Marijuana Legalization: More Than 100 College Professors Express Support For Colorado's Legal Pot Measure. From HuffPo.

I approve this message.
Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol has released a letter today signed by more than 100 college professors -- from Colorado and around the nation -- that support the group's November marijuana legalization initiative, Amendment 64, which seeks to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana for adults similar to the way alcohol is regulated (Scroll down for the letter).

The marijuana advocacy group is releasing the letter on the day that President Barack Obama makes a campaign stop at Colorado State University in what is expected to be a campaign speech about the issues that affect young college-age voters.

The more than 100 professors represent many different fields of study from law, health, economics and criminal justice from various universities around the nation including some professors from CSU as well as former colleagues of President Obama's during his time as a professor at University of Chicago Law School.

    This isn't going to improve academia's standing with the Republican party.

    And the "former colleagues of President Obama" line is relevant to exactly what?

      Yes, that was a rhetorical question on my part.

    Marijuana never leads to other drug use, there's no evidence for that, yet people claim that "it leads to drug abuse", I wonder if they were high themselves. Marijuana is competition to the Alcohol and Tobacco Industries, because it is cheaper and does less/no damage to the body (marijuana doctor verifies that) and we could smoke it longer.
