That's why America will never live up to it's motto:"The land of the free" because we are too worried about what the next man is doing. I say we need to install a "Common Sense" law nation wide. I went to California and under thier proposition 215, I was able to work as a trimmer for Medical Marijuana Pateints. Seeing the elder and sick be able to enjoy thier hard work in thier own home made me have more hope for what America could be. I can't stand hypocritical opinonated folks somtime. We all want to banner under freedom, but control what the next man does. I agree we should mind our business, whoop your kids asses, and live your life. Shit... why don't we focus more on family values. It's kids that grow up in abusive and single parent households that turn to gangs, or even bigger things like rapist,serial killers, pedophiles, molesters, school shooters. 95% of the time, it's never marijuana related. Worry about shit that matters, I say. It's 2009 and people are still stuck on stupid.

...yet cigarettes - 2nd (I think) most addictive drug out there...are legal. There are far to many inconsistencies these days - I don't particularly agree with your sentiments - there's just some stupidly dangerous shit that should never have been made (Heroin for one - far to addictive and volitile), but we do need some degree of choice as our human rights are infringed otherwise.

Alright, there's the problem with that line of thinking. About 10 years ago there was a young lady that worked for me who had a younger sister that was about 14 years old. Just so happens she fell into a crowd of recreational drug users and she tried heroin and ODed. Luckily she didn't die, but was resesutated and hospitalized. She wasn't a legal adult, just some kid that succumbed to peer pressure worse than a puff on a cigarette. There was a problem in my area a couple of years ago with stuff known around the schoolyards as "Cheese" which was made from heroin and cold medicine. Killed lots of young kids that it was sold to on the schoolground. The "anything goes" way of thinking just doesn't make sense to me when you think of kids. The youngest reported was a 4th grader all the way up to high schoolers.

put an age requirement on drugs like there is one for alcohol and cigarettes, get the rec drugs from a pharmacist

And finally: The Mexican President told President Obama that he should take a close look at legalizing marijuana. Most of the money going to Mexican cartels comes from pot smuggling. just like liquor sales during prohibition. And we all know that history.

If you've noticed before, the powers that be almost always let certain problems get out of control before they jump in and 'save' the people with a 'solution' to the problem. Same with weed.
They've been waiting a long time and now they're finally starting to show the public citizens why weed should be decriminalized/legalized, because of the 'problems' with taxpayer's $ that it creates if it's not. If other 'chemicals/drugs for the brain' like alchohol and ciggies are legal then weed finally will be too, sooner or later. Just give them a little bit more time.
I watched this on CNBC the other night. Good shit. 4 parts.
