Alright. Here we go prohibition didn't work. America had to return to alcohol as a legal drug. What was the result? Drug Addiction (Alcoholism), Organized Crime, Assault, Battery, Murder, Rape, Prostitution, Loss Of Productivity, Unemployment, Spouse Abuse, Child Abuse, Broken Homes, Runaway Children, Auto Accidents, Auto Fatalies, Increased Hospital Costs, Increased Taxes.

That's just from having Alcohol as a legal drug. Do you really want to compound these problems by making drugs legal?

None of that happened prior to prohibition then I assume and returning to prohibition would reduce all of those. And muslim countries, where alcohol is prohibited, with death as punishment in some cases have none of those things happening i guess.

And France, where alcohol consumption is far higher than ours and people start drinking far younger than here must have a society so awash in those problems that it is nearly anarchy.

And how did the legalization of alcohol, when prohibition pratically built the Mafia in America cause organized crime to increase?

How is the legalization of alcohol the reason for higher hosptial costs and higher taxes? I think BIG GOVERNMENT is the cause of those.

The highest level of unemployement in American history happened during prohibition. So, to use your twisted logic on this thread, the legalization of alcohol was GOOD for unemployement as it decreased after it was legalized.

Your logic is more flawed and unfounded in reality than Johnny Toke after a night with his four footer.

Just admit it, you are just "opposed" to MJ being legal and you care not one bit as to why you are opposed and need no reasons nor will listen to anything that might upset your world view. You've been spoonfed your entire life that MJ is wrong, bad for you and that only evil people and druggies use it so it has to remain illegal. The movie Reefer Madness is more full of lies than a Clinton campaign speech, yet you seem to have bought it hook line and sinker.

You still have yet to give any reasons that MJ should continue to be illegal, and you havent even attempted to justify your opposition to MJ legalization on a legal or constitutional basis.

How about also listing other things that are currently legal that should be illegal because they might contribute to the items listed above by you or because someone might use them and then drive.

Your "stoned driver" argument died along time ago and you have yet to come up with anything else.

And just why did America "have to" legalize alcohol? And please, be specific and do your darndest to not use anything that could also be used as a reason "America had to legalize pot" because you dont want to continue to defeat yourself.

notice how Dane, and Dougie from KC have been missing, I think this guy is a combo of both. A Dane/KC clone. Might as well ignore him he is not going to add anything or even look at the research I have provided him early in this thread......
