When I was in hign school back in the sixties they used to show us the classic film "Reefer Madness" which said that if we smoked pot we would become sex addicts or something like that so of course most of us had to try it.
In the land of the free and the home of the brave the government should let us make our own drug choices. If they want to educate us with info films like "Reefer Madness" that's fine. There are probably substances out there that should be controlled but they should always err on the side of education instead of jail time. Just make the education truthful.
Not everyone who drinks alcohol becomes a homeless drunk and not everyone who smokes tobacco dies of lung cancer. I suspect that most of the reasons for the opposition to drugs like marijuana is for moral reasons more than anything else.
