As soon as the demonization of smoking a cigarette quits...I’ll think about legalisation. (I am not a smoker, btw). Taxing pot could be very lucrative..but I want pictures and warnings and massive restrictions.

As soon as Libertarians run on the “L” ticket as opposed to the “R” ticket...

Pot is a weed that doesn’t need any refining, once legal, it will be free and everywhere, no one will be paying tax.

Making a Marlboro, a Bourbon, a Beer is complicated and is meant to please the palate.

Why are you making your thinking - and presumably, also your ACTING - against something you imply you realize is UNJUST contingent upon the consistent behavior of others?

What you wrote is like saying "I'll think about allowing Blacks to drink out of the same water fountain as soon as 'they' stop [insert any other arbitrary morally reprehensible condition in the world]."

And "demonization" is not to be compared to "illegalization." Getting cited and having to pay a $200 fine for smoking in a restaurant is NOT comparable with being thrown in the pokey and getting anally raped because you were sitting at home smoking some marijuana you grew in your own flower box.

Regards,

People who make money from the sales of drugs are called drug dealers. You want them in charge of your country?
