Good info. Now get ready for the irrational reasoning of those in favor of legalizing some/all drugs like pot. Their 2 favorite lines are "the WOD is a failure!" and "hey, booze is legal and it's a lot worse than pot!". Now just try and follow the logic: ALCOHOL=BIG PROBLEM & LEGAL, POT=SMALL PROBLEM & ILLEGAL. Did it ever dawn on these people that alcohol is a much bigger problem BECAUSE it IS legal and readily available? Evidently, the reasoning is let's make pot legal so it will be as big of a problem as alcohol. That way it's "fair" and not "hypocritical". What a hoot. Also, if drug problems pale in comparison to alcohol problems, how can it be argued that the WOD is ineffective? They simply can't have it both ways. If drugs are a small problem in America, then the WOD must be working after all. If drugs ARE a big problem, then making them a BIGGER problem through legalization is insanity.
Of course, if I was stoned, I'm sure it would all make perfect sense.

Booze is a lot worse than pot, and there's no denying it. I'll reiterate: You can drink yourself to the point that you can't lift your head off the table in a couple of hours. You can drink yourself to death in a single night.
Compare that to pot; you can't overdose on weed. You can only get so high, even if you smoke a whole bale. These are the facts, you won't counter them because you can't.

If alchohol is a bigger problem legal than it would be illegal, why don't they go ahead and make alchohol illegal as well?
Oh wait, they tried that already. It was called Prohibition and it was a disaster.

I suppose in one sense it's not, in that it's conditioned Americans to sacrifice their Constitutional rights so that law enforcement can use invasive methods to stop victimless crimes. Plenty of government officials are quite pleased about that.

Alcohol under Prohibition=EVEN WORSE PROBLEM. Do the math

Um, I thought this country had learned the opposite lesson from our experience with alcohol Prohibition. But I could be wrong, because I have smoked pot more than a few times so my brain synapses are fried.

sounds like you were stoned when writing that response.
just keep touting the WOD talking points...
MJ is plenty available, and the WOD has not really kept it out of the hands of anyone
Atleast with legaization maybe you could get better control and regulate it so it doesn't end up in the hands of minors......
As well tax the heck out of it, !!!!!!!!!!!
