Most start on tobacco and alcohol then move on to pot. Some then progress to other drugs, some don't. Tobacco and alcohol are highly addictive yet both are legal. Both cost billions of dollars in health care and disability claims.

If they legalize marijuana I believe we're going to see a big increase in crime and other drug abuse too.

No, the reasoning is that we stop trying to imprison people for minor amounts, that leaves the system better able to go for the major players ( who will not like the goverment taxing their crop. That is how they nailed Capone - tax evasion. Stop worring about the minnows and go for the big fish.
[quote]I also believe its going to lead to family problems too because people will spend money they should support their families with on marijuana. I know drug users do that now but I believe it will get a lot worse if they legalize it. [quote]
I know plenty of people that can't "afford to take care of their kids but always seem to have $$ for beer and cigerettes.

I don't want to be around people that want to do is drugs all the time. You never know what they will do when they're high.

I honestly would rather deal with someone on pot ( they tend to be rather mellow ) then someone who is drunk. We won't even deal with the issue of DWI's.
