People are kidding themselves if they actually believe Marijuana will ever be legalized on a federal basis. There is too much money involved for the federal government which is the ultimate organized crime syndicate. Your own CIA decides who the winners and losers will be in the drug trade. What do you really think we are doing in Afghanistan still?

Just like controversial gay rights, or controversial atheists free speech...

The DEA can ban whatever they want, a majority of their budget is appropriated for marijuana, and once that gets legalized they'll be about as useless and budgetless as the FDA.
Highly addictive, but nothing wrong with it.

Can cause hallucinations, but nothing wrong with it.

Can cause delusions and tremors but nothing wrong with it.

Seriously??

There are lots of legal drugs which do exactly that.

The point is there's no legal basis, in my opinion, for making an ingestable substance illegal. If I can't use my own body how I want, how can I seriously call myself free?

So you want the freedom to wreck your body but you want society to piece you back together.

Are you asking me if that's what I think or are you telling me?

Either way: no.

Really? That's what you're going with?

Should this also be legal?
