"The 2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse reported that 34 percent of Americans have used marijuana in their lifetime and 5 percent are current users."

I guess the fact that Potheads are in the minority might make it harder to get Marijuana legalized. This is good news!

Destructor, you stated:

"...Potheads are in the minority might make it harder to get Marijuana legalized."

The 9th amendment of the U.S. Constitution states:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain RIGHTS, shall NOT be construed to DENY or DISPARAGE others (rights) RETAINED by the PEOPLE."

The framers composed this amendment because they new the essence of freedom, all of the liberties inherent to men and women, were too numerous and personal to list.

The constitution of the U.S. and of the States are designed to protect the liberties of the minority from the tyranny of the majority.

One of our RIGHTS, not enumerated in the constitution, but retained by the people, which shall not be denied or disparaged is the right to ingest the substance of our choice.

You do not want to ingest marijuana, don't that is your choice. Do not use the tyranny of the majority to deny others their right.

I am sure you will be in complete agreement with me and support the constitutional right to ingest the substance of your choice because in the very near future, "they" will be have made your cheeseburger illegal.

That should read: "5 percent are admitted current users."

Actually, I seem to recall polls stating that a majority of Americans are for decriminalization. It's the hard-core WODders such as you who are in the minority.
