…at least in California. A legislator is trying to get the drug legalized in these hard times:
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a San Francisco Democrat, introduced a bill Monday that if approved by the California Legislature would put pot on the same legal footing as alcohol. Adults over the age of 21 would be allowed to buy it, and driving under the influence of marijuana would be prohibited.
I think this might be the only way to make up for taking 700 majillion dollars from Americans.

I do not know what many of you think but the subject of marijuana/cannabis legalization is a thorny one indeed. Although pot is widely used, almost as much as cofee/alcohol/tabacco. . An interesting site I have found on this subject is http://LegalPot.com. If you wanna know more about this topic visit this link (i liked the section on growing your own pot a LOT).
amen. amen. amen!
I agree make it legal. There is no differance from getting high off alcohol than marijuana. I don’t understand how marijuana is illegal and cigarettes’ are since cigs will cause you to get sick and die. Plus they have been chemically altered to cause you to become addicted to them too. It’s time to be fair make it legal or all 3 illegal.
Tom Ammiano is also gay and knew Harvey Milk. He also appeared in a few scenes for the movie Milk.
Carefull – the last time somebody fooled with the alcohol industry, a president got assasinated.
Then the police could concentrate on hurtful crimes like muggings and burglary, the types of crimes that always go up during a recession. Legalize it, regulate it, tax it, and watch the revenue roll in.
