I also don't get why morphine is a legally prescribed drug and THC is not. Why are we denying terminally ill people a medicine that eases their last days? This is nonsense. Put me into whatever ideological category you want, it's just plain wrong-headed.
Another problem is the mindset it creates.
My 80 year-old mother won't take her
prescribed pain pills at the prescribed
frequency, because she is afraid of becoming
addicted. I tell her, "So what?" but she
would rather walk around in pain until
it is too bad to ignore.

Putting Americans in a cage for smoking pot, in my opinion, is outrageous.
I have always believed if someone has a problem with drugs, any drugs, they should be given help if they really want it. Putting people in jail for smoking pot, is obscene and stupid.
Ask any cop, which is the most dangerous drug out there, and if they are honest, they will tell you, alcohol. Alcohol has killed more people, and destroyed more families than any drug! And they will also tell you, compared to pot, alcohol is a brutal, mass murdering substance.
