I wouldn't touch marijuana with a 30 foot pole and a hazmat suit. Regardless, making it illegal is pointless and stupid. While marijuana harms your lungs in much the same way cigarettes do, the most dangerous risk you take with marijuana is it being laced with other drugs like crack. If legalized, two things would happen: Many violent drug gangs would suddenly "go out of business", and you would be able to buy marijuana in a store where you know what you're getting. And the government would be able to collect tax revenue. Everyone wins.
