Decriminalize Marijuana in the U.S.

Nuff' said. We already distribute it medically to qualified patients that I don't see any need for the government to arrest 700,000 Americans every year just for the possession of it. The laws are unnecessarily cruel. If the objective of marijuana prohibition laws is to actually prevent marijuana use rather than driving it underground, then the policy is, despite its astronomical cost, an utter failure from a pure law enforcement point of view. I guarantee Obama wants this to happen, but doesn't want to look bad or set a bad example for all his voters. It's a harmless drug, and who knows, it could become very profitable. Taxing marijuana can produce considerable revenue.
