The poll speaks for itself, on a site full of righties we are in full agreement pot should at a minimum be decriminalized. The only people still fighting this must have never tried it......
I could smoke pot till im blue in the face and i would never die of "marijuana poisioning," as i would pass out long before that, you dont black out off weed, and most specifically marijuana doesnt cause people to get aggressive..... in fact it has the opposite effect......
If you go down the list of harmful health effects weed is not even in the same league as alcohol.....
And on top of everything, fighting the "war" against weed costs billions of dollars and puts 100's of thousands of people in prison, while it empowers drug dealers, (because they can sell it for a markup) and ruins regular peoples lives, as the unfortunate people who are caught with it get brandished with the proverbial "Scarlet letter" whereby they have a criminal charge for the rest of the life that fucks their chances of getting a job.....
As a libertarian im in favour of legalizing all drugs but it just seems goddamn retarded to keep on prosecuting people for weed.....

The "well regulated militia" clause. If it doesn't mean anything, why is that qualifying clause there, whereas there aren't any qualifying clauses in the First Amendment?
Despite that, we have libel laws, for far far less reason than we have regulation of firearms. Bill Buckley used them regularly to intimidate his critics into silence. For some reason, I've never seen anyone on this forum complain about that. Can't imagine why.
Well that's da gubbermint for ya.
I personally have no use for weed though it does appear to have beneficial effects for those on chemotherapy.
Heroin use up in Chicago among teens. Pain killers are replacing pot.
