heres some pros and cons of legalization
pro: 1.tax $$ fer government, cannabis would prolly be taxed like alcohol as the legalizin of alcohol in canada after "prohibition"(after bootlegging prbs wit alcohol, it was illegalized in canada fer a while) the same thing is happening with weed, the gvt doesnt like the organzied crime aspect obviously. 2. selling and taxing weed would also hopefully eliminate sum ov the org. crime as dealers would be put out of business(of course i do not think this would happen) also this would eliminate gettin a record for simply possessing a joint as the courts were full of innocent ppl who just want to get high. 3. "Safer" weed as govt would have more control over potency levels etc. also u woodnt have to worry bout it bein laced wit another drug.4 medicinal use is made easier.

cons: 1. more pot would be smoked if legalized and this is, in part, the problem which they want to eliminate in the first place.
