I insist on treating my fellow citizens like adults; it is people like you who are seriously wrecking people's lives because you insist on enriching criminals and removing marijuana from effective regulation (such as age limits).

Drug Usage in the US is about 2% currently.

Wrong - past-month use of any illicit drug was 9.2% in 2012. Now if we subtract pot we arrive at 1.9% ... but pot is exactly the subject of this thread.

By 1900 in China, in the province of Manchuria, it was about 50% of the population.

Of the much more addictive opium.

Even accepting your seriously deluded argument as fact,

I note you offer no argument for this alleged serious delusion.

you are bitching about ruining the lives of 2% of the population

Enriching criminals hurts more than just their customers. And criminalizing pot for adults not only makes it easier for kids to get than cigarettes or beer, but it leaves it subject to tainting.

in favor of a policy which will ruin the lives of 50% of the population.

Legalizing marijuana won't do that - it's not opium.

How about you and your deliberately deceitful @$$ stop beating around the bush? You are in fact, *IN FAVOR* of legalizing all drugs. Your own position proves my very point, that the argument for legalizing marijuana is in fact an argument for legalizing the whole thing.

You want to marry Alcohol and Pot as one, but you constantly argue that Marijuana and Other illicit drugs are two completely different things. Hypocrite much?

Just to let everyone on this thread know and understand, this guy "ConservingFreedom" is in fact in favor of legalizing any and all drugs.
