I will not comment upon marijauna being a gateway or not, nor am I going to comment upon how it can hurt. Instead, I want to talk about the legalization of Marijuana and how it would work out. If and when it is legalized the Government would immidatly put research into it along with corperate pharmacuticals to comment with how they would market it, control it and make it. I doubt they would be selling doobies and more likly find a way to put it in pill form. Then they would put laws down as to age limits and tax laws to make money off of it. This is comment pointed towards the medical use of the drug, not the recreational. Kids would stop buying from dealers who cut their weed with differant chemicals and start stealing Grandma's painkillers instead. This is not exactly a great change but at least the drug lords would no longer be getting American Kid's money.
