Sex, drugs, rock and roll. This mantra of the left has now almost completely taken over our culture and society. Sex in the way of porn and gay sex. Drugs in the way of legalized pot and legal drugs like ritalin et al...rock and roll in the form of the music and entertainment industry completely dominating the minds and hearts of America.
Im of the opinion that it needs to be regulated for medical use, akin to alcohol.
Unfortunately, what I fear happening is the legitimate medical use has been co-opted by burnouts looking for a legal high, thus delegitimizing the medical uses.
That said, the illegality of that fuels a huge law enforcement and prison industry (read govt job security) that is unlikely and reluctant to retool
incidentally, I never smoked the stuff - neither did my roomie in college
