That doesn't mean that the people are right. And, the politicians generally want the legalization because of the money generated that they can spend.

Finally, what happened to the advertisement of eggs frying in a pan, and the admonition of 'that's what your brain is on drugs'. Marijuana is definitely a drug.

I saw guys, in Vietnam, that were smokers and you could always tell one because they invariably had red-rimmed eyes. Pathetic!!!

No, politicians do not generally want legalization. They like the power and money that prohibition brings to government. Even now with a sizeable majority of people in favor of it, politicians are dragging their feet.

Absolutely - and like other drugs such as alcohol, regular use is not a good idea. But banning those drugs is an even worse idea, whose main effect is to enrich violent criminals.
