Say yes to Mary

So i guess there is this town in California where marijuana is prominent. I read this article on Yahoo.com called "Marijuana growers upend hard-luck California town". It is about how the lax laws on Marijuana have caused the children in the schools out there have to deal with marijuana everywhere. Even at school. A football coach had to move the football team to another side of the field due to the smoke coming up from one of the houses. here is the link so that you can see it for yourself.

Teaching kids to not do drugs is a very good thing to teach. They shouldnt do drugs. But if the Govnt would legalize marijuana and allow the money to go to our economy, and then have enforcement to make sure that these people are not smoking or growing weed within, lets say a five mile radius around schools and daycares. We would not have the problem of overexposure during school hours. I think the legalization would actually help, not only our economy, but it would also eliminate the black market for this drug. This article seems to be in disagreement with all of the exposure to weed. I completely agree, but the ways that were are trying to solve this problem does not seem to be working. So maybe we should try a new approach.
