It's comparable to a one car wreck with fatal ejections from the vehicle. Good thing Nem is working bloody body detail tonight. I only have to pick up the car parts.

Coelentrate- Yah you did. I normally would have taken the advice but the vodka was talking that night. 
Dimitri- So you would basically have it treated like alchohol then? People who are weak enough to get addicted have bigger demons to fight than being a slave to pot.

Yes, let's legalize cannabis for responsible adults to buy in a controlled manner. Hell, even put health warnings (and age warnings) on the packaging as is done for cigarettes and alcohol - that way everyone can be fully informed of the facts and allowed to make up their own mind. As for the 10% tax cut... well, legalizing the plant will dramatically reduce the cost of the substance, since not only will it be grown more freely, cultivators and suppliers will no longer have to take such risks with the law which pushes up the price of the product. In short, if weed were successfully legalized, governments would eventually be able to take a much fatter tax cut than 10% on weed, with the product retailing for less (or no or little more) than its black market price. The economic benefits would go without saying - and would be more than welcome in today's economic climate.
However, this doesn't look likely in the foreseeable future - at least not in my country. In the UK, Prime Minister Gordon Brown plans early next year to raise the maximum penalty for simple cannabis possession from 2 years to 5 - in defiance of the scientific evidence provided by his own research body. Paranoia over 'lethal' skunk (as Mr Brown himself misleadingly described it) has continued to mask the hypocrisy of permitting alcohol and tobacco but prohibiting cannabis (which has been shown to be generally less addictive, dangerous and toxic than the legal drugs - even in its strong 'skunk' form).
The nanny state is still strong. As far as governments' attitudes towards certain recreational substances is concerned (even some less addictive ones - pot is not heroin), no one is a mature enough adult to make the decision for themselves whether to use or not. We are all like little children who need to be guided by the hand and taken away from danger (by force if necessary) 'for our own good'.
