If it was properly enforced and had many restrictions I think it could work. unfortunately most people are brainwashed to think marijuana will instantly wreck your life and is just as bad as cocaine or heroin, which in my opinion should always stay illegal.The only way it is addicting is mentally. It is no more addicting than candy. I can't stop myself from eating candy. Why? I like candy. A lot. It's the same with weed.
I recommend watching this video. It is an episode of the Showtime TV show "Penn & Teller's BULLSHIT!" Where they did a special on "The War on Drugs" They touch on the money being wasted on the U.S. govt's war on drugs, and reasons why marijuana should be legalized.
I recommend you all watch this very interesting and informative video
