Pot is not a drug, it is an herb.

It is used in chicken batter.

Drugs are made in labs.

Can you prove that Holland has had a "massive explosion in crime"? Source? Cannabis makes people non-violent if anything will, so how is that bad? How many murders have there been in the coffee shops of Holland? Cannabis can treat 124 medical conditions rxmarijuana dot com/ Why is that bad?

Mental illness can be very well controlled by cannabis, making us all safer. It takes the anger out of people if anything can.

So yes, it would definitely harm everyone, and the government has a constitutional mandate to keep that from happening.

Post valid links which specifically attribute these issues to marijuana use, then. So far, you've tried to use sources which clearly state that the results are inconclusive as your "proof".

I favor changing the sentencing guidelines since the prison overcrowding argument is the only valid pro-pot argument.
Make it tougher with hard labor.

Most use alcohol, tobacco, pills, caffeine, etc before cannabis. "Marijuana" (foreign slang) isn't as harmful as alcohol. 0 deaths in over 1 billion users since our earliest recorded history. Please see Granny Storm Crow's list for about 1,200 studies not biased by money.

You know rehab clinics that want to make billions treating fake or non-fatal addictions are not people that tell the truth or care about others.

The info I posted about that rehab clinic still stands, no matter how much others want to spin in.

We have enough legal intoxicants. We don't need anymore.

And I will bash burnouts and their ridiculous penchant for wrecking their health.

Apples and avocados.
You can grow up to five plants, and the initial intent was to sell small amounts out of home grown plants, but of course it did not work out that way. Unintended consequences, which is exactly what US will also experience. Holland government said more than just that they would not prosecute, they said you can sell it if you applied for a government license. It is essentially legal, which sets Holland apart from other EU countries which have simply decriminalized pot.
