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.

    Debate for what

    Over 70% want it legal, we are throwing away 100 billion a year spent on this stupid war we are putting non violent good people in jail (read http://www.november.org /) not to mention the estimated billions we could make from taxes if it were legal. The only debate is if your representative thinks a continuation of the status quo is the the right thing to do then vote that person out of office!!
