It shouldn't be illegal because it does not harm to anyone other than the user. I can understand the case against Heroin, etc.

Who does heroin harm other than the user?

"Drugs are the only massively profitable criminal enterprise capable of funding such groups on that level now."

But you propose to legalize only marijuana. Don't you think the gangs will then go into high gear to promote cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy, PCP, and all the other hard drugs?

What are they going to do---run ad campaigns?

True. Unlike tobacco, marijuana tends to inflame only the large passageways of the lungs. That is why is does not cause/exacerbate bronchitis and emphysema. As you suggest, because of its vasodilative properties, cannabis may in fact be useful in the treatment of both.

Other than marijuana, please name all agents which have this effect.

All the ones you've seen? Does this constitute a scientific analysis on your part? Would you like to submit this as a basis for a policy that costs billions, ruins and endagers lives and property, corrupts police, paralyzes our justice system, encroaches on our liberties and muddles our foreign policy? Bravo! Brilliant!

If they're smart, they'll publish a number of articles on how hard drugs aren't so bad. You'll find and post every one of them on FR. This should get them off to a great start.

Speak for yourself. I favor none of those things.

<yawn> In other words, 'gangs going into high gear to promote hard drugs' was more of your baseless BS.
