and lobbyists from the beer companies and companies like Dupont and 3M.
I think it should be legalized only because the problems prohibition creates. I think one of the biggest problems of prohibition is the misinformation campaign. If we had honest messages about pot. messages that talk about the consequences like lack of motivation/desire, an increase in procrastination, depression etc. Instead we have commercials showing girls getting pregnant and kids shooting eachother with guns. Then some kid smokes pot and realizes he didn't go crazy nor did he get pregnant so he stops listening to any anti-drug message. I also don't think there will be more pot-heads in the world if its leaglized, just less criminals.
