You can't see difference legalizing something that has been illegal and criminalizing something that was legal?

Marijuana was legal prior to 1937.

And, more citizens have died due to drunk driving than due to murder over the past 30 years. So, why do we need more legal ways for citizens become intoxicated? How many more lives are you willing to see lost per year so losers can smoke pot?

For the same reasons that alcohol is legal, marijuana should be legal. The criminalization of marijuana creates far more problems than it solves. More violence from drug gangs, more prisoners, more court costs, more police enforcement. Like I said, big government on steroids.

Live and let live. Leave the pot smokers alone, they aren't hurting anyone.

I also saw your posts about psychotic episodes and the purported link to marijuana use. It is a desperate attempt to scare people away from marijuana use. Almost everyone today tries marijuana at some point. When they do, the scare tactics no longer work.

It's absurd for anyone to claim citizens have a right to engage in behavior harmful to others. Getting high is a danger to others.
