Legal Pot in California a Big Mistake

The article discusses the new Proposition 19, which is on the ballot in California in November. Proposition 19 would make it legal for anyone 21 or older to buy small amounts of marijuana. Facebook executives have made large donations to the support and campaigning of the new Act. The author of this article discusses how this change in policy could open the door to widespread use of the drug. I disagree with his opinion and feel like the passing of this act would not only help stop crime related with the drug, but open up the already crowded prison system and alleviate the system of all the petty, small marijuana related charges. The article is a good example of policy change and government regulation.
