   Smoking anything is a bad thing. This is not a moral issue .   
      
   Marijuana prohibition has caused more problems than solutions.   
      
   It's time for this "War on Drugs" to end.   
      
      
   Legalize it   
   Regulate it   
   Tax it.   
      
   Same as we do with alcohol.   
      
   Release all non-violent minor marijuana offenders from prison.
