"Statistics! Facts! Data! Arrrrrgh! Begone! They interfere with my feelings and suppositions."

Feelings and suppositions are the only things that could possibly lead a reasonable, educated person to support something like marijuana prohibition.

The harder drugs are a different issue for most people. But there is still no reasonable argument for keeping pot illegal.

Why do you think that small surveys of illegal and I would say immoral and unethical behavior will be reported accurately? Even if people were to be honest what evidence do you have that the government does a good job in collecting information on such behaviors? At an easier level, please give examples, on any matter, where the government keeps good numbers?

First true statement I can ever remember you making.
