You can't successfully win a "war on drugs" without creating an internal police state so comprehensive that Himmler or Beria would moan with envy.

I don't have a problem with some drugs being illegal if that's what the voters want, but the totalitarian excesses of the WOD must be rolled back.

Tobacco is the window drug to alcohol and alcohol is the window drug to ALL of the other drugs in use by society, especially and in particular prescription drugs- which you so conveniently fail to discuss or reference. Special note to children being prescribed pharmaceuticals for every imaginable ailment known and unknown.

I have nothing further to say to you for waste of oxygen is certain. In fairness, and expectation, a response by you is anticipated. Please save your time and Jim Thompson's bandwith by refraining from your usual infantile postings of images of psychotic killers under the guise of marijuana induced behaviors. The rest of us posting here can find correlating links to psychotic killers under the influence of prescription drugs and widespread use of alcohol. YOU have the myopic view on pot.

Demographics all but guarantee it will grow faster in the future. Exit poll results for the FL medical MJ vote, which got 58% of the vote, 2 short of the 60% needed to pass =>

___________________________________________________________________

Age => Yes / No

18-24 => 83% / 17%

25-29 => 75% / 25%

30-39 => 68% / 32%

40-49 => 63% / 37%

50-64 => 58% / 42%

65 + => 38% / 62%

Imagine if, when Prohibition was repealed, instead of shielding children from harmful exposure to alcohol, state and federal governments had essentially abandoned them to the glamour drinking culture.

You mean the way the country was before Prohibition?

Oregon is working on it. But it can’t be sold out of state under current law. Canada grows hemp mostly for seed...for feed and oil.

Another point lost on them is that people start with pot...

Usually after experimenting with tobacco and alcohol.
