An Unpopular Position...Or Is It?

As a now Recovering alcoholic/drug addict I never once drank alcohol socially plus from day 1 of smoking pot I couldn't get enough which led to harder, stronger drugs like heroin and cocaine. Believe me, it was never really fun when compared to now being in Recovery from those chemicals. Here comes the probably "unpopular" part. As I remember being loaded for nearly 15 years continuously I can recall some individuals who I partied with that would nurse one beer all night and would smoke pot probably once in every six months. My point? I believe, just like a social drinker that there is such a critter as a social pot smoker. America has already proven that outlawing alcohol didn't work with prohibition. Now, how well are we doing in outlawing pot? How many nonviolent pot smokers do we have to pay, what $100/day to keep in prison?
Why not leagalize marijuana? Have our Government grow it, sell it, control it, tax the hell out of it which will prevent the drug dealer as we now know it?
Just a thought! I will say that even if legalized I do not plan on smoking pot again just like I do not plan on drinking alcohol again, God willing! And I do mean God's Will which is how I stay clean and sober one day at a time!
