Just saying…

I'd like to respond to Allen's diabolical advocacy:

The prohibition on cannabis and its derivatives descends from the same politically turbulent time as the prohibition on Alcohol (why did those 20's roar? Industrialism, Booze and Drugs, of course!).

Given that we allow drinking (the excesses of which kill), driving ("~") and sex ("~") above certain ages in North America, it's unlikely the lethality of weed that keeps it from the friendly side of the law books. It's class warfare, latent racism (weed was painted as a drug of for "coloureds" – jazz-era -, and ultra-right politicians have simply learned since then not to argue openly on matters of race).

But look at the camoflage on Will – pseudo-corporate; the scruff makes him look like a creative type in the middle of a campaign for a cellphone provider, the case no doubt full of flash drives and printouts. And he looks safe.

Mind you, Mer, I think I prefer the argument you make and the way you make it (not that I assume we agree) to threadjacking.

But I appreciate the argument Allen's raised.

I merely think the war on soft drugs is yet another war the USA doesn't need, unless the only growth industry is to be prisons.

Now, while I don't disagree with you, taking up the mantle of 'Devil's Advocate' one would say that the reason that weed is not as lethal as the more legal alcohol is because weed is NOT legal and as easily obtained.

Of course we know why alcohol is legal while weed isn't, there aren't any big weed lobbyists trying to bribe politicians. Of course, now-a-days there are more, and as such we see an increase of legislation meant to decrease the illegality of the product.

And don't even get me started on the swastika and how horribly ironic it is that it means peace, is crossed out, and that is in fact the MESSAGE of the racist organizations (that if their race were completely in power there would be peace). I'm simply not going to do it!
