"In the poll, only 33 percent favor legalization while 55 percent oppose it. People under 30 were the only age group favoring legalization (54 percent) and opposition increased with age, topping out at 73 percent of those 65 and older. Opposition also was prevalent among women, Republicans and those in rural and suburban areas."

First we have to get salt banned, then we can focus on legalizing the pot.

You know, I find it funny that the same people that say no to pot, would throw a fit if you tried to make alchohol and cigs illegal.

I don't smoke the stuff, but I sure would like to see that multi-billion dollar industry come above-board.

Not to mention the fact that we're spending a crap-ton to prosecute and incarcerate many people whose only crime is possessing the stuff...

It'll be legal eventually. I think now'd be a mighty fine time to just get it over with.

It's like soma in Brave New World. Life sucks unbearably, so give the people drugs to keep them sedated and listless. As Huxley explains - "All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects."

Which they do anyway. Often. Whether those drugs come in bottle or a rolling paper. Whether they're from the pharmacy or the guy down the street with the pit bulls and the unkempt lawn.
