One thing which I am close to and I take into consideration when considering this is the military. The military is the most regulated and disciplined sector of our society, yet, we cannot control not just the disease of addiction, but, the progression to more potent substances as the person digs in deeper and deeper.
It often begins with the casual beverage, smoke and toke of pot or hash, onto more numbing and more potent escape substances. What makes anyone believe that we can fair any better with marijuana being part of main stream society?
Possible? Yes! Probable? No! ........ I think we dig ourselves in deeper.
As we hope for our adult society to be able to choose for themselves and to be responsible when entertaining themselves or medicating themselves, the odds as history shows us, are stacked heavily against us.

People who have the personlity to go out searching for a bigger high all the time dont need pot to start on. Alchohol or any other legal mind altering substance will do. We need to legalize pot. Get it over with.
Now I am not a user but how much money do we need to spend on enforcement of pot laws. The war on pot is lost. Take the market out of the hands of people who kill and destroy.
The government can protect us from itself and protect us from each other but it can not protect us from ourselves.
