I really haven't heard any of you come forth with any solid reasons outside of; alcohol or video games are legal, why not pot? Sorry but that's not good enough to sway me in favour.

Now granted, this is for America, but still...
A 2008 study has estimated that legalizing drugs would save taxpayers $76.8 billion a year in the United States — $44.1 billion from law enforcement savings, and at least $32.7 billion in tax revenue ($6.7 billion from marijuana $22.5 billion from cocaine and heroin, remainder from other drugs)
So to make it real simple, don't you want lower taxes?
