Re: California Medical Assn. calls for legalization of marijuana

Yes ..legalise it and lets see what evolves.
It will be an interesting grand social experiment where a yet to be unknown percent of the citizens can be the human guinea pigs and laboratory rats that a grandiose social experiment would require.
The non consumers of alcohol and cigarettes have long known that marijuana is far less harmfull than alcohol while still debating the harm levels of tobacco verses marijuana smoking.
Tobacco, however does not get you high and does not alter your physical and mental state leaving you good and stoned and in effect intoxicated and therefor a possible liability to yourself and or others around you.
I am not prohibitionist by any means but I do,like most citizens , want law and order and the drug known as marijuana is not conducive to law and order.
To the drug consumer it is a social past time that they all like to seemingly bragg about while telling the world that their drug of choice is less harmfull than alcohol so it should be accepted by society and the other drugs should be rejected.
What is really irksome is just how many of them follow the dogma of the drug consuming brotherhoods propaganda that tells people the drug is "Harmless" and there are no problems caused by pot consumption
However if the mass of citizens decide to reject all of the drugs, including marijuana then the pot heads call foul and want special privilages for their consumption of their drug of choice.
It would almost be acceptable if the drug was actually consumed on its own ( seperate from all the other party hardy drugs and alcohol) and or if the drug consumer actually stayed at home and never go outside and or have to interact with the rest of society.
However, statistically, the very stoned pot heads and or habitual marijuana consumer is outside and going about their normal everyday activities and interacting with all the other citizens, most of whom are not stoned and they are not interacting and functioning in a altered mental and physical state.

I like to envision all the pot heads with a dog collar around their necks and a very short leash that effectively keeps them from leaving their designated pot smoking point of drug consumption.
Feed them some more pot and watch them wag thier tails.

I sometimes envision 2 habitual pot heads having a major car accident while stoned on pot and then stand back and watch them argue about who caused the accident.

"No..it is his fault, I only smoked 1 joint and he is lying...he smoked more than me ... I know it because I am a experienced pot head myself..I can see it in his eyes and I know he smoked more pot than I did so he is to blame for the accident"

"Hey man.... you deal in the stuff so you are to blame. Carrying around all that pot in your car makes the car go out of balance and caused you to swerve into me...have a look in the back of his car officer"
