Should Weed Be Legal?

I don't see anything wrong with it and I think it should be legalized. Of course, with the legalization of cannabis there would be a little price and tax change to deal with as well as a regulation on the amount one can purchase and consume so maybe this wouldn't be the smartest or best thing for the average pothead.

I really disagree with the legalization of weed, our country would lose lots of income.
Anyway, I wanted to say I completely agree with the following:

There are of course the cases in which people buy weed from corrupt dealers and the weed is laced with other drugs in order to get the user addicted and coming back. This isn't common, but it happens and in that case the effects are obviously not going to be that of typical marijuana. This is another reason weed needs to legalized; to take it out of the hands of these dealers and put it into the hands of government regulated shops so this kind of thing can't happen.

I think it helped our country a lot that they legalized weed, because if it would be illegal, people would probably try it just to see what happens and possible get addicted to the 'fake weed' you're talking about.

In the United States people supporting legalization is seeking new pathways according the news,

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Come next year, Oregon voters could be deciding whether to legalize marijuana or limit the ability of public-employee unions to collect political contributions.

Those are just two of the nearly two-dozen ideas proposed so far for the 2012 ballot. Citizen groups are collecting the signatures necessary — up to 116,000 of them, in some cases — to bring the ideas before Oregon voters.
