"Well after the example our current president has set - growing up doing drugs and alcohol and desertion - poor little gore would not be a potential candidate for president. At least this father is not trying to cover it up!

Bull! Al is running around like a chicken with his head cut off, trying to convince the media and everyone else that this is just a 'private family matter'.

Riiiight. Just like President Bush's daughters clubbing was a 'private' matter (splashed all over the headlines), or the sexual preference of V.P. Cheney's daughter was a 'private' matter (spread all over the headlines). Little Al was just following in the footsteps of his father's idol, Bill "I didn't inhale" Clinton.

And this load of bull that he's now "in treatment". Time to close that avenue for the rich/famous/powerful. Make him do hard time in a desert jailhouse, the little felon. Why should he get out of it be 'going to treatment'?

Marijuana only became illegal after the CIA's MKULTRA project ended ( if it did end ) and after the discovery that Marijuana helped the test subjects not succumb to the mind control effects as easily. This is the main reason the Government Fears the use of Marijuana - My god - a country of free thinkers - what would the country be like if that happened!

The real reason marijuana is not legal is because then the police would lose one of their most effective "probable cause" tools. The police don't care about people using it, they just love the idea that they can stop just about any young person on the street and it's at least a 50/50 chance they have weed on them. You may as well make tobacco illegal too....

Real harm to society are the prescription medications handed out by the bucket-full by our esteemed medical professionals.....who are mostly just high class pushers.....When was the last time you heard of a weed smoker strangling his wife and kids?

How absolutely true, I seem to remember a recent radio station had a water drinking contest, where one of the contestants died from a water overdose. It can and has happened.

brianbwb,

"a very good revenue source for taxes that could very well fund the repair of our education and health care services."

No argrument from me; if it were legal, it would clear up alot of prison space for real criminals also.

to AJMarine1,

As for tree bark, the aspirin industry would be the new coke dealers, as aspirin comes from willow bark.

A blister pack of Bayer could set you back $100 per gram, Doctors worldwide would have to practice their art in prisons, and of course Bush's daughters will be the "blister pack girls" supplying to the entire legislative branch.

At any rate with the anti environmentalists now in power, we may not have trees to worry about soon anyway...
