I already wrote a couple of posts ago that I'm currently on the fence on this thing. I just think the argument that "it's not the government's business what I put in my body" stinks, whether dealing with cannabis, heroin or sugar.
I have perhaps a bad habit of replying against arguments that I don't think make sense, even if I'm not necessarily against the larger picture they promote. The legalization arguments so far in this thread have often been based on egocentric wants, personal observations, health myths and the idea that the legality of something which is bad for us (like alcohol) should automatically justify the inclusion of something else which is bad for us.
The argument that the war on cannabis costs money is the only intelligent pro-legalization argument I can remember anyone make in this thread at the moment.
