cuttingras: why not just legalize marijuana and let the market take care of alcohol?

Hres what most of you people DON'T get -even if they legalize it,,, for your use,,, it still will NOT be accepted in the work place to have people stoned,, and operating any kind of equipment,, there will NOT be an employer anywhere hire you if you test positive for THC content in your system,, not to mention how'd you like to be around somebody operating a piece of machinery or operating a piece of equipment Stoned- high as a kite,, and possibly run over you or injure you,,, just because they were stoned,, I don't think so,,, its 1 thing to toke maybe once or twice a year,, but then those that think they have to have it several times a day,, and theres the problem,, and they will come up with all kinds of lame duck excuses to try to justify their reasoning,,, ain't happinin !!!!

My employer does not accept employees being drunk in the work place. Stands to reason that he wouldn't accept his employees being under the influence of any drug, legal or otherwise. Also, not all jobs require that you be sober in order to be successful. Rush Limbaugh kept on commentating high as a kite on oxy.

Its about time that marijuana should not only be legalized in California but in every State of the Union and also around the world. Remove all the politics involved in the legalization of marijuana.

The humble hemp plant has been created by God for a purpose, so it should not be treated as a crime if you purchase it, smoke it, or plant it. What should be criminalized is cocaine, heroin and crystal meth because it goes through a laboratory process which is done by a chemist, so its man made. Whatever is created by God is good, but the things created by man is not always good.

Some folks might even get the munchies and rev up the resaurtant business. Then the users would get fat and sign up for gyms and then they would want music and get ipods....for a guy who does not even smoke pot, I am feeling a sense of bliss.

While we are at it, let's legalize opium, and heroin. That should bring in another B.

Knowing that Californian's are genetically insane, they will simply expel the Federal government.

Some of the Repub blogger sound like that wacko nutjob on CNN, Lou Dobbs.

Because most conservatives are idiots.
