May 21, 2009) unintentionally made a credible argument for legalizing and regulating illegal substances; to make them safer. Millions of North Americans buy cannabis (marijuana), the most used illegal substance in existence. As a matter of supply and demand and the fact that the relatively safe, God-given plant cannabis is here to stay, it should be immediately re-legalized and regulated. Millions of citizens are using the plant, the money is changing hands either way. Presently, taxes and safety are lost, crime is growing and prohibitionists are happy, but all that can change with intelligent credible drug law reform.
