what we should be worried about as a society.. instead of a plant that has many fine uses that dont even involve using it to alter your mindstate.. We should be worried about the opiates and barbiturates that get passed out routinely at the doctors office.

The oxycotin and xanax problem in this country is going through the roof. and that stuff literally kills. oxy especially.

But its okay, because a doctor prescribes it.

This is dead on. Unfortunately it falls on deaf ears to people like Joey who aren't really informed and just regurgitate the uptight, conservative mantra of,
"we don't understand it, so it must be wrong."

The sick part here is seniors (many who visit local OTB's) are selling their pills to dealers who in turn are selling them to users, all on the backs of U.S. Taxpayers. Then there's the story of Dr. Giacomo in chicago who thru his pain clinics prescribed over a million pills and who since has lost his med license. Hopefully IL/WI are unique but probably not.
