Legalizing Marijuana

[Anbesol]

Hopefully this isn't too taboo a subject here. 13 states have already decriminalized the personal use of Marijuana. Alaska being the most open at 100% legal for personal use and growth. Many states allow its use with Dr's prescription, others simply reduced charges from misdemeanor to petty crimes (you go to traffic court and pay a ticket). Even more conservative states like Nebraska have decriminalized it.

As much as the public outcry has grown over the past decade, it is surprisingly disappointing that federal legistlators and politicians on the federal level have not addressed this more seriously. Perhaps it is simply still too polarizing a topic to be addressed on a federal level, its not a safe subject for a politician to get into, eh...

Wondering opinions on this, sorry to stir the pot. (pun intended)
