That's fine, if that's what you believe, I've seen way to much of the results of illegal drug use though and would never support it. My deadheads comment was not aimed at that panel of "bluebloods", but pointed more towards people who are pushing legalization. They probably smoke it too. Bill Buckley supported legalising it, but who can be right all the time?

>>Ok now go do some more research and find some stats that are not almost 20 years old and you'll find that it's the prescription drugs that are the problem today. I still don't really understand your point though - are you saying that marijuana should remain illegal because it impairs your senses?

>Okay, enough you two. Anything that distorts conciousness, no matter how little, at some point in time, while using it, is a detriment to normal function. In some situations death may occur. Humans evolved to operate without the use of reality distorting material. Undrugged is normal. (and that includes booze)

...that doesn't have anything to do with if it should be legalized or not.
