Legalize marajuana?

Today I will be discussing a very recent topic, that has been brought up in regards to the financial crisis and the failing economy: Marijuana. Marijuana is a hell of a drug, not that i would personally know. Many critics have argued over the years that because it has less health risks than alcohol ,and is a lot more fun, that the prohibition on marijuana should be lifted. Now many are arguing that legalizing and taxing it is the only sound way to save our economy, though at what price.

As everyone knows, our economy is in a state of collapse and the government apparently has no idea how to stop it from crumbling. After two bailouts, it still appears to be in free fall with no sign of relief. All over the Internets, however, people are proclaiming a savior, a sticky green Messiah called marijuana! They say that if we legalize it and tax it, it will generate billions in tax revenue and clean up our prison system. I have heard rumors that it would also quadruple the snack-food industry and reignite folk music like never before. 

There is a huge downside, however!!!! According to my own theories and experiences it could create an outbreak of zombie like creatures that will devour everything in sight. If we legalize marijuana there may be no economy to save.
