Should the U.S. Legalize Marijuana?

The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

    You don't have to 'experiment with legalization'

    We already know what it was like when it was legal, before 1937. The country got along just fine, thank you very much. Cannabis was used in children's cough syrup and sleeping drafts, and no one died. They just stopped coughing and slept really well.
