Do you support legalizing marijuana on the federal level?

Question

Yes, it's about time: Legalizing, or at least decriminalizing, marijuana at the federal level would have several positive effects on our economy. It would also ease strain on limited law enforcement and prison system resources, sending less people to jail for serious crimes related to marijuana. Legalization would also allow health agencies to better keep track of and regulate the kind of marijuana being grown and engineered in the U.S. Between the money that could be made AND saved by legalizing marijuana, I'm not sure why this wasn't done years ago! No, too much risk.: There is much risk associated with legalizing marijuana on the federal level, including expanded availability to young people. In states where the drug is legal right now, teenagers have an easier time getting their hands on pot and there are a rising number of daily/regular users in the 18-24 age range. This is our future workforce! Though some health benefits have been identified for legal marijuana, there are also harmful aspects to its use that, with legalization, more people will undoubtedly experience after either trying legal marijuana or becoming regular users.

Yes, it's about time: Absolutely! I don't partake, but common sense says it would cripple those supplying the substance illegally. It is very confusing to be legal in your state, but still be at risk of feds arresting you.
