My state "legalized" marijuana.
Can't carry more than a set amount of marijuana at a time.

Treatment for certain poisonings and it lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow. There are a bunch of others. In moderation, alcohol can in fact be good for you. I know, it's a crazy thought with all the anti drinking propaganda because of people who drink and drive.
A small amount of wine a day yes, other than that alcohol is still bad for you.

I know a guy that smokes pot and he doesn't want it legalized in the US. He reason?
He said that by legalizing pot, it would cause an influx of growers in the community, which would then cause the old, illegal growers to go out of business due to a loss of customers.
What this means in terms of smoking pot is simply this, as he said: Growing good pot is a skill. If everyone can grow it, then those that know how to grow it will sell less and force them to either sell the "good #$%^" for way more, or stop selling all together.
Which makes sense. When a market is small for a product, there tends to be a high level of quality to the product, but as the product increases in popularity, then the overall quality declines due to other manufacturers coming in and making things cheaper and faster.
Of course, if you know the guy that grows the good stuff, then you're okay. You can still get it. However, if the supply chain starts farther away from you, then the legalization could cause that chain to divert away from your area and go somewhere else.
I'm not saying he's right, only that there is a certain logic to it. Either way, I think it should legalized. The good stuff might be harder to find, but the overall benefit, to me, outshines having a weaker strain of pot in the community.

The biggest opposition to the legislation comes from the sellers. While it's illegal, they can sell it for a lot more, and they don't have to worry about corporations edging in on their profit.
Same thing as with Prohibition.

So we shouldnt legalize it because you know some guy that grows it illegally and would be worried about the people who were then allowed to grow it taking his "customers"? Thats more of a tough @#$% kind of thing for him instead of a good reason on why its bad.

My grandfather, who was a judge for 30 years and was very 'old school', always supported legalization.
The main reason was that there is so much unnecessary violence over it, and the money involved in selling and buying and producing it illegally. If it was legalized, then much of this violence would no longer happen.
