And yet making it legal condones it and makes it easier to get addicted. Legalizing it makes the problem much, Denmark is a perfect example. The death rate and crime rate sky rockets.

The only ones happier are the addicted, ant there are a lot more of them.

Pot makes people less productive, do we need more welfare cases?

Making a drug illegal doesn't make it harder to obtain or to get addicted and only gives rise to a criminal class where crime and death rate skyrockets. See: Alcohol Prohibition.

Pot is illegal in Denmark. See: Marijuana in Denmark

The only ones happier are the addicted, ant there are a lot more of them.

And if they're hurting no one but themselves, how is that anyone else's business?

Drinking makes people less productive, too. We tried to outlaw alcohol. It didn't work.

Since when do we legislate productivity? This country was founded on the principle of self-determination. We let people decide for themselves whether they want to be productive members of society or not.

I will say this again. You cannot legislate social behavior. All that does is make criminals of otherwise law-abiding citizens.
