I have never smoked before or otherwise consumed marijuana, nor would I likely if it became legal. However, from just a pure economic standpoint the whole argument against keeping it illegal does not make sense. It costs way too much money to enforce the laws. It targets one group of people more than the rest. It harms public health due to getting illegal stuff instead of having it regulated properly. It is not possible to actually eliminate the use of it, much like how prohibition failed.

If you legalize it and tax it properly, that would raise a large amount of funds that can be used for the benefit of society like how Colorado is using all the tax revenues for schools.
