Re: Marijuana
I don't smoke pot. But it's the sensible and rational approach to take. Treat it as a health issue. That includes all drugs. I mean, as Ron Paul pointed out: we don't throw alcoholics in prison... unless, of course, they harm someone else.
Anyway, drugs, all drugs, are a health matter. And should be treated as such. It's a benevolent and sensible approach.
This "tough love" approach to drugs is a failure.... So the focus should be on education, treatment and prevention.
I mean, sugar is a drug. Do we throw people in prison for drinking Coca-Cola? No. What about nicotine? Probably the most harmful drug of all. Do we throw people in the slammer for smoking cigarettes? No.

Re: Marijuana
Everybody read ReeferMadness: Sex, Drugs, & Cheap Labor in the American Black Market by Eric Schlosser [2003]...Prett much sums up the history of Pot Prohibition in America(see I didn't use the "M" word)...The term "marijuana" was conveniently appropriated by people like Harry Anslinger(father of the DEA) & William Randolph Hearst(Mr. "Yellow Journalism") who had an axe to grind against Mexican immigrants...(Hearst probably also had considerable interests in the wood pulp based paper industry--via the DuPonts--& probably view hemp as a threat.)
(Later chapters also examine illegal immigration & the porn biz.)

The worst junkies on the Westside are the zombie housewives you see at Whole Foods who get their hooch from their head shrinker. If one ate their baby in front of me I wouldn't blink an eye.

Smoking has killed 20 million Americans prematurely since 1964. But we've a sensible approach: focus on prevention, treatment and most of all: education...

Re: Marijuana
Most definitely. As did DuPont view hemp as a threat to nylon....
Hearst's actions are some of my favorite conspiracy/corruption bits in American history. He'd have his papers print editorials about the "dangers of marijuana", then he'd have his bought congressmen read the editorials on the floor of congress--thereby entering them into the congressional record, and then Hearst's journalists would report about the congressional record.
