And then - why does our _federal government_ make it illegal when there's absolutely no CONSTITUTIONAL basis - in the eyes of a reasonable man - for our Federal government to do so?
In fact, I'll make my point this way: show me where, in the U.S. Constitution - as read by the average reasonable man - it gives our Federal Government the power to make pot illegal (for the sake of argument: in the case of someone growing it on their own property for distribution (whether they charge or not) to their neighbor as an end-user), and and I'll give you $100.

You know that you got me here?
I was, up until this moment, totally concerned, that you can get weed in the States in the pharmacy if you have a doctor's prescription - as in the most of the world. Like for the geronts that have Alzheimer or Parkinson or whatever.
As I mentioned I don't care if that's legal or illegal, healthy or unhealthy.
The only point of mine is : drugs are very exciting but dangerous thing and it takes an intense self control to keep the true balance between the fun and trouble.
But they will always be around, mankind needs its opium, anyone denying it would be insane.
The problem I have is, as far as it's tough banned to advertise cigarettes or alcohol, if someone smokes cigarettes or drinks it's a big deal and many yuppies almost don't even talk to you anymore.
But - now there is an alternative, tolerated, accepted, even promoted in mass media, with 2000 + reasons to abuse the shit beeing confirmed by almost EVERY single consumer I know.
Although, and it's again ONLY my personal experience - it's ALSO NOT OK to smoke this because it can as well seriously wash your brains out.
That's my point.
