19. Interesting
Are you aware you say that when

Cannabis can be used to make medicine, bio-diesel, paper, plastics, and food, just to name the top five? It grows cheaply, almost everywhere, and it doesn't drain the soil.

Is it AT ALL wise to ignore these facts? During a time when we face pain meds that turn out to be more "harmful then previously known" almost weekly, our stress levels are known to be killing us, currently for a very good reason, oil is running out, global warming and pollution issues may already be compromising the food supplies (fishing industry all round, drought, chemicals such as pesticides and heavy metals in drinking water), and not only that, but couldn't our country use some new, green, industries??

Add to that how many people are in prison because of that dope. JUST because of that. Do you know? Do you care?

And you want to sit there and pretend dope is a non issue? I have to disagree, and my reasons have absolutely nothing to do with libertarians, though many (most?) agree with these statements. That was a snide thing you said about a tragically misunderstood issue.
