    Jun 2 2012: It should definitely be legal, theres no real reason why marijuana shouldn't be legal. It is proven to not only have effective medical use with helping cancer patients, but better than (as stated) than cigarettes and alcohol. Legalizing pot would take a big weight of the jail systems globally and generate potentially billions for the global economy. Also by legalizing pot and having sales taxed and government regulated you take away money from gangs and organizations that get tons of money from dealing pot illegally. It also removes the big risk of having pot boughten from drug dealers being laced with other highly addictive and more harmful drugs. There is no good reason to continue the prohibition of marijuana and it would be a great idea to legalize it globally!
