To be fair, prohibiting weed hasn't been too effective either.









I think it ought to be legalized, to a point. I'm just some stupid kid who likes to blaze and sit there making weird art, but even I have to agree that it should have age and usage restrictions. Granted, some people do just fine when they drive and smoke, but if you aren't allowed to have an open can of beer in your car (here in America that's a problem) you shouldn't have a roaring blunt either. Just as a general rule. Driving with cell phones is illegal in some places for the same reason: not everyone is bad about it, but you can't allow for those exceptions.

And there ought to be an age restriction. Just makes sense that you don't want twelve-year-olds smoking up at recess. It's just not good for them. Neither is drinking or smoking. And they wouldn't be old enough to make mature decisions about it.

Holland, being the progressive, magical fairyland that it is, has a good compromise. You're free to smoke in certain designated bars, and in your own home. Makes sense to me.

And finally, if it were ever legalized in the states (*snicker*), they ought to encourage use of vaporizers. Sucking smoke into your lungs is just not good for you, no matter if it's wacky tobacky or just regular tobacky.

But ultimately, pot won't be legal in the US. Hell, owning assault rifles will be legal before pot is. Oh, wait. Ha! Zing. Fuck you, Mr. President.
