Legalizing Marijuana

It's high time we legalized pot. Seems like a great many people now agree that pot should be legal, and there are a great many more who would agree if they received accurate information on pot.

Now, with conservatives being more and more discredited daily, the backlash is beginning to swing in the other direction. The time is not yet now to legalize, but the time is now to begin a campaign for legalization.

The problem is, from a politician's viewpoint, there is little to gain. Legalization is not a single-issue stance for those who are for it, but it is for those who are against it. What I mean is, people who are against legalization would vote against anyone who was for it, no matter what else they say. But people who are for it might vote against someone who was for it, if they didn't like the rest of the politician's message.

So pot legalization has to be tied to something else, and what's more there have to be some kind of rules and regulations to go along with it. I'll get back to you when I have the rest of that figured out.
