My whole family voted to legalize it, it passed overwhelmingly. In washington marijuana was given the lowest possible priority, and if you had less than an ounce on you, the police could only take it away from you or throw it on the ground and leave you.

The reasoning behind legalizing had to do mostly with socio-economic issues. Weed is a widely used and available drug, but the under ground drug dealers had a monoply on it. This was money taken from the communities without being taxed and regulated for quality. Drug dealers, very nasty ones make tons and tons of money of it. So, if its already available, and it being illegal does know benefit why not legalize it?

Also, I don't know anything about what the deen says, I don't advocate for its use and I don't personally use it. But I don't think its so black and white as the deen makes it halal or haram. Some issues need to be examined within the society, time, and pros/cons of where you are at.
