With regard to the question “should marijuana be legalized,” we conclude the answer is “yes.” This conclusion is made based on the economics of the issue. The existing system involves significant expense to local government with no appreciable result. Marijuana remains readily available virtually anywhere in the nation, decades of the war on drugs notwithstanding. That a demand for this product exists is undeniable.

To continue to do the same thing and expect a different result is one classic ...
