There's been enough research on the various substances, to where we're fairly well-informed on the potential effects. Now, since about a gazillion things in the world can have "an effect ranging from minor to major," what do you suggest as far as the next step?
I would suggest something similar to alcohol or tobacco....heavily taxed,heavily regulated and to some extent you can grow your own but cannot sell it.

Sound good?

Just think of the money that could be saved not subsidizing farmers.

How about just being able to grow, and possess your own?

That would drive the price down...
Funny,when we were looking for land we looked at an old farm in KY,one of the owners told us if only the gov. would let them grow pot the farm would be successful...

Of course I believe pot is the top cash crop of KY....

My sister used to grow it in her backyard,this was in Australia where it wasn't a criminal offense.

Did she subsequently go nuts and start shooting people?

I'm guessing not.
