In short, I think marijuana provides way too much benefit to prohibit it legally. Materials, fuels, medicines, ending an expensive prohibition, and job creation are all benefits that deserve to be recognized. That humanity has been using marijuana for thousands of years is a pretty definate indication that we will survive it's legalization as a society. We may not survive the collapse of our monetary system as a society. The monetary system's collapse may be part of the reason why people are eating so many more anti-depressants and opiates, additionally maybe this is being compounded into something greater by the prohibition on one of the world's oldest and most used drugs. Personally I'd rather take a risk with marijuana than antidepressants or opiates (or alcohol) if I needed emotional or physical pain relief, sound reasonable to anyone else? Hell the Jesuits and professors at St. Louis University will tell you the same thing, same for a large number of other educational institutions and autodidacts.
