Legalize it already.  Right now you can buy unregulated marijuana anywhere.  Is it better to turn a blind eye to it?  Better to make the current laws stricter with stiffer penalties?  Legalize it and regulate it.  Depending on who you talk to, they will provide proof that weed is dangerous or not.  I only know what I know from personal experience.  Addicting?  Baloney.  Gateway to harder drugs?  pfff.  Try alcohol  and nicotine for that one.  Oh, by the way, both those drugs are legal and addictive.  Let adults make their own choices.
