In a free society, you don't need a valid reason to make something "legal". You need a valid reason to make something "illegal".
The push to criminalize marijuana in the early 20th century was completely based on fear, racism, and ignorance. Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol.

I don't beleive more disinformation and out-right lies have ever been used in any other "anti" campaign. People have been methodically and purposely misled for years.
A naturally occuring plant is "illegal". Unreal.

..in recorded history there has never been a marijuana overdose Ummm. I've read of at least 2 in the last year right here on FR. I'm about to head out of work, but when I get home I'll try to run a search and find the stories. I believe the articles mentioned the THC factor was higher (pun unintended) than they'd ever seen before.

I've read of at least 2 [marijuana overdoses] in the last year right here on FR.I recall one case where a UK coroner could find no cause of death, but did find THC, and so ridiculously concluded that the THC caused the death. Please do track down that other case; I'll bet it's just as good for a laugh.

This is the way I see it anyway (insert irony)
God made pot = bad
Man made booze = good

Also, Lindsey noted, marijuana is illegal.LOL.
Why is it bad?
Because it's illegal.
Why is it illegal?

Maddy, a local advocate for reforming marijuana laws, believes pot should be decriminalized. The drug is harmless, he says, and prohibition destroys the lives of thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens.
This "Crazie" doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground and must be ignored.
Just another song of the "Sirenes" crafted to trap other numb noggins such as himself.
