More people will sell pot because there is a smaller penalty then the others if you get caught dealing it and it is so readily available because of the sources of supply. That alone makes it the first drug people will try outside of alcohol really being the first but since it is illegal it is not included in the group. Kat,

If you group it with cigarettes and alcohol (even though alcohol is probably the worst drug of them all), wouldn't people be less likely to try illegal drugs after smoking legal marijuana?

I don't want anybody suffering with cancer or another illness that marijuana can help with the pain, but surely there is another way to get it to that person without legalizing it. I work at a <a href="http://www.stopaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">drug rehab</a> and trust me on how many people have said that marijuana was got them "not" afraid to experiment with other drugs be it prescription or illicit. This just seems all bad to me. This legalizing seems such a bad idea to me.
