^ yeah, I could agree that most disputes are honest differences of opinions, some people honestly believe that ending cannabis prohibition would send the wrong message to the kids or something. I don't, but some do.

But, even if there are no cabals and conspiracies (and I'm not saying there aren't but even if there aren't) there is still just the simple inertia of such massive cash flows to both sides of the "war" that this would tend to continue the status quo. :twocents:

If anyone has not read Jack Herer's Emporer has no clothes, please do, its still as relevent today as when he wrote decades ago. That is where I first began to understand the mechanism called prohibition and why it is working out so well for some people. :wtf:
