April 20th (4/20) is the sort of an international holiday for fans of marijuana and those that support the legalization of it. Myself, I'm all for legalizing it, but not necessarily because I want to use it. In general I'm only a fan of ingesting things I can find a liquor store!

When you look back at how much money has been spent over the past decades to 'bring down' drugs in my country to never make a dent in 'end user' consumption it's a sin. Focus instead on getting the people who use hard drugs like heroin to stop using. Once the demand is gone, so is the supply.

Take the money dumped into the 'war on drugs' and put it into the education system. Make pot a legal and regulated substance like tobacco or alcohol. And, being the good old U S of A – tax the hell out of it.
