There are way to many arguments for it not to be. With all the facts on the table, such as prison space being increased, street prices lowering and therefore lowering crime, marijuana being healthier than cigarettes, taxing opportunities, I don't see a real reason why it should not be legal. Don't even think about saying "Do you want people out on the streets high?" I deal with people out on the streets drunk all the time. Obviously, there would be limitations, similar to DUI's and Drunk in public offenses.

I think a lot of it comes from drug companies and their pressure in washington via the right. Do you think there's any merit to that, or can you think of another reason?
