      Just about everything listed there that's bad about pot can be said for alcohol. I see no justification for promoting one as a magical elixir and demonizing the other. The only reason pot is illegal is our willingness to go with the status quo and the negative connotation around it. I don't see how there is a case to keep it illegal.

        Nobody is promoting booze is a magical elixir it's just that it can't be stopped now. If the idea is to have more people fucked up more of the time then you might as well legalize everything. if I owned a factory I'd be happy to let my workers snort coke all day. dexedrine? Bring it on.

          Coke is too short acting. I'd give them all 7 times the recommended dose of adderall

              Booze has been marketed as a "magic elixer" for 1000's of years.

                          But what is the cause and what is the effect?

                          Is the Pot responsible for making them 'stupid' or do 'stupid' kids tend to look for outlets such as Pot.

                          I continue to believe the legalization of Pot, or not, has its roots in Politics, rather than Medicine, etc. For one, I am not sure that legalizing ALL drugs will create more addicts that we already have. More casual users, perhaps, but so what?

                          To me, the article was unclear as to WHO was smoking the Pot - the two legged 'victim' or the four legged 'victim'.

                          Any way, Pot should be 100% legal, IMHO.

                          I am willing to reconsider my stance on all other drugs.

                          The War on Drugs. The War on Poverty. The War on Terrorism. Which one is working?

                            Well I assume you mean beer because boos commercials are banned. But besides advertising beer as a refreshing beverage what elixirlike benefits are listed?

                            I just see no logical reason to ban weed but keep alcohol legal. The only difference is one is a huge industry with a huge lobby, and the other was made illegal by Retarded laws forever ago.

                            Weed will be legal everywhere eventually though. Just like gay marriage

                                  DO NOT miss an opportunity to see Robert Earl - especially in a place with lots of beer taps.

                                  Peter Tosh, original member of Bob Marley's Wailers - also with Bunny Livingstone.

                                      I don't smoke either. But then again I don't really drink.

                                      I've got a type of asthma though, so I generally avoid smoke

                                        John I think it's a little of both. smoking pot and getting drunk both make you stupid , but no matter what your vice I think the proponents tend to affect certain stereotypes. (foster Brooks? Cheech and Chong?) whether it's the loud braying drunk at the yacht club or the slack jaw weed head. like I've said before it's annoying rehearsing with pot smokers and drunks because it's almost a guarantee that whenever you figure it out will be forgotten by the next rehearsal. I don't know who drinks or smokes or whatever on this board, except that the wood man is reasonably straight as is his nemesis Cal.

                                        Lots of people incorporate differing social Crusades into the fabric of their lives. it's just hard to take weed all that seriously.

                                          I do neither although when I was younger I'd imbibe in weed. I always hated drinking though. If I have three beers a year that woukd be a lot.

                                          Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...
