"In a laissez-faire society, there could exist no public institution with the power to forcefully protect people from themselves. From other people (criminals), yes. From one's own self, no. Marijuana is a plant, a crop. People who smoke it do not do so under the compulsion either of physiological addiction or of institutional power. They do so voluntarily."--Karl Hess
Question for you dmarks. If the government were to legalize marijuana, cocaine, heroin, et al tomorrow, would you suddenly start smoking pot, snorting coke and injecting heroin?
Apparently you think everyone else would.
Did you go to a public school cuz your reasoning ability is non-existent.

Legalize it, because if there is one thing we need, is more drug addiction and brain damage.
