The city of San Francisco is in a constant flux of change over the Cannabis culture. Every time you look at the news, someone is being arrested for the usage, sale, or growth of Cannabis in the city. With so many people involved in the business of Cannabis for medical and recreational purposes, it's time to get a real sense of where Examiner readers fall on the continuum for legalization.

Poll: Should Cannabis be legalized?  Yes or No or Maybe

As your SF Dance Fitness Examiner, with no experience in the usage of Cannabis, my answer is yes and here are the reasons why:

- The sale and taxing of Cannabis can potentially bring the state of California out of bankruptcy and almost eliminate the US National Debt

- Cannabis consumption in low to moderate dosage can potentially reduce road rage and other types of violent behavior

- As a drug,  someone high on Cannabis is potentially less threatening than someone high on Alcohol or Cocaine

- Cannabis can be used as a creative brainstorming agent in corporate board meetings, government assemblies, and to settle international political disputes

- People high on Cannabis are potentially more relaxed and can dance in situations where they might be more reserved to otherwise
