Black markets are dangerous and people are going to do it anyway. Albeit unintuitive, legalization and regulation is the way to go!

I tend to agree, but many people get so riled up on the topic that they forget that just because something is legal doesn't mean it's good and just because something is bad doesn't mean it should be illegal.
