Alcohal is alot like marijuana. If you abuse it, it's bad. And if you do it too young, it's bad. Marijuana with age restrictions would be like alcohal. It would do alot, provide jobs (growing, and enforcing laws) and also cut back on the missions to places like Columbia where they spend millions of dollars destroying drugs. Also, crime wouldn't be as rampent, since 70% of people in federal prison are non-violent drug offenders. Also, 40% of people in state prisons are drug law offenders as well. It would really vut back on spending. That, and there's no proof of any physical addiction, and can actually help people with disease.
