What is your opinion on the legalization of weed?

I think it should be legal, it's way less harmful and intoxicating than alcohol. Only reason it's illegal is because the lawmakers are paid to keep it that way. You hear about people "donating" to keep it illegal. Donate is a fancy word for bribe and the people bribing our lawmakers are the people who profit from arresting innocent pot users. Like police forces, treatment centers, private prisons and pharmaceutical companies since they know they'll lose a lot of money when it's legal. That and everything else should be forced treatment instead of prison. We dont throw alcoholics in prison unless they drive or people who smoke cigs. So why throw someone in prison for being addicted to heroin or other addictive substances?
