I'm with Alex. Pot seems a lot less of a problem to society than drinking.

And I know plenty of people, including my HIV brother on a cocktail of "Drugs" (read: poison) that medical MJ helps. He has a prescription and card, and visits the pot stores.

There are a lot of other elicit drugs that have been used for medical purposes, so why not pot? It's because the burocrats have backed themselves into a corner with their "war on drugs" that they can't get out of with out admitting they were wrong, thats why!

From what I can tell, the active ingredient in pot, THC, is not nearly as effective when synthetic and swallowed as a pill. Anyone know if that is correct?

So, if they can convert some tobacco feilds over to pot, and taxed it, everyone would win, it seems to me.
