True but I think imo if legalized it would be used for the smoking and getting high much more than its other uses.

Right. Anti-drug / hard on crime stance is a conservative position, and pro-legalization is a liberal position. Let's not pretend it is the other way round.

You're just scared. You have no basis for what you're saying beyond fear. You ever visited Amsterdam? I'm guessing you haven't.

Where does Jesus Christ figure in this anyway?

Cannabis is a hell of a lot safer than alcohol, or legally prescribed opiates. Not to mention it has no where near the addictive qualities that those 2 have. Furthermore, why not address the growing epidemic of opiate addiction, be it legal prescription opiates, or their illegal cousin heroin which indeed are harmful, and having the potential to destroy ones life. No, let's just harp on those "evil potheads" and waste more taxpayers money on trying to irradicate a plant that is proven to be useful medicinally, and industrially because YOU don't like it!!!!

I don't think the majority of the grass roots folk understand this or the values.

Those geezers sitting around at rallies with tea bags dangling from their hats, have no idea that the big tea party money seeks to eliminate Social Security and Medicare.
