Slight of hand on your part. You know why it is part of the rest of the drug culture? Your DEA and Drug laws put it with them.

Really the embrace of marijuana by 60's leftist hippies and radicals had no part of creating the drug culture, I guess to you. Like it or not marijuana is an integral part of the drug culture, to deny that is to deny reality.

And the plain truth of it, it matters not anyway. It's still not very harmful. That is the only thing that matters. Anything is a 'feel based' arguement which of course is the standard liberal MO

LOL! Nothing "feel based" about it. It is the truth that marijuana is an integral part of the drug culture and to deny that is to use the standard liberal MO of denying reality.

Your vision of a typical pot smoker today is nothing like what they are. The 60s days are over. You need to get over it. I am in college and just came out of high school less than 3 years ago. Your typical pot smoker today is nothing like a hippie. Not even close.

Anyone who wants to make something illegal because of its association seemingly with other things, regardless of the merits of the item itself is a 'feel based' position. One example is guns. It is 'associated with crime and violence' so the soccer moms try to ban them, regardless of the fact that guns are rarely used to commit crimes. Another is marijuana, which is comparitively harmful, impossible to OD on, yet want to keep it illegal because it is 'associated with other drugs'. Hey, so is alcohol but I guess that matters not.
