Marijuana. Should it be legalized or prosecuted?So after doing a lot of reading I ran across a rather tumultuous relationship. The relationship between Cannibus and the American People. A good percentage of people are ready for change and acceptance. Example Washington and Colorado passed laws...

Are you in favor of or against the legalization of marijuana?As a citizen of Washington State, one of two states with legal marijuana, I'm curious where everyone else is on this issue. In my humble opinion, I think it's time to stop needlessly locking up non violent "criminals" and end...
