<<Personal Responsibility is a figment of your imagination.>> If thats the case it is with guns then too <<How would you suggest we instill personal responsibility to those who already have passed on this character item?>> Oh come on! I've smoked dope and I'm of no less character than you. In fact I probably have greater character than ANY of the sell outs in Washington and those @$$HOLES make the laws! <<If we allow the masses to be high everyday, everywhere, whenever they feel the urge.....there won't be enough newsprint to cover all the shootings>> I don't advise anyone do this everywhere or whenever. We sure do seem to make beer available at all times of the day though and I think anyone who knows would say liquor is FAR WORSE. In addition there is no evidence to link the smoking of s ingle doobie to shooting people. In fact I would bet my unit (and its a nice one) that 2am crime and death would drop a lot!

Although as conservative as many I have to agree with the wild man on this one. If people want to smoke it they will. As we created the mob with prohibition we have created the Cartel's with our drug laws. Legalize it, regulate when and where and tax the shit out of it. I have a feeling alcohol has killed far more people then left handed cigs ever will so it isn't a public safety deal keeping it illegal. They are so irrational about this you can't grow industrial hemp which used to be a great cash crop in WI. Craziest part of that is it would ruin any good stuff it cross pollinated with as you could smoke a ton of industrial and get nothing more then carbon monoxide poisoning. Nuts the way we deal with it now IMO.
