I don't know if this was ever mentioned, but another reason to legalize it (which is actually decriminalizing it, I don't think it can be completely legalized...you can still get a ticket in the Netherlands, I believe), is that it eliminates that connection to drug dealers. Now kids can buy pot from drug dealers and then say....so what else do you got? Buying hard drugs from a guy you don't know much about pushes people away.
I myself don't smoke pot but I use to like other drugs.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
