Where insanity reigns in the regime that thinks it appropriate to use police and prisons as a method of drug abuse treatment.

[Parmy]

That is not true. Out here in WA, marijuana was legalized and the problems related to the drug still abound. It is just that the users are more in the open.

One never knows if the car coming towards you has a driver who is high on the drug.

As far as the prison argument is concerned, I don't care. I didn't tell the stupes to use the drug and am not interested in having my tax money pay for treatments that may or may not work.

This boils down to the fact that these people have cast aside their personal responsibility.

We all have free-will. As individuals we make choices to be either use something that messes up the brain and the health or to not. If one makes the first choice, that is not my responsibility to pat that individual on the head and say, "Gee! That's ok."

If that is hard, then so-be-it.

As far as the government and marijuana growers and sellers are concerned, it is the money.
