DENVER LEGALIZES MARIJUANA 53% - 46%!

What's this? Typhoid putting his foot into his mouth? Who'da think it!

Anyway, on the topic at hand, I will say first of all that I've never smoked anything, least of all an illegal substance. However, I know from experience that there's really nothing law enforcement can do about pot usage. Here in Wilmington, hundreds of drug possession cases are brought in and sentenced every month and as far as anybody can tell, it hasn't even made a dent in drug usage. The only thing illegalizing the drug has done is to drive the whole business underground so that only criminals would deal with the stuff. Seems kind of a fruitless endeavor for a drug that's been proven to be less harmful than tobacco.

Really, the government might as well just do the same thing they do with cigarettes: make them legal and pull in some hefty taxes on them.
