Do YOU support legalization?

89. I can't speak for every supporter

but there is valid scientific claims that show it is not as bad as opponents make it out to be and it would be interesting to have a discussion to show who is right. As to medicine, you don't have to smoke it but even then, there are plenty of FDA approved drugs that are addictive and have much more harmful side effects.

As far as economic, it is obvious. There are sale tax benefits that the government could be collecting, businesses would start up and pay taxes on their earnings. They would hire employees which also pay taxes but more importantly they would have a paycheck which they would use on purchases at local grocery stores, rent/buy housing, etc. which helps those businesses and employees. IOW, the multiplier effect. I don't see how saying this is a false economic claim.

I think the far bigger cost to society is using resources, enforcement, and time to stop something that isn't a big deal and they can't stop the availability anyways. Especially when more harmful substances such as alcohol & tobacco are perfectly legal.
