What's ingrained in the social fabric doesn't appear to be under government's control: lifetime pot usage continues to grow and now stands at 44%.
They need to organize. Get Nero to subsidize it like they do corn. Use it to make ethanol.
At least that tax money spent wouldn’t be used to drive up corn and meat costs.
Useless statistic. "Lifetime usage" (aka 'ever used') means that an individual has tried marijuana at least once sometime in their life.
The significant percentage is "past 30 days usage". These are the users. And that number is 6-7%.
As usual, the problem with Libertarians is that their "Life experience" consists of just one life. Their own. They have not the slightest clue how their ideas work out in subsequent generations. They are the quintessential spoiled brats who think they know everything but really don't.
It is growing at the same rate as every other evil thing happening in this country, and that is because it is just another facet of the same underlying forces at work; the corruption of our people.
