Don't forget about Big Pharm. They want everyone to stop smoking so they can get the SMOKER'S money!
Agreed. One only needs to look at L-Tryptophan and the rise of the SSRI anti-depressants to prove your point.
It's another reason that big pharm and the liquor industry will not stand to see pot legalized ... and even the American Medical Association which promotes it's own stats that 40% of all hospital beds are occupied by people who;s ailments can be linked to the use of alcohol. That's alot of revenue, and a big reason alcohol will remain legal.
Drug laws are all about money and politics. You and I are in 100% total agreement here.
A scary thought, I know.
