Ron Paul, Barney Frank to introduce bill calling for legalization of marijuana.

I'm completely against drugs of any kind used for getting high or whatever. Hell, I'm against getting drunk as well, but that's another story.

I see. Well, to each his own. Was just curious, though that doesn't answer my question...

Well that reason and the large amounts of tax revenue that would be available. I bet that some companies would add things to it, but there would definitely be an "organic" type of weed somewhere out there.
@Your last point, there is always someone out there that tries to do that -.-

There should be. It's working well in the Netherlands I believe. Most/all of the weed is just straight from the plant, which is good. And you know you're getting the strain you pay for. No shadiness involved, thankfully.

I just have a feeling this is going to push society further down the pomegranatepipes, more than it already is. Booze already has its.. affects, and cigs reap lives like the reaper himself. But.. Weed is different, it doesn't kill directly, if at all. It simplifies. It won't kill anyone directly, but it'll evoke a slow dumbness over society.

It's weird to explain but I think it's like, the people who are idiots high and can't handle themselves properly (mostly young adults/teens) will find some other outlet or will do it anyway, legal or not. Just because it's legal doesn't mean enough people will actively engage in it, either. Most of us "regular" tokers are fine. Educated, ambitious...y'know, normal.

EDIT: Erebus brings up the best point, really: If we legalize, other countries will likely follow suit soon and hopefully that will put a damper on the huge crime problem along the border and within Mexico.
