glad I could bring a chuckle. Anyways, to actually share my views on Marijuana legalization. I think it should be legal for two reasons.
Reason one: It's Criminalization is disastrous. People who'se lives are ruined by criminal records just because they get high, the amount of money spent to try and eradicate it and the empowerment of criminals and the black market that deals in it are all huge problems which we wouldn't have to deal with if it were legal. Instead of a money sucking and crime producing black hole, legalized marijuana could bring in a lot of money for governments and provide a nice legal alternative to the harder drugs.
Reason two: I've yet to hear an explanation for how Marijuana is bad when compared to alcohol. You ever hear someone die from a Marijuana overdose? No, because it's not physically possible (I believe one test showed that you'd have to consume over 2 pounds worth of marijuana in one sitting to OD), but I've seen people taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. In terms of addiction, aggression and physical degradation, booze seems worse on every single count. Yes, Marijuana is damaging to your lungs. I won't deny that. But there are also numerous ways to ingest it. And don't you think fund raising bake sales would do a lot better if they could make that kind of brownie?
Ok there is a reason three as well: It's just so damn fun!
So in conclusion, I believe that governments should look to marijuana as a health issue as opposed to a legal one. They should regulate the industry, should promote vaporizor use (maybe with a rebate program), share some brownie recepies and produce some public add campaigns just like they do for drinking and driving.
And then the world would be a much better, happier, more laid back place.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
