Opinion time.
As a rather open minded person i hold some points of view that are frowned on.
With all of the recent evidence dispelling most of the supposed negative effects of cannabis.
such as
- It is no longer thought to lower IQ
- There was no link to lung cancer after extensive tests
- It has never directly killed anyone
- It has a 10,000 lethal dosage to active dosage so its near impossible to OD on
With all of this what is your stance on the regulation and taxation of cannabis as a recreational substance and if you still hold negative feelings about it what are they? Why do you hold issue with it against this evidence? Maybe you see a different way like decriminalization? Do you view it as a State or Federal issue?

I think smoking anything is retarded, and I'd never do it, but I don't see any reason why it's illegal other than corporate interests and misinformation. It's significantly better than cigarettes and alcohol, which are legal and easy to get. Plus, having the government tax the sell of marijuana like they do cigarettes will add some nice government revenue to reduce the deficit a little. Legitimate businesses could sell the drug for less than it's available for now, even after a beefy tax. It doesn't make sense to smoke, but it doesn't make sense for it to be illegal either.
