That's a good read, thanks man!

I'm hoping within the next couple decades or so that marijuana will be legalized. However, it never will be until people, the average American, wises up and seeks out information on the drug.

The reasons that it will be so hard to legalize is just because the government can't regulate it, like they can tobacco or alcohol. Because weed is so easy to grow, anyone can do it. Therefore they wouldn't be able to tax those who grow personally. BUT if it were legal, the gov't could get so much money by taxing it, because you know most people would probably buy the commercial stuff, so I don't know why they don't think about that. Or maybe they do.. ?

And besides, politicians and big business, pharmacutical (sp?) companies are all deep in each others pockets with campaigns monies. Don't think these huge companies don't know the benefits of marijuana.. they do. That's why they work so hard to keep it illegal... So people will continue to buy their overpriced and overprescribed medications.
