Well great for Iowa, but it
Well great for Iowa, but it doesn't mean much unless it helps convince the federal government to reschedule marijuana as a drug available for prescription!
Pot heads do not go out and
Pot heads do not go out and rape and steal like coke heads or drunks. A drunk is legal but a drunk man is more likely to rape a woman he met in the bar than a pot head. Shit a pot head is lucky if he can get his high ass up to go to the fridge to take care of his munchies.

Where?
Cite your sources, please. Unsubstantiated claims only provide fodder for those who want to dismiss the legitimacy of re-legalization.
Here and Now
As a resident, belive me when I say. This a HUGE step for this state.
Doesn't Matter
Until the Federal Government makes a move it doesn't matter what States do. The Constitution specifically states that Laws that aren't reserved to the Federal Government are to the States. This is what Article 10 discusses. Since Marijuana is a Schedule I drug as listed by the FDA and DEA until they remove it no State law is going to matter.
Making marijuana
Making marijuana legal could have several benefits, one of them being that patients who require medical marijuana can take them safely without fear of persecution. The number of minor crimes related to possession of the drug would fall too.
