I think there is some truth to THAT anti-pot commercial. If you are smoking pot, you aren't going to go out and wreak havoc on the neighborhood, you aren't going to put a flaming bag of shit on old man zimmerman's doorstep, you aren't going to drive your car around and run over school children, and you obviously aren't going to go rape people or hack people to bits (as it is affirmed in the classic film Reefer Madness). It's as harmless as aspirin.

What is the fucking deal with the "just say no" philosophy anyways? Like anybody runs around trying to GIVE their drugs to other people. When was the last time a drug user got up in your face , saying "COME ON MAN TRY THIS JOINT EVERYBODY IS DOING IT, NOBODY WILL FIND OUT AND IT MAKES U LOOK SO K3W1 OMG! YOU ARE SO NOT COOL BICOS U ARE NOT SMOKING!!!" Sorry, as tempting as it would be to take these FREE DRUGS that you are offering me, i just *have* to say no because i promised the DARE officer i will never smoke weed in kindergarten.

my point: the drug war is stupid, unfounded bullshit. The only reason we have it is to geneate revenue for the police departments. You know that they get to cease and keep all the cash from drug deals, don't you?? If John Q. Policeman and his team of thugs cease 10,000 dollars from cannabis cultivation, that's 10,000 dollars in the police force's pocket. Doesn't that piss you off, knowing that the POLICE are profiting the most from cannabis? Kind of sends a hypocritical message; which is why they don't flaunt it.
