We should conduct experiments to determine if marijuana smoke is more of a pollutant than cigarette smoke. I volunteer to for the marijuana group. It's a rough job but I'm happy... no... euphoric to do it.

Protecting people from themselves is always a futile endevour.
For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.

What a waste of money.
It's naive to think they're going to stop smoking pot once they get out.

Seems like the 'War' on Drugs is another one that is self-defeating and pointless. The hypocrisy of illegalising cannabis in a society where alcohol is not just allowed, but considered to be 'normal' behaviour, is simply staggering. And stupid.

What a waste of time. Besides, it can be very enlightening.
