Plain and simple pot is illegal but by the same token I would much rather ride in an MV where the guy had smoked a joint that the same ride where the guy has a 6 pack into him. Statistics support that pot does not increase the crime rate. people don't break into houses cause they ran out of weed.
It will became legal at some point I hope cause I want my goverment chase hard drug dealers (not users) and thendeal with them harshly.
I was a product of the 70's and tried marijauna, but it was the booze that many times almost cost me my life.
Alcohol has caused more deaths due to one reason or another than weed ever will.
As a side note next time I find weedgrowing in the woods I will turn them in again and if they were to threaten me I think my posse, ( thats street talk) LOL might wander back for a visit.
If you guys do find weed in the woodsbe careful. Their favorite practice is hanging treble hooks at face level.
