We will disagree. I think alcohol is responsible for amazing amount of violence- but I think prohibition of even alcohol, would be a mistake. Pot is mild in comparison, and seems to have great benefits to mellow people out. I think more mellow people would be a great thing for this country. But obviously, people differ in what they want, and how they want to achieve what they want.

"Marijuana is the country's third most popular drug, after alcohol and tobacco (both legal drugs). According to federal surveys, 70 million Americans have used marijuana, and 17 million are using it on a monthly basis now.

The dangerous effects of marijuana are largely myth. Although the government has long opposed marijuana legalization in the name of public health and safety, every independent commission appointed to evaluate the dangers of marijuana use has found this claim to be unsubstantiated: "

"Tobacco use has worse health consequences than marijuana use, and is more addictive - resulting in greater compulsive (hence health-endangering) use. There are 15 million alcoholics in this country whose lives are in disarray. Alcohol results in 22,000 deaths a year as a result of drunk driving alone. Yet neither of these drugs is prohibited by law."
