and what , pray tell , is Barck Obama going to do?
He could save enough money each year, by decriminalizing marijuana , and granting a blanket pardon to all who are incarcerated for solely marijuana related offenses , to profoundly affect the present financial shortcomings .
The government can control it, tax it and provide assistance for those finding themselves addicted to it.
The government can regulate all medical alcohol houses and collect millions in taxes.
I just think it's absolutely hypocritical to continue to keep such a benign drug such as alcohol illegal.
After all, alcohol has only been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths nationwide over the last decade.
Geez, let's put all this into perspective can we.
Seriously, if one analyzes the data on illness and deaths attributed to marijuana as opposed to alcohol, seems to me the wrong drug is outlawed.
I don't necessarily think the prohibition on pot should be lifted, however to keep alcohol legal and plentiful after being presented with hard “facts” is just plain damn dumb and hypocritical.
“He could save enough money each year, by decriminalizing marijuana”
Do you mean “legalize,” regulate similar to the way we regulate alcohol? Or do you mean “decriminalize” like several states have already done where they don’t allow for production or sales and they give people what is basically like a traffic ticket when they find them with a small amount?
