Legalization: A Debate(oop)

The government does not realize that keeping marajuana illegal is a mistake. It can be used, not only to smoke for pleasure, but to heal. My grandmother has glaucoma, and I make it my duty to buy her an ounce per week, so she can heal her pain from her sickness. She feels so much better having smoked it, and so do I. It really blows because I shouldn't have to go to an underground dealer to buy it for her. I should be able to go to a pharmacy. There is not one proven death by smoking marajuana. I'm extremely angry at the government, so just smoke your blunts and bongs all you want. screw them.

There is no question, regardless of which side you are on, that we are losing the war on drugs. In fact one might look at drugs as the new Vietnam. We spend ten billion a year (and are failing) doing what we spent five billion on (and failed) only a few years ago. The Marshall book presents some level headed insights onthis topic. Better material is published by the Drug Policy Foundation (who's motto is "Drugs are bad ... but the war on drugs is worse"). However, this book is a noble effort and should be read to look at one of the most bizarre activities of the 20th century
