Take another perspective, the sad part may not be in legalizing it, but the sad part in making it illegal in the first place.

A multi-million dollar industry, and all that money goes to drug lords. What if it could go into drug rehabilitation clinics, instead? What if drug addicts could be sent to rehab instead of jail?

The downward spiral that keeps poor drug addicts poor is as much from a criminal record as it is from the drugs themselves.
