Question by Chi Guy: Would legalizing marijuana be good for the economy and society?
I included society due to an arrest record for having marijuana often prevent people from obtaining meaningful work for the rest of their lives.

Also, if private industry still wishes not to retain people who have mj in their system, wouldn’t this become a private-sector issue only vs a government issue (less government)?

What are your thoughts?
Also, would it not free up our police departments to focus on more serious crimes?

Keith S (below) I prefer logic over fear when it comes to making decisions.

I believe you should just stop smoking pot instead of trying to rationalize why it should be accepted.

EDIT
Then why would you try to sympathize with people who break the law? Are all your friends potheads or something?
