    I cannot say that 'legalization' the way the Netherlands has implemented it, is the best way to do it, since cultivating is still illegal
-My thoughts are, if you are going to legalize it (and I hope they do) you need to do so fully. It should be legal to grow but taxed like crazy. Our prisons will start to empty and we will lose jobs in those areas which we could potentially make up for with jobs having to do with the cultivation and legal distribution of marijuana.

Aside: I was just talking with my wife about taking a trip to Amsterdam, I've never been but I've heard great things.
