I'm definitely with ART on this one...
Anything that distorts your senses can potentially be hazardous. Just because alcohol and cigarettes are legal does not justify the legalization of marijuana.
People seem to think that if marijuana was legal, then everyone would be happy, the pot would be cheaper, and there would be less of a problem with it than there is now. I don't think that would be the case. If it was legal, then I suspect more people would try it. It might be cheaper, but that again would lead more people to smoke it. I've had to work with some people who were stoned in class, and it isn't fun. I don't see how any good can come of legalizing marijuana, except maybe making it safer for those using it. Not worth it in my opinion.
