Been saying this for months, but most responses I get go like this: "Shut up you hippie junkie. Legalizing the devil's lettuce is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

Would this solve our problems on its own? Of course not. But it could certainly help even though it's just a federal decriminalization bill.

They won't get near the amount of revenue needed to make a dent in the debt. Marijuana should be legalized because you have a right to do what you want with your body, not because it could be a source of revenue.

Sure it will take care of the deficit problem- if you put $1.5 trillion in taxes a year on it.

Jesus Christ. Lamar Smith's comments in that article are just shocking. The level of ignorance and idiocy blatantly portrayed by some people we send to Washington is staggering.
