It's the same argument as alcohol. There will be abuse. Some people's lives will be disrupted. And there will be horror stories. But we already have those issues now without regulation.
Agreed. Except that I do drink alcohol socially.

I would rather see tax revenue come from legalization of pot than have all that money go to druglords. At the very least, they should decriminalize MJ and make room in or prisons for more serious criminals
