Personally, I have never done drugs, nor do I ever plan on doing drugs. I don't smoke, I don't drink, etc. The closest I get to drugs is my morning cup of caffeinated green tea. I just feel like the American government is wasting our tax money on something that's going to happen, regardless, especially when there are so many more important things out there. Think of all of the money we could save! The cost of imprisoning all of these druggies alone has to be pretty high (no pun intended).

Plus, if drugs are legal, we can regulate and tax them, which means more revenue!
If they can't do much of anything about illegal drugs, and those who sell and use them, it's stupid to think they'll be able to tax said drugs if they're made legal.

What is wrong with people's brains?
