Benefits of legalisation:
-Good for people with problems that it helps with such as cancer, glaucoma
-Good for country's budget as fighting a war on drugs is incredibly costly and has zero results
-Good for stability of neighbouring states (i.e. Mexico for America) which are currently at the mercy of drug lords made rich by prohibition, costing thousands of lives yearly
-Similarly good for communities which have drug dealers in them currently. Drug violence keeps poor areas poor. Legalisation will stop this.
-Good for people who want a way to relax since it's much healthier than alcohol. So much healthier that it's laughable to even compare them.
-Good for police force which will see a reduction in corruption
-Good for stoners as they won't have their lives destroyed for wanting to get high
-Good for prison as there will be far more space (seriously it will make a HUGE difference if you look at the figures) once all the nonviolent drug offenders are removed.

Negatives of legalisation:
-Bad for people who don't like stoners and want them to be in jail
-Bad for tobacco industry and alcohol industry as there will be a legal, cheaper and healthier alternative which produces (for many) a better high.

And no I am not a stoner :)

Yeah, discussions between reasonable people are much better. However, there's no reason to turn down any event with Sam Harris.
