WEAK ARGUMENTS
The arguments used to support the legalization of marijuana are, in my
opinion, weak and lacking in basic wisdom.
Granted, under current conditions, the Hell's Angels and other
criminal groups benefit from the sale of pot to our youth. However, if
it were legalized, what would the gangs sell? They will not be closing
shop and going legal.
Do we really need our government benefiting from, and therefore
promoting, activities that have little or no socially redeeming qualities?
