I don't smoke pot now, but when I was in high school it was easier to procure a bag of pot than a six pack of beer. I honestly don't think that there are many people in jail for possession of marijuana. Distribution, yes. But, the average pot smoker is not going to jail, police don't waste their time with it. That being said, why should a person selling pot be able to be involved in a trade on a product that 1) could be produced here in the U.S. creating jobs instead of importing yet another product from outside the U.S. 2) not pay taxes on their profits. My thought is, make it legal and regulated. Prohibition doesn't work. Let us create jobs. Let us compete with other countries.and stop putting the pot smoker on the same page as a heroin user. It is not the same drug.
