<br /><br />I think it'll be awhile still before anything like this will happen. Heck, they talked about making cigarettes an illegal drug. But we know that won't happen since booze and cigs line the pockets of our government. They could also make big profits from legalizing pot. The only thing they need is a politician who isn't afraid to run with it.<br /><br />And, I agree pot heads are usually very mellow. They drive 20 MPH and think they are doing 80 and they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a shot gun when under the influence. <br /><br />After drinkning booze and quitting you will still be smart and for the most part sharp. Look at all the hippeys around who smoked weed in their teens, now that they are in there 50's they are all burnt out. <br /><br />Legalize? That's a good question.<br />I know many who do use it for both medical and recreational use.<br />The government will never get rid of it or win the 'war' on it, so they might as well give it up. <br /><br />Register all potheads, keep it in your home, and if you get caught elsewhere (like driving or not being a registered user) toss them in jail and fine them enough to where their grandkids will still be paying!<br /><br />H.
