Honestly...weed should NOT be illegal, it should be a controlled substance just like Tobacco or Alchy. Seriously, the pro's of weed outweighs the cons. Only reason is illegal is because of big time companies, and christian politicians.
So many Mary J dealers are out there today (especially kids like this guy) because it's such an easy profitable buisness. It potentially pays the same as a full time fast food job, and requires 1/4 the strength. I know because I dealt with friends who sold weed here and there.
The drug it self is harmless essentially, but obtaining it and getting rid of it for money is potentially more dangerous then a cage match with Charles Bronson if you don't know the right people.
Make it legal, tax the holy hell out of it. Have it sold at convenience stores/specialty dispensers (like they have in Cali) and make it illegal to sell/grow in large quantities.
This issue should have at least been resolved by the late 70's, this is 2012, almost 2013, you'd think we would have resolved this. Even half of Europe is even Decriminalizing it.
