Legalizing marijuana isn't perfect, but I don't think anyone expects a perfect result by legalizing it. Sure, somebody somewhere is going to have an accident by driving stoned, but it can't be any more dangerous than all the people who text and drive. I'm much more afraid of texters than stoners.

But there are so many positives that can come from legalization. Patients who may receive tremendous relief from pain will be able to easily buy some. The prisons are filled with thousands of young men who were convicted and received multiyear sentences for possession, and whose lives were ruined, and that will thankfully come to an end. And there are huge criminal cartels who supply pot to Americans that will soon be rendered useless if they can start growing their own.

Legalization may not be perfect, but the positives so outweigh the negatives that it seems pointless for it to remain illegal. And as John Lennon once sang: "smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot." I always wondered what he meant by that.
