I'm on your side. I think the criminalization of pot is stupid, and its origin was based on lies and racism.

That doesn't however negate the fact that pot is a drug, and can be detrimental to users who need to operate stuff like cars, much in the same way as alcohol. Pot doesn't make users beligerant like alcohol, so IMHO, it's a great deal safer. It should however be regulated much in the same way alcohol is: age restrictions and equipment use restrictions (ie, you can't drive, operate a forklift etc).

I still stand by my statements about oregano and catnip however. That analogy is bogus, and doesn't bring your point across at all.
