Legalizing Marijuana

Posted by Mr. Bruns on January 9, 2013 at 10:33am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

First, serious comments only.

Legalizing marijuana has really been a hot topic the last couple of years, especially since voters in Colorado and Washington State just made recreational use legal back in November.

Here are two opinion pieces that CNN did, one for and one against the legalization of marijuana.

What are your thoughts on this controversial topic?

"Prohibitionists might mention that THC [delta-9 tetra-hydrocannabinol, the smile-producing chemical in pot] often appears in the blood of people in auto accidents.

Yet they might not mention that the tests were so easy that even a demented person could perform them."
