Hannukah Harry just made of the best posts I have ever read. The problem with so many people now is that they look at things from the "why should they be legal" standpoint. One should never look at anything from that standpoint. Drug laws waste money, prosecuting/jailing people who essentially are not harming anyone but themselves is completely ridiculous. And as far as health benefits go, marijuana can treat glaucoma and can be used to help a person regain their appetite after surgery, cancer treatment, or disease.
Take a look at some of the perscription drug commercials that they put on TV. The ones with the list of "potential side effects" that about 5 times out of 10 include "serious illness or death". Why does no one say anything about them? Oh yeah, because the companies that own them make campaign contributions.
