Pot legalization favored by some to stem violence

Even though I am not supposed to talk about this at work, I thought some might find this interesting.

A growing chorus of lawmakers is openly calling for the legalization of marijuana as a measure to stop the escalating violence along U.S.-Mexico border.

The legislators who have endorsed legalization are Reps. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.), Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), and Ron Paul (R-Texas).

It's about time this gets seriously discussed. The criminalization of marijuana is bad policy.

I'm all for it but the nature of decision makes me think that it will be a second-term decision.
