Making medical marijuana legal is a first step in a long road. Problems effect good citizens everyday as a result of marijuana prohibition. With all of the lives that are being destroyed and money spent can the government honestly point to the drug war as a success? This country should stop dumping huge amounts of resources on trying to bust kids with glass pipes and should start focusing on investing in its greatest asset….its people.
