more like No thanks to your not well informed opinion. Is it legal for an airline pilot to fly while drunk? is alcohol legal? legalizing pot DEFINATELY does not mean it will be legal for your pilot to fly stoned, use some common sense.

what is not right is you having an opinion on a naturally grown plant and wanted your opinion enforced on everyone else.

and the reasons it's illegal are probably not anywhere close to the reasons YOU THINK it's illegal.

Not well informed? Tell me - what was the reason that marijuana was outlawed in the first place?

You're correct in it being a naturally occurring crop, so it must have been legal at one time. What was discovered about the side effects or the behavior brought about that made the government outlaw it, instead of just taxing the hell out of it like tobacco?

propaganda.

you should look into, Emporer wears no clothes, by Jack Herer.

and the tobacco industry is a big reason the drug is still illegal.

and as a conservative, dont you think people should make their own choices, instead of the government making it for them?

I could understand if the arguement was against crack cociane, but alcohol and tobacco are much more harmful for people than pot, and those things are legal and regulated.
