The fact is that there IS crime, and he's, violent crime, committed by drug addicts (not pot) in order to get money for the next bit of crack, or meth, or heroin. There IS drug violence; it's not JUST drug law violence. And there are some people for whom laws will prevent their use. It's not a perfect deterrent, but it is a deterrent.

What the drug companies would do, btw, is move into the medical marijuana space in a HUgE way.

I would like the money spent to figure out root causes, not make something criminal and send people away for it work no real benefit. I mean in the end LOTS of things are flat out bad for us. You can't legislate intelligence.

Danny, I would say that most people who partake do not want to escape reality, they simply like it.
Just as not everyone who drinks wants to get drunk.

No reason to make it criminal, but it is a fact. Long term booze does too. Mouth and throat cancer are much higher. This is a fact. Not a reason for making it criminal, but facts. But don't ever tell me people who have smoked pot are UNIVERSALLY non violent. You lose the argument immediately. That is a lie. Again no reason for making it criminal, just a stupid thing to say.

People who are stoned are like people on Prozac, except the latter is not as environmentally unfriendly as the smokers are. Also, the people on Prozac do not smell like dead tramps in school, which is more than can be said for the average pothead teacher. Therefore, then, we must change the attitudes and behaviour of the pot heads, on a global scale, if are to save the world.

I remember one guy who was a load of laughs when he was high, but very dangerous when drunk. But like many things it's illegality has nothing to do with how dangerous it is, or what the people want. The puppet masters pull the strings and the puppets dance.

Not enough, according to your 97% of old fools that spew their nonsense, half-baked moral platitudes - and pocket their checks, while telling us there are too many people using too much stuff.

Uruguay will become the first nation in the world completely to legalize the sale and production of marijuana under state control, says the Voice of America, thereby going beyond other nations — and US states — that allow individuals to possess it.
Mujica's "experiment" is supported by American investor-philanthropist George Soros and his Open Society Foundation, as well as the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance, according to The Washington Post. Mujica has met personally with both Soros and another US billionaire, David Rockefeller, to discuss the move. The Rockefeller is decades in front you pot heads.

People who are stoned are like people on Prozac Completely different. Marijuana is nothing like Prozac in chemistry or effect. If anything, they are opposites. There seems, however, to be a possibly interesting correlation between young teen-age school shooters and the use of Prozac, but I would put that in the realm of speculation at this point rather than fact. I have heard, however, that the sale of alcohol in gambling establishments works to the advantage of the owner in two ways: the sales of the stuff and the decreased expertise at the card tables. Except, unfortunately, for those awkward times when they upend them.
