To hell with the buses, couple of Jolly Greens or C130"s and kick 'em out at about 1000 ft and see how well they can fly.

Life is stressful and people will continue to find ways to escape the reality of their lives, one way or the other. I just find it completely hypocritical that the two most addictive and destructive drugs are available (and still heavily advertised) to anyone who really wants them. All controlled and taxed by the government. IMO any arguments about the dangers of pot, or even heroin, are completely bogus as long as alcohol and tobacco are freely available. If we truly live in a free country where people have the right to choose how they live their lives how do we dare judge someone more harshly for smoking a little pot then for being a "high functioning alcoholic". I still say legalize it all, under the same restrictions we put on tobacco and alcohol (who can buy it, no driving while under the influence, etc.) This tax collecting seems to be one government program that runs reasonably well. This is one of the reasons the Governator is pushing to legalize pot in Ca. They need the $$$$$$$$.
And speaking of drug use. Have you noticed the avalanche of new drugs being pushed on us by the pharmaceutical industry on TV. I watch some of these adds, telling me to speak to my Doc, and quietly streaming an endless list of "possible" side effects, and by the end I have no idea what this new miracle drug is supposed to cure. We take drugs to help us sleep, to help us stay alert, to stop our legs from moving, to keep us calm, to help us speak in public and on and on and on.
Anxiously awaiting your reply!! Where's my Ambien?

I said legalize and tax it all many posts ago.... It's a cinch the program (or lack of it) we've used for the last 40 years hasn't accomplished anything!!!!

The majority of drugs on the market aren't designed to cure anything....It's job security for the drug companies to only develop and market drugs that treat the symtoms!!!!!! If they marketed drugs that actually cured anything, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot!!!!
