We need law to regulate individuals in society that do not have the intelligence or ability to regulate themselves. Laws deter people from behaving in a manner that negatively affects the quality of life of others.

Looking at women wearing ugly "fashions" negatively affects my quality of life - is that government's business?

Therefore, we have laws to: protect people against themselves,

So government should ban smoking and overeating?

enforce the rights of others

Selling and using pot violates no rights - no person has the "right" to demand that another person not use pot.

and solve conflicts justly.

In Florida specifically, politicians and attorneys continue to place the legalization of pot on the ballot even though it voters have repeatedly rejected the proposition to legalize pot.

So? The voters can keep voting against it - doesn't sound much like "organized criminals".

If medical marijuana is necessary,m pharmaceutical companies develop pills that administer exact dosages per pill.

Pills are harder to titrate because slower-onset ... and can be hard for patients with nausea to keep down.

Yes, prohibition did result in decreased consumption of alcohol.

So you claim.

Not quality of life.,. LIFE!
Drugs DIRECTLY puts others in society at risk. If folks want pot so badly have them turn in their Drivers Licenses!

These politicians and attorneys continue to place the legalization of pot on the ballot WHILE setting up & investing into a dispersal system.

If medical marijuana is necessary, the pharmaceutical companies can develop pills, capsules, & even suppositories that would THEN administer exact standardized dosages per pill rather than random quantity of drug now.
