I saw this article on TechCrunch about a startup that is offering yelp like services for locating legal marijuana shops. This is a topic I have thought about a lot. Why is marijuana illegal but alcohol is legal? Marijuana isn’t addictive, Alcohol is. Drunk driving causes how many fatalities each year in this country, how many families ruined? I could go on an on about this. I drink occasionally. Alcohol shouldn’t be illegal and neither should Marijuana. You will hear, “it’s a gateway drug” to that I say, how many of you have had a joint or 2 in your life? Have then stepped through the gateway to other drugs? I get mad just thinking about this. I won’t do pot since it’s illegal, but it’s the height of hypocrisy for Marijuana to be illegal but Alcohol is not.
I do have to give the new administration some credit. They have said they aren’t going to be going after the medicinal clinics in the states that have legalized Marijuana for medical purposes. They have also said they are going to move some of the resources dedicated to Marijuana enforcement to other areas.
I personally am leaning towards the legalization of marijuana/cannabis. A huge debate over whether the we should legalize pot is raging in states all over the world. Many people think pot should be legalized. There are many pros for legalizing pot, and many cons against legal pot as well. An interesting site I have found on this subject is http://LegalPot.com
