There is also an editorial on this written by the editorial board. The comments are interesting. Seems that the Alligator may be heavily anti-Greek and they are being called on it.
At the same time, there is an article titled

Legalizing weed would lead to wealth

from October 30.
Quote:
Marijuana will be decriminalized before 2015. When that day arrives, be prepared for exactly nothing horrible to happen. Your children won't be murdered at gunpoint. Your liquor store won't be robbed. There will, however, be some bitchin' parties.
Pizza sales will be up more than 400 percent. Solo Cup Co. will halt production of cups and increase its share in the napkin market.
How much else of our social landscape would change? If you're not a member of the "young disillusioners club," you know that people aren't going to smoke any more than they do now. Those who want to smoke five times a day already do, and those who wish to abstain would do so gracefully regardless of legality.
Pot wouldn't be smoked on the streets because there would be "open-joint laws." Weed wouldn't be puffed by latchkey kids any more than today because 15-year-olds are the ones who already get the best bud. And people won't go to work stoned because they would be fired just like the alcoholic down the street.
It will take a few years before the naysayers fully realize what marijuana can do for the country. While there won't be overnight changes, America will eventually benefit from the commercialization of pot.

What a crazy paper!
