I'm guessing you've never dealt with cinfla before. Drinking a whole lot of Guiness and reading WOD threads is a whole lot of un if you've never tried itr. I love St. Paddys day.

They became tedious,ennui inducing,juvenile,and so I don't bother. The ones pushing for the legalization of proscribed substances never say anything new,don't know enough factual history,and just turn these threads into flames wars. But thanks for missing me. :-)
I just stopped by, to add some historical facts.I noticed that they were lacking and/or misinterpreted.
And alas, my CORRECT spelling of "TICTURE" (which is how it was spelled in the 1800s ),was "corrected" to "tiNcture". LOL

By what measurement? Drug use fluctuates with no apparent correlation to WOD expenditure, and support for the relegalization of marijuana continues to rise -- as does (I believe) support for the proposition that the WOD has failed. Perhaps you missed (no you didn't. I posted it to you) the speech where the head of NORML said 2002 was a major setback for the pro-drug cause.

Washington, DC, Nov 6, 2002: Yesterday's defeat of a trio of marijuana reform initiatives in Arizona, Nevada and South Dakota mark a temporary setback, but also offer an opportunity for self assessment, NORML Executive Director Keith Stroup said today.
All three initiatives targeted separate aspects of marijuana law reform.
* ARIZONA
Arizona's proposal, which won only 43 percent of the vote, would have replaced criminal penalties on minor marijuana offenses with a civil fine, and mandated the state to distribute medical marijuana free to qualified patients.
* NEVADA
Question 9 in Nevada, which won only 39 percent of the vote, sought to eliminate all penalties on the possession of three ounces or less of marijuana, and mandated state officials to implement a system whereby adults could obtain pot through a legally regulated market.
* SOUTH DAKOTA
South Dakota's Initiative 1, which gained a reported 38 percent of the vote (with 769 of 844 precincts counted), sought to establish a state-licensing system so that farmers could legally grow the non-psychoactive variety of cannabis known as hemp.
hemp cultivation.
Broader statewide drug reform initiatives also yielded disappointing results.
* OHIO and ARIZONA
An Ohio initiative (Initiative 1) mandating treatment rather than incarceration for non-violent drug offenders gained only 33 percent of the vote, and an Arizona proposal (Prop. 302) re-instituting probation and incarceration for some non-violent drug offenders passed with 69 percent of the vote.
NORML Executive Director Keith Stroup said there are many lessons drug-law reformers can learn from yesterday's outcome, and stressed the need for follow-up polling in Arizona and Nevada to better determine why a majority of citizens voted against these proposals. "Certainly, the political climate of this year's election was decidedly conservative, as evidence by the gains made by Republicans in both the House and Senate and the defeat of several other liberal, but non-drug reform initiatives around the country," he said.
Nevertheless, despite yesterday's defeats, Stroup's outlook for the marijuana law reform movement remains optimistic. "Yesterday's losses represent a temporary setback, but it's one we know we can and will overcome. The American public stands solidly against our government's policy of arresting and jailing responsible adult marijuana smokers, and we will continue to make gains on this core issue."

Support for legalized marijuana down inspite of the attempts of Mrleroy to spin otherwise.
May 15, 2003
Part One: The Polls
According to a 2001 Gallup Poll, 34% of Americans favor marijuana's legalization. Support for legalization was about 25% throughout most of the 1980s and 1990s, falling from 28% support in 1977.

It seems that Kerry, Soros and onmyfeet are all on the same side.
On the campaign trail, Kerry said he favored federal medical marijuana legislation and pledged to end the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA's) raids on patients and caregivers in states with medical marijuana laws. The stand earned him an "A-" grade in Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana's (GSMM's) voter guide. Gen. Wesley Clark (D-AR), in third place with three-fourths of the votes counted, also pledged to end the raids and received a B+.
