If the government were to sell it themselves and tax the hell out of it along with other drugs. I see no problem with it, I mean they let out tons of other drugs that are even more harmful just look in the averages person's medicine cabinet and read the side affects.

On the other hand, I do not like the thought on how (some)people become dependant on it. In my experience the people that smoke it do it because they are depressed(or so they claim) they can't handle life so they rely on a mind altering substance to handle the world. I do not like the concept of a group of people reliant on a chemical that they really don't need to survive. If people are dependant on something it makes them easier to control.

How do you feel about the fact that many people become addicted to their prescribed medication to handle life. Is that really any better? Are people taking other anti-depressants any more difficult to control?

I am saying from a legal stand point, they have no reason not to. That is the wallet speaking.

 

Now my brain says otherwie, I would much prefer we(as a peoples) would learn that you can improve your health with activity and the proper diet. I do not like the concept of people taking over and under the counter drugs to fix their issues. If you just read the side effects you know it's not worth it. Now if you need to take a medication to stay alive I am all for that, but their are other healthier means for most illnesses)
