Marijuana sales commence in Colorado for recreational use

[flirt5721]

The laws on weed are way too harsh. A murderer gets less time. The drug is less dangerous than most perscription drugs out there. I have see the benefits of medical weed and recreational use. To me the war on weed is the same as Prohabition was on alcohol. Pointness and expensive. I have personally had family killed in the Mexican drug war in the past 5 years and have actually seen the harm that laws on drugs have on this country. Many people that are not near the Mexico boarder don't realize how bad things are because of the laws that are supposed to protect this country, they just make them worse.

Legalizing weed and taxing it would help save money to all tax payers and offer a different way to raise money. People have a very bad view on weed because they don't understand it. The federal classification on it is completely wrong and has no scientific backing as to why ts classified the same as coke or crack other than the government wants to try to get rid of it.
