Pot Legalization

Is an unmitigated disaster.  None of the arguments in favor of pot legalization were ever compelling to me. Here's my simple retort:

1) I've never seen any person improved by the use of marijuana.

2) It's so obviously worse than drinking booze despite all efforts at pot users to claim otherwise

3) Legalization will (and has) lead to increased use for all ages (including teens)

Nevermind all the additional downsides - it's a gateway drug, it's anti-social, it can possibly increase odds of schizophrenia -

The only reason to legalize it is that people will use it anyway. By that logic, we should outlaw speed limits but no one thinks that would be wise.
