Sorry. I tend to preach about this subject pretty regularly, as it hits pretty close to home for me.

I like your idea, and I respect the advocacy for "all-out" legalization, but...wouldn't regulation/taxation create the same issue that we're seeing with alcohol and tobacco in our schools? A lot of kids are trying alcohol and tobacco at young ages now, because technically it's legal...if you're over a certain age. They see their parents using it, other kids using it, and eventually they think about using it, too. I don't want my daughter getting suspended from school for anything...period. But I know I'd be considerably more irate if I were told that she has been suspended for shooting smack in the back of the classroom, or smoking PCP in the locker room.
My own opinion is that we should at least start with marijuana. If/when things go well, then maybe start thinking about the other psychedelic and organic edibles!
