<<I think hemp & marijuana are totally separate issues. >>
Think that all you want. All of the people I know who support legalization of marijuana support this issue. Just coincidence I guess. I repeat, ever heard of gateways?

<<We are loading up our prisons with harmless potheads, who pose much less danger to society than abusers of alcohol, which is a legal drug -- now. And violent criminals get paroled sooner...!!>>

Why do people who want to minimize the effects of pot on the users of pot, always want to compare it with the worst possible dreggs of society

Oh yeah, so they can do what you did, submit the pretense of "Harmless potheads."

<<Harmless potheads>>

Yeah, we are letting murders out of prison while harmless pedophiles just looking for some fun with a friend on a Saturday night are being locked up. (sarcasm)

Gateway, gatekeeper.. whatever.

Although I would be for decriminalization of marijuana, I don't think it will impact the prison system much. The prisons are filling up because of crack, cocaine, and other drugs. As for harmless potheads, these people will still have to face drug testing when they seek employment and have difficulty getting jobs. I guess many of them will find work in the corner reefer store so long as they agree not to cop some roaches.
