Obviously, yeah. Prohibition doesn't work. The only reason the United States has made marijuana, a natural plant that's cause zero deaths, is because the government is making a ton of money on this "war on drugs". Legalization has no adverse effects on society, and prison rates would drop dramatically because there would be no people wrongfully imprisoned for marijuana possession. We're currently spending more on our prison systems than our school systems. THAT is a problem.
