Absolutely. Not just decriminalized, but legalized. I don't smoke it, and frankly I don't care for pot heads. I also don't care for people who wear white slingbacks after Labor Day, but that's beside the point.

With the possible exceptions of lung cancer and DUI (well, and being whacked on the head by a large bail), marijuana doesn't kill. It doesn't make people violent. It doesn't increase crime; its effects on the unborn are debatable.

We KNOW that cigarettes and alchohol kill. Neither has any recognized benefit. Yet, both are legal and socially acceptable. Marijuana has many known and recognized benefits. Yet it is still illegal.

These days there is only one reason (that I can fathom) marijuana isn't legal - there's no one entitiy that stands to benefit from it. NORML is a great organization and I applaud their work, but they're not (as far as I know) driven by profit. With that said, I can't fathom how the US gov has failed to recognize the enormous profits that could be had by legalizing and taxing weed.
