Not at all the same thing as prohibition. For the record I am good with reform in the criminal aspect. I would focus more energy on an education campaign to deter and shun pot smoking much like has been done with smoking cigarettes. I would heighten the penalties for distribution and transport and simply administer citations low level possession. I think if the media would focus a bit more on the tens of thousands of Mexican deaths caused by the cartels in the transportation of pot and other illegal drugs people might count the cost of their toke with a little more trepidation.
Highly debilitating.
Please tell me how many people have died of an overdose of marijuana in the last 50 years.
BTW, I grow tomatoes hydroponically, they aren't extremely potent, just delicious.
whether or not a chemical can kill the people who abuse or use it shouldn't dictate its legalization.
Marijuana's effects have been nerffed by those who support its legalization. Its a far more destructive drug in reality, especially to young people.
And new strains of the drug DO have much higher levels of THC.
Good, then you have to smoke less of it!
And, it isn't dangerous. Go have a scotch.
It IS dangerous.
That's the kind of misinformation thats leading to these STUPID State legalization initiatives.
No it isn't.
What is the toxicity level of marijuana?
How many people have overdosed?

Its inability to NOT kill people does not make it harmless.
What a joke. Its highly destructive especially when consumed by kids.
So legalize pot and the cartels no longer are involved. Instead we could be paying U.S. farmers to grow a legal weed same way we pay U.S. brewers to make beer.
FWIW, I can't justify harsh penalties for selling something and light penalties for buying it and using it. It's the same voluntary, mutually beneficial market transaction, and it seems that both parties to it should be facing somewhat equivalent legal risks. I'm not accusing you of this, but this kind of disparate treatment seems justifiable only because for most people THEIR kid isn't the low life scum dealer, he's just a normal kid smoking a little pot.
Where I would favor harsh penalties is dealers selling to minors, or for that matter adults supplying it to minors. That's where we all agree the law should step in.
The reason I advocate for harsh penalties on the supply side is because there is no addiction on the supply side. Addiction mitigates the penalty for users. Those with addiction need more help than a short stay in jail can provide.

And why do you grow Tomatoes hydroponically ?
They're so easy to grow. They grow like weeds down here in Texas
