Good clearing-house of scholarly information on marijuana legalization. Tons of links at the original source.

If Democrat Phil Murphy gets elected in New Jersey on Tuesday, he has pledged to support recreational marijuana legalization.

[RKBA Democrat]

Might as well argue the merits of alcohol legalization.That horse left the barn a few years ago.

The same government that conditions tobacco is counting on cannibas for new revenues.

And citizens that are easier to control.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I call for legalization for the same reason we ended Prohibition; because it was an abject failure that resulted mainly in increasing the power of the government.

Aw yiss, more proof that more and more government is good for me.

Thank GOD for GOVERNMENT because LORD KNOWS I just can't deal with these things myself.

Legalizing MJ is probably a good idea in that it will be exposed for the poison it is.

Colorado is in for BIG trouble.

Better that MJ be exposed to the white light.

It is addictive and wastes good minds.

This thread is very revealing—about the posters.

There is money to be madne by the state.
Ergo, pot will be legalized.

No matter how terrible weed is, it pales to insignificance when compared to the evils of the “war on drugs” and the cost it has levied on our constitutional rights.

We can start with asset forfeiture....whether you are guilty or not, you property and your money can be seized for the slightest of reasons....and you must bear the legal cost of getting it back.

Then there are no knock raids at the wrong address. The increased cost of drugs which makes selling them profitable and increases the money pool available to corrupt government officials.

The war on drugs is the greatest evil ever foisted on the American people.

Criminalizing it is worse!

"But the absolute worst argument in favor of legalization is that cannabis is harmless or somehow beneficial to users."

Just like cigarettes are good for you (/sarc). Lotsa money in cigarettes from beginning to end.

Legalizing Marijuana is a Terrible Idea

Having Tyrannical Law is an even worse idea.

People don't even know what Freedom is...

[familyop]

Police and courts should start doing their jobs to arrest and disarm the dope fiends instead of lobbying to disarm everyone else. It’s the law.

[morphing libertarian]

freedom

[umgud]

It’s all about the money, nothing else.

[TheStickman]

I disagree with the author. Cannabis should be legal to have, use & produce at the discretion of the individual states & their citizens.

Anybody inclined to legalize, are you inclined to have stores selling as well? What if this store is in your town? What if this store is next to your "high" school?

Mind you, first, that these stores will, almost by rule, operate solely on a cash basis. That is because, whatever individual states do, it remains a federal offense, and thus no bank will make any arrangements with any recreational marijuana business, and will not facilitate credit cards.

And, most important, where would you, if you wanted to open a store to sell marijuana, place one? If that was me, which it is not, and my only goal was to create a sucessfull and viable store, I'd go for the local high school vicinity.

To that end, here are some of the products that would be highlighted at the store - on the counter, on the shelves, perhaps in the window:
