Anthony is a marijuana smoker and says legalization is the right thing to do.

"It's going to not only make us richer, but it's going to improve the infrastructure.  It's going to improve schools and it's going to improve many different things," he says.  "Marijuana actually helps fight addiction. I've actually heard some studies, which I agree with a lot more than marijuana being a gateway drug. The actual gateway drug is alcohol of course," Anthony says.
