Anyone who supports drug prohibition inevitably has even bigger skeletons in their own closet or other vices that are just as potentially bad. Guns, drugs, sex, pick your poison. Nobody is a saint, everybody's got something. I just think it's so funny how you can't legally own marijuana, possibly the safest drug known to man, in this country, but if you want an assault rifle and bags of ammo, well we'll just hand those out to anyone over 18 who has the cash at Wal-Mart. I was just at a gun range today, 5 mins and a drivers license and you've got a gun in your hand and you're shooting. Why dont we just do the same thing with drugs, require some sort of 1 hour instructional course and give responsible people a license to use. If you demonstrate that you're not responsible, you lose the privilege. I don't support extreme gun control OR prohibition for largely the same reasons: yes they can be dangerous but this was supposed to be a free country and they can both be used responsibly without causing any harm to anyone.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
