Your opinion is obvious. I was told long ago that if we had known as much about alcohol as we do today, probation would have never been done away with. I hate to bust your bubble but there are meny health reasons not to use the drug. The main one for me is that the person smoking this crap always gets blasted,(drunk on his ass) there is no part way. I would look for alcohol to be outlawed before pot is lawful.

I’m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. Why is it that the drug warriors seem so intent on the notion that the effect of alcohol is like a spectrum, but that marijuana is a on/off switch? It is just silly.

Just like with booze, if one smokes a little, they catch a little buzz (think: glass of wine or 2). Of one smokes a lot, the buzz is considerably greater (think: multiple shots of tequila without the subsequent loss of motor control and bouts of throwing up).

The effects of alcohol were pretty well known long before 1933.

Where do you get this crap? That is flat-out completely untrue. There is also no boogeyman, no Easter bunny, babies aren't delivered by a stork, and you won't go blind if you touch yourself. No, I don't know why grown-ups told you these things when you were little.

That would be the answer to the most fervent prayers of organized crime everywhere, not to mention anyone who wants to bring about a police state.

40% of adults have used marijuana at some point in their lifetime; why not expand the pool of criminals to encompass the 83% who've used alcohol? I mean, no one is concerned about the rights of criminals, so if we can just make everyone a criminal, that whole pesky civil rights thing goes right out the window.
