There are a LOT of those as well. So what? How would legalization impact you?

They'd be up in arms that the drug companies aren't isolating the beneficial compounds so they can have just the ones they need and not the other mind altering ones. The truth is, they want the mind altering ones and the "medicinal benefit" is just an excuse to get the high.
Your calling yourself conservative? Your acting like a nanny boy.

If you wanna talk about admitting real motivations, why not admit that you've been steamrolled by the propaganda machine. Marijuana is far safer than many or most legal drugs.
And you could make the same claim for cocaine as well. Many people thought it had curative effects while it muddled your frontal lobe but in the end it was all about the mind altering.

Give yourselves a shake if you expect anyone to believe you need to toke up whenever because you're fighting depression or enduring the pain of a cancer and are not tolerant of other drugs. Those would represent one iota of the actual numbers of you who desire to just get high.

Please also can the bullcrap of no one killing anyone while high behind the wheel of a car as that's patently false as well. Impaired judgement is impaired judgement regardless of whether you're sniffing glue or binging on scotch.
