Whether a scientific case can be made for legalization is unclear (the majority opinion says not, but many reputable people say otherwise).

However legalization would bring in lots of money. Of course this applies to Heroin, Cocaine, etc. The same probably goes for gambling and prostitution. And it will be a lot more popular than fiscal restraints, spending cuts or higher taxes.

Sounds very similar to Massachusetts plan to legalize casinos in order to raise more tax revenue.

These are examples of politicians compromising on moral principles just to raise some more money.

Imagine if an individual would do that.

It should be legalized for medicinal purposes, but it is a shame that only budgetary woes moved people to this point.
