This is a very difficult issue for me. On one hand I think the affects of the current criminal code on marijuana are ridiculous. There's also no question that it would have a positive economic effect, although I don't consider giving more money to government as a positive thing. However, on the other hand, there are consequences that would take effect if use became widespread. In Colorado there have been a measurable increase in traffic accidents, hospital visits, etc. due to the use of pot. Then there's the psychological issues, especially for children. There is little doubt in my mind that people while on pot are not of sound mind. A generation of pot-heads is not a positive situation.
