you apparently don't know that alcohol Prohibition has been tried, over the opposition of the conservatives of the day, and proved to cause more ills than it cured.

You are giving the pot warriors theme. You can’t stop it, so go with it.

No, that's not my argument. My argument is closer to: When in a hole, stop digging.

I disagree, we also try to stop theft, murder and rape. I think those will never go away either.

Two-thirds of murders are solved - the proportion of drug "crimes" that are even detected is assuredly orders of magnitude smaller.

Make people get a prescription (not a note) from a real doctor of record for a real condition and get the pot through a real pharmacy and you may be on to something.

Also make sure they can't get the crap for a headache, unprovable back injury or for minor health issues of the day.

I have zero problem with the 3-4% of legitimate use, the rest is all recreational drug abuse no matter what holes you think you are digging.
