Agree on the first point for sure.
As for the second point, I'm not really sure. Definitely not a super important issue, but I think it could be more important than some think. If we can save money on crime and punishment and perhaps even make some through taxes and whatever, it could be a fairly interesting issue.
Shoot even California played around with legalizing pot to help with their deficit. There could be real tangible benefits to legalizing it that could affect more than just those who want to smoke it.
