Oh, Common. Do you really believe that "Reefer Madness" nonsense.

No.

However those who are severely mentally ill do not do well on marijuana. As I've posted before, when society has a handle on the mentally ill, even if it's only re-institutionalizing them, I might agree to a limited use of pot. But if you think I am going to concede to anyone being able to cruise on down to the 7-11 for a pack of nugs, you're wrong. Take another hit, man.

Nor alcohol, nor many other legal nonchemical stimuli. Should they ALL be banned because of their effect on the severely mentally ill? If not, why single out marijuana?

Regarding drug laws and the mentally ill: I'm still waiting for your response to this.

I think that is quite possibly the lamest argument I've seen. There are alot of people who drink and drive, or who get violent on alchohol, so we should deny everyone else a glass of wine?

Yawn. Isn't a little early for the seventh grade comments?

I guarantee you that mentally ill people would be worse on alcohol or caffeine but I don't see liquor stores doing psychiatric screenings.

There is absolutely no good argument why marijuana is illegal but alcohol/tobacco isn't. Except, of course, for the fact that it would be difficult to tax.
