From a purely logical standpoint, it makes the most sense to legalize pot:<br />

The criminalization of marijuana has been criminal... putting 18yo's in jail where they are subjected to hardcore criminals and raped - screwing them up in ways never imagined in anyone's pipe dreams.<br />
<br />
And why? ...because two industries wanted to keep hemp off the market. The pulp and paper industry and Dow Corning's plastic rope folks didn't want or couldn't compete with the renewable resource that hemp is. Instead, they clear cut forests and trashed human lives in the legal system so those…

And why? ...because two industries wanted to keep hemp off the market. The pulp and paper industry and Dow Corning's plastic rope folks didn't want or couldn't compete with the renewable resource that hemp is. Instead, they clear cut forests and trashed human lives in the legal system so those greed mongers could get fatter. They produced propaganda like "Reefer Madness", etc., to plant doubt and pit people against one another on the subject, thus turning the light away from their motives and onto the unfortunate ones who got caught up in a corrupt system. Ahh-h-h, the comforts of capitalism...<br />
<br />
It matters not whether people smoke a toke or not. The damage done by the criminalization of marijuana has been the real crime.<br />
<br />
We know the criminalization of marijuana is not because the big brothers are looking out for our good... but its up to us to reverse that ridiculousness anyway.<br />
<br />
I do think that mind altering substances are intended for adults... not for the developing minds and bodies of children. I have recently been caring for someone whose older siblings started him toking when he was 8. So at 17 he was the space cadet of all space cadets. It has been a real challenge to assist him toward a balanced state and help him catch up on things that he was too spaced out to notice... but gotta say in his defense, he's mellow and even loving toward those who aren't.<br />

I also no longer indulge but I do think it should be legalized. especially here in Ca where our crumbling economy could get a major boost if it was taxed and sold like beer and cigarettes. Just my take...but billions of dollars...yeah we could use that right about now.

I no longer indulge. I do think it should be legal for those that choose to.
