You don't have to smoke very much MJ to realize some parts of the government have no purpose.

So your problem is that people might actually ENJOY the stuff and have a good time? Damn...that's unbelievably sad.

I'd be embarrassed to even say something so silly.

Some believe ALL medicine should taste bad. Some people are wrong.

Screw the federal government do they even have a clue what they are taking about. I think they are the dangerous drug and they are dangerous to liberty and have no concept of balancing a budget.

I asked for something factual, NOT merely your opinion which is all you've supplied.

People don't get caught murdering someone while on pot, because pot doesn't control people into making bad mistakes.

And no, not everyone who smokes pot is nice and I'm not sure if pot could make someone 'nice'... makes you relaxed though. If you smoke a lot, there could be long term effects, but I wouldn't know... I'm not sure what you mean by "pot" being the result. Pot doesn't control someone though; man-made drugs can do that. If you have a negative mind set then you might have a bad experience with pot. Plus, you have to have self-control and good willpower if you don't want to trip while in public.

I was actually agreeing with you and trying to add a little humor.

And what's wrong with using it for recreation?

Why do you think the government should tell us what to eat, drink or smoke?

All drugs should be legal.
