Glad you're laughing. I don't know what bias you think is "glowing like neon." I'm all for drugs that have purposes and I think marijuana does have a useful medicinal use and have never had a problem with it being prescribed.
You probably would like to see us revert back to the days where one could purchase tincture of heroin at the chemist's.

We had less heroin abuse in those days than we do now.
"The stated goals of current U.S.drug policy -- reducing crime, drug addiction, and juvenile drug use -- have not been achieved, even after nearly four decades of a policy of "war on drugs". This policy, fueled by over a trillion of our tax dollars has had little or no effect on the levels of drug addiction among our fellow citizens, but has instead resulted in a tremendous increase in crime and in the numbers of Americans in our prisons and jails. With 4.6% of the world's population, America today has 22.5% of the worlds prisoners. But, after all that time, after all the destroyed lives and after all the wasted resources, prohibited drugs today are cheaper, stronger, and easier to get than they were thirty-five years ago at the beginning of the so-called "war on drugs"...
