Mary? Is that you?

Recently I've been a part of a couple of conversations regarding legalizing marijuana. They've been interesting, and I can't say for sure I'm set on legalizing marijuana, but I'm close. A recent boost towards this view? The Colbert Report had this guy on the show and it led me to this website. And I've only had it once (quite a bit ago) and don't plan on becoming a drug user. It's more about the amount of effort that goes to enforcing the laws per that outcome of effectiveness. In other words, a guy molests a child; another guy could be caught with enough marijuana to elicit the same sentence. Yikes. The way things are currently, the money spent on the drug funds terrorism. If it were legal, it would be taxed, making the government money. These are some of the reasons to consider.
