I support legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and am definitely open to its legalization for recreational purposes (although I would like to see a plan for some regulation of it). I think current possession of marijuana should be decriminalized. And while I’m generally opposed to new or higher taxation, I would support taxing marijuana sales (ideally utilizing that tax money for a specific purpose). Adding the tax should not be excessive – it shouldn’t be viewed as a “punishment” – but I believe some taxation is appropriate. source
