Legalizing pot

It's not national pot smokers day yet, better known as 4/20, but why not? Legendary guitar player Santana is pleading for President Obama to make weed legal. During a party to promote his upcoming residency at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the arist asked the president to give it serious consideration."Legalize marijuana and take all that money and invest it in teachers and in education," Santana said in an interview. "You will see a transformation in America."
Santana thinks making pot legal is "really way overdue, like the prohibition with the alcohol and stuff like that." He really believe that as soon as weed is legalized and decriminalized America can actually afford a really good governor who won't keep taking money away from teachers and education programs. Santana jokes about sending him back to Hollywood where he can do 'D' movies and we can get an 'A' governor." Santana was referring to former movie action hero and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Santana's remarks were in response to a question about legalization that were raised to Obama during his online town hall on March 26. At the time Obama fielded a question about whether legalization of the illicit drug would help pull the nation out of recession. Obama said he didn't think it was good economic policy. Overall I believe that the legalization for marijuana could take us out of this recession period. People shouln't be judge on their opinion of pot, expecially if it can save our economy.
