But, can I ask you; why should we actually bother to legalize weed? There are plenty of people who can say why not. But let's hear someone who says why we should. Give us some good reasons.
"grog" yes if we are talking about miller lite; but microbrew beer, liquor/wine no.

I would think that is a little harsh to say tobacco is for stupid people. With this logic the same could go for those who lots of eat deep fried food or heavy deserts regularly. The same as to drink until intoxication.

I think my post on page one summed up my opinion on this for legalization, but many others in this thread summed it up better than me... especially on the arguments of prohibition.

Look at the costs of medical marijuana as well. Take this burden out of the health care system.

The question is really how is this different than alcohol?
There are no studies I have read here or anywhere that can prove without a shadow of a doubt that the physical or mental issues associated with the body outweigh the issues with tobacco or alcohol.

Sure there would be those who would abuse it, but the same can be done with alcohol.
