Right On about Profits. Pot is illegal in large part because because is is easy to grow almost anywhere, and therefore cannot be 1) taxed, or 2) manufactured by large corporations and sold for obscene profits.
Thought for today: visualize every alchohol abuser a pot-head instead.
And no, I don't use or grow the Evil Weed, that's against the law and until the law is changed I will respect that. My Own Private Nirvana is one beer a day and a beer and a cigar Every Sunday Momma and Everything's All Right.
I don't actually respect the law at all. I'd probably use my right to jury veto if put on a jury for a pothead with all the evidence against him. However, I have no desire to use it or most drugs. I can't even stand what the prescription drugs do to me.
