Here is my theory:

Ok
1. If weed is legalized, then you immediataly put into control of the gov't
2. By having it gv't controlled you eliminate a huge % of our prison pop.
3. This would save the gov't money which in turn would save us money
4. The weed production would then either be cntrolled by the gov't or companies that would be watched by the gov't
5. The everyday person is not going to waste their time trying to grow their own stuff, when you will be able to buy top of the line stuff in stores
6. As the gov't has done w/ the alcohol and tobbacco industries they can tax the hell outa weed and make good money
7. By legalizin pot, you elimante a huge portion of the youth violence rates on our streets
8. Cops would be able to work on catchin REAL criminals instead of the harmless mary j growing facilities
9. Since smokin pot for a lot of kids is just a rebelious thing, you might even see a decline in use by minors (i kno this is stretchin it a bit)
10. The gov't wuld be able to monitor all weed activity and control the content etc. eliminating people who sell laced stuff to unsuspecting people
11. you wont have to worry about gettin ripped off nemore
12. the gov't culd also make good money off of the sale of smoking paraphanalia (sp)
13. the medcal prperties culd finally be cmpletly understood

as far as i can c it would be a win win situation for the gov't and the ppl of america, but then agian im just a 16 yr old w/ my opinions
