When I was in highschool marijuana was ten times easier to get than beer or hard spirits. The reason why? Because beer and hard spirits are regulated and controlled by the government. You needed to be of age to buy them. Drug dealers do not care how old their customers are! Legalization, regulation, and education are the best way to protect our children.

President Obama, you pledged to govern based on science rather than ideology. How can you justify excluding this enormous set of government programs and policies from consideration based on that principle? Establish a commision to study our program and others around the world to determine which policy best promotes the general welfare.

the fact that people think its ok to destroy lives and families to keep the prison population full just because someone who is a grown adult decides to smoke a joint in the privacy of their own home is down-right disgusting. By the way i dont even smoke and havn’t for about 7 years now.

I’d add that heroin and cocaine in their pure forms have overwhelmingly fewer bad side effects than the poor quality drugs provided by criminals. Legal and regulated drugs would not kill as many people, and honest, beleivable education regarding the rest of the side effects could save minds as well as bodies. I hear that ethical (and practical) coke dealers used to cut their product with b-vitamins to keep up their customers’ health.
