"Personally, I think it should be legal and Phillip Morris can grow it. But, if not, then we need to fight the war as hard as we can."

Why? It's an unwinnable war that isn't worth fighting. Why go to the trouble and expense? Why blow lots of money and lock lots of people up when we know it's not going to do anything but cost us a bunch of money and fill up our prisons and jails? I think trying to enforce the prohibition against marijuana causes more problems than it solves. We'd have more control over marijuana if it was a legal and regulated industry. I think that's going to happen someday, but in the mean time I don't want my tax dollars being wasted waging a futile war on people involved with marijuana.

There was this mayor in New York who didn't agree with your philosophy and found that going to the "trouble and expense" of fighting "minor" crimes made a significant difference on overall crime in the city.

Sorry to burst your bubble -- it was an otherwise great-sounding post.
