"If the United States Government banned education and learning in every way, history tells us that in 3 years, Americans will be the smartest people on Earth".
Over 80% of Americans believe that this 'prohibition'-like ban on Cannabis should end. Not only can federal and state governments tax the product, but can also regulate it to ensure it meets certain standards.
In numerous fields of research, Cannabis affects on the human body are being studied. When used in tests involving cocaine, heroin, cigarettes, and alcohol, Cannabis rated the least addictive, least damaging on the nervous, respiratory, and immune system. Most over-the-counter pain & sleep medication has worse side-effects.
In summary, legalization of Cannabis is a win-win-win situation.
