As I understand it, back when the government made it illegal to smoke/possess, it was seen as 'the poor man's alcohol' and so it was considered by many to have been a discriminatory decision.
I don't use the stuff myself anymore, but I sure as hell don't understand why if the government is going to decriminalize it, they want to leave the market uncontested for the biker gangs. Maybe it's true that they have friends in high places (pardon the pun)...
