MarketWatch Op-Ed says legalize it.
Paul B. Farrell: End the war on drugs, start the legalization - MarketWatch
Wow. I never thought I'd see a piece like this on one of Wall Street Journal's business web sites. And I would gather, from the photo of the author provided, that perhaps the older generation is finally realizing that a stoner is a lot less dangerous than an alcoholic.
What I find most interesting about this is Farrell's shout-out to big pharmaceutical firms to lead the legalization discussion and legislation drive. I don't know about that. They have probably done their share of supporting the war on drugs since it has served them financially to do so. It would be smart of them to call for legalization, though. They would instantly be prepared for the distribution end of their new products, farming season notwithstanding for marijuana. But seriously, I would probably never smoke pot grown by Pfizer or Merck just on principal.
