Our country is based on freedom, but in order to have a country where we can all try t co-exist relatively comfortably, there must be laws. Everything can’t be about personal choice, because we all have different opinions on right and wrong. Laws are necessary otherwise you have total chaos.

I agree 100%. Just imagine, if we didn't have laws and everyone was *free* to do ANYTHING, I mean ANYTHING no matter how wrong/right they are, we would be living in a total *disaster zone*. So you folks are saying to legalize it for the taxes...........for money? Sure our economy is not the best at this time and our country needs money, but I would never support money coming from wrong sources. There are other ways to make money than by legalizing a terrible drug and bringing more harm to our society than is already present. Besides, if you're saying they should look into criminal/murder, etc. cases more than drugs..........you'll find that the majority of criminals or such people are major druggies/alcoholics. Good thing? I think not! Legalizing one bad thing will result in legalizing of more bad things and the result would be disasterous for our nation. Are you up for living in a world where people are free to smoke pot, and do whatever they want........risking their health, getting your kids involved, etc.? I for one am NOT. I'm glad marijuana is illegal and I hope some day, smoking and alcohol will be illegal too.
