So apparently marijuana has now been legalized for recreational use in Colorado and Washington. I don't smoke it myself, but this is a big deal for those who support the legalization. What are your thoughts on the subject? How do you feel about the economic approach towards it (taxing it)?

P.S. sorry if this discussion happens to be against the rules, you can close it if it does. But I'm sure it's relevant to some people on the forums and it's still current events.
