What would be the next crime that is being committed that we push to make legal because of the difficulty of enforcing ? A MIND ALTERING DRUG made legal it seems because we just give up and hey....does not matter the ramifications...we sure will fee good.
Bucco, we already have a legal drug that alters the mind and the mood. It's called alcohol. It was legalized because Prohibition didn't work.

The use of marijuana is prevalent and it isn't going to go away. The point I'm trying to make is that if marijuana were legalized, there would hopefully be more restrictions. It shouldn't be sold on street corners and in school yards to children. IMHO, our focus should be on eliminating the drug cartels and ensuring it is sold only to adults.
