For me, a big issue with it is the taxes. People who are going to buy it are going to buy it regardless if it's legal or not. Like cigarettes or alcohol. And with most states having reduced possession punishments, more people are going to buy it illegally because they know there's no jail time, it'lll just be a fine.

So if people are going to do it, legalize it and tax it like every other product. I'd prefer the tax go just to fund substance abuse centers for real drug users, but just like most states legalizing lotteries to fund education, I doubt that would happen.
