san francisco - the snitch - marijuana advocate 'flabbergasted' at dea raid of s.f. Dispensary
o rly? We already know obama says one thing and does another.
Not lets think about why pot should be legalized:
Prohibition of alcohol didnt curb usage, it just lead to a less safe product with an artificially high price
that artificially high price makes it a place for gangs to profit, hence mexico drug cartels
the violence from those cartels is directly related to our consumption
the war on drugs has cost nearly 1/2 trillion dollars since it started, yet marijuana use has not gone down
innocent otherwise law abiding citizens goto jail and ruin their lives because of an illegal plant
its an attack on civil liberty
its less harmful than both alcohol and cigarettes, not to mention 'pharmacuticals' like ssri's
it fuels the corrupt prison system in america, we have the highest incariration rate in the world
not to mention the huge economic impacts, marijuana legailzation would be a net gain of >$25 billion a year for the economy
addiction to anything is a social medical problem, not a criminal one
society as a whole? Give me a break. If your out to benefit society, it would make more sense to outlaw alcohol and cigarettes and you know it.
