New York Times Discussion

A New York Times Opinion column called On the Legalization — or Not — of Marijuana by Stephen J. Dubner examines the issue of legalization starting out with an interesting thought exercise and then posts some great examples of opinions pro and con on the issue of marijuana. I highly recommend reading the article in the entirety.

For those of you too lazy to read the article here is the thought exercise:

Imagine humanity reaching the 21st century without ever discovering Marijuana or Alcohol, how do you think this would affect the laws?

I encourage all my readers to ponder this thought and post your thoughts on this either here or at the comments section of this article.
