I am all for legalization. But like any well-informed person, I like to know the arguments on both sides.

What do you all think about the possible decline in general productivity in the American workforce? While I'd like to think that our yearn for money would motivate us to continue being productive in jobs, I can't help but wonder if a lot of our workforce productivity WOULD decline because of irresponsible marijuana use. There are many people who have drastically changed their lives to accommodate their marijuana use, including working fewer hours and even putting their family through financial hardship because of it. I see these "addiction" symptoms frequently at work.

Thoughts?
