But the powers that be want to keep it illegal. That keeps it's growing, harvesting,sale, distribution and profiting squarely in the hands of criminals. And of course it keeps the cops and the courts and the rehabs in business too. garbage in... garbage out. I once asked a ''prohibitionist'' "Why do you suppose drugs are so readily available to kids?'' He couldn't answer. I said "Could it be because drug dealers don't ask for id'?'' All I got from him was the deer-in-the-headlight look.

But you know what my theory is on why the powers that be may be changing their minds on that?

I suspect they think that it aids them in their brainwashing people with socialist/ communist ideas, and I might even be inclined to believe that’s true. But I have seen evidence that this is not the rule.

I think what it might to is make one generally more open minded to any ideas that may be present at the time, and in the case of this country, almost all media and education is oriented towards communism, thus people being high may allow that ideology to take root faster.

Many years ago early on in my life I used to get high quite often, and many times I would listen to Rush Limbaugh while high, and he most certainly convinced me that his way of thinking was correct. It just kinda’ worked its way right on there and took hold and made sense to me.

Anyway, just my theory on that.

And you think legalizing marijuana will make it less available to kids?

You can answer honestly or you can give us all a good laugh.

The basic principle of conservatism is that if you tax something, it becomes less available and if you subsidize something, it becomes more available.

Do you expect the legalization of marijuana to drive up its price or lower it?
