"There are no marijuana addicts." I disagree, it's psychology addicting. I know about 10 kids who have flunk out of college, they talk how they have gotten high for the last oh 137 days, how the first thing they do when they wake up is take a bong hit. How when they were in college they got high before EVERY class, everything they do is about getting high and they all say they can't wait until it's legal

I think the only thing I'm not capable of understanding is drug use itself, and the appeal of it. On the contrary, I see legalization or decriminalization or end the drug war advocates pushing ideas they clearly don't understand. Even pushing ideas that contradict with other ideas they hold. I really think people don't understand what they want and haven't thought too much about it. For example, calling addiction to legal painkillers a problem when that's what they seem to be wanting for all other illegal drugs is a contradiction. Holding up Portugal as an ideal of decriminalization when they clearly don't understand what Portugal's drug laws really are, or even be willing to read they are. en.wikipedia.org *"The* *cultivation of cannabis*, even if in very small-scale home grow for personal use only, can legally be prosecuted." ... "In Portugal, recreational use of cannabis is forbidden by law; also the medicinal use is not yet officially recognized (there are a debate and some law projects in the Portuguese Parliament)." That's Portugal today and I don't think it's what any anti-drug war American wants. They don't even have medical marijuana there yet.
