Weed is so much better than alchohol. You don't see people being violent to eachother when smoking pot.
If illegal drugs were legalized tonight, in 2 weeks everyone of our major banks would have to shut their doors. They rely on that daily infusion of cash from the sellers. The US Goverment couldn't come up with enough $$ to bail them out. Then we'd see who really owns us.
It's very simple, if the government were to legalize drugs & prostitution and start the FairTax (which brings an end to the IRS), they wouldn't have much of a reason to get into our personal business, now would they. All that simply takes away too much power.

Reading some of the posts on this subject I can see some of the reasons our country is so screwed up. Canibus people is not a narcotic by specific definition only by political definition and HEMP has no "drug" (as in smoke it to get a buzz) value. Putting hemp in the 'drug" catagory is the same as putting water in the alcohol catagory simply because it is a liquid. That is an over exaggeration but I make my point.
