In 1925, H. L. Mencken wrote an impassioned plea: “Prohibition has not only failed in its promises but actually created additional serious and disturbing social problems throughout society. There is not less drunkenness in the Republic but more. There is not less crime, but more. ... The cost of government is not smaller, but vastly greater. Respect for law has not increased, but diminished.”

So, please list what good has come from the prohibition against marijuana. Not what good *might* come, but what good has actually come. At least in your opinion.

It would probably be best to abbreviate it in a numbered bullet format.

Who cares about HL Mencken

How about we start caring about right and wrong and how wrong running around stoned is?

FOR PEACE!
FOR POT!
FOR RON PAUL!
