I believe marijuana and alcohol should be legal for anyone 18 years or older.

I am aware that marijuana is still illegal, mainly because the government and large pharmacutical companies can't control it.

I do think there is a big distinction between possession for personal use and a dealer who is making a huge profit. I do see it eventually becoming legal across the country, eventually. I expect Kentucky to be one of the last states to do so, since they still have a few dry counties that allow bootleggers to make money without paying taxes.

Prohibition is why organized crime became such a big business in the US in the first place.

And as for everyone up in arms about prostitution, I have never figured out why it is illegal to sell something that you are allowed to give away. Makes no sense to me.
