Prohibition is nothing to do with the health and safety of the citizens, it is about money and power. Does anyone seriously believe that Anhueser-Busch (good Belgian company that it is) wants to compete with home grown pot? Legal authorities get their budgets and their asset seizures. Government price support to organized crime. Our drug czars are liars, nothing but fountains of mis-information. Alcohol is way more dangerous to the citizenry than pot, but pot is way more dangerous to the prohibitionists than alcohol. Money grubbing pukes is what they are.

For each person who willingly admits using illegal substances there are probably 5-10 more not willing to do so.

The Government''s role is NOT to tell us what we can or cannot consume.
If people like sometime it will be made against the law so trillions of dollars can be made.
People are being made criminal and people are being murdered. It it was not against the law, there would be no money in it. thus much lower crime.
Prohibition baby, all over Gangs and murder.
Thanks Uncle Sam
