"but I do recognize that the WOD is a total waste of taxpayer money & has no effect upon the numbers of pot smokers in the U.S."

So if pot were legal, we'd see no increase in the number of users.

Even you can't believe that.

I didn't hunt them down, but I've seen the stats that show that the %'s of cocaine users now is no less than before cocaine was banned in 190whatever and the numbers of ethanol users didn't increase with the repeal of prohibition, however, the violence associated with the gang warfare over ethanol distribution did end with making it legal, (didn't Al Capone invent drive by shootings), and I know I'm not going to go start smoking pot if it became legal. Are you?
And right now, everbody that wants pot can get it and nobody can stop them. Everyone that wants to smoke pot now is smoking pot now.
There is the gang violence over turf with the drug running. What if we made it a legal product and controlled & taxed the hell out of it like ethanol?
