Legalize it, tax it, regulate it just like alcohol and tobacco. Long overdue in this country.

If we can't keep pot out of federal prisons (and we can't) we certainly can't keep it off the street. Enact no law in this country that is functionally unenforceable. The prohibition on drugs only created a crime wave that enriched drug cartels and corrupted a lot of good cops, banks and politicians in exactly the same way it happened during alcohol prohibition during the 20s and 30s. We might have learned from that experience but we are a bit slow on the uptake it seems. Lets free the cops to go chase real bad guys who commit murder, rape, assault, and other violent crimes and end our dysfunctional nanny state. Some people will always choose to do drugs and it really is their choice to make. It's the definition of freedom and liberty.
