I was watching this last night and I can't for the life of me see how anyone can deny that prohibition causes many, many more problems than it would ever attempt to solve. Legalize it and you almost instantaneously eliminate the crime surrounding drugs. Regulate it and tax it and you pretty much solve the financial crisis by not only revenue, but eliminating the unnecessary spending of billions of dollars to lock up stoners. I just don't get the continued hysteria about it.
