I'd say it definitely should be legalized, the advantages are just incredible. The war on drugs has been a failure since day one, people will always find ways to smuggle cocaine, meth heroin etc into our country's. Imagine how much money all these criminals would lose if weed was legal! Not to mention the money our governments could save and make! Creating more jobs and boosting the economy! If we want our kids to stay away from drugs or alcohol or tobacco it's up to us to educate them and trust them to make they're own decisions. Don't know about you guys but if my kids came home one day and said they enjoy having a smoke I'd be a little disappointed of course but at the same time I'd be a little relieved, I'd rather they were just chilling at a friend's house having a smoke playing Xbox or PlayStation rather than snorting coke in some nightclubs toilet or shooting up in some alleyway somewhere.
