and it should cease once and for all. Weed does not kill people. People say weed serves as a gateway drug but honestly I don't see it. When a person wants to do coke or something far worse, it means they are seriously far into experimentation and self destructive behaviors. Their are many celebrities and luminaries that have used, and currently use weed and they are far from underproductive.
I am not saying weed is for everyone but honestly it's a lot like caffeine, not everyone likes it but many use it. Weed can bolster the economy, farmers can get a new crop, while pharmacies will have something new to sell. I think taxation on weed would lead to a boost in the economy and building a manner of trade would help world economy. If weed were legal it would be a key to make sure that it's properly policed. Establishing proper limits and confining it, the same way as with alcohol, would not make it as dangerous.
Honestly we are living in a different time and we need to embrace certain changes. If someone doesn't want to smoke they don't have to and if someone does, let them. Medicinal marijuana is already legal in some states, so why not? I don't hear about medicinal cocaine, or crack or anything like that. The more you say no to something, the more troublesome and difficult it becomes to contain it. Some drugs should be done away with for sure but I would not rush to put weed in that particular group.
Just mobilize to legalize and be done with it, it's not that big of a deal.
