I admit I smoke a few puffs here and there, although the high is somewhat boring and doesn't do that much for me, it's a mild diversion But I believe weed should be legalized and sold in liquor stores under the same laws as alcohol (The Republican "War on Drugs" is a proven complete failure I reject) for very logical reasons:
1.) Tens of millions of law-abiding, functional Americans were smoking weed for decades in America, from all walks of life, regardless of the exact pot laws. Why waste jail space on something that isn't terribly important or harmful anyway?
2.) In every quantifiable way, pot is less destructive to society than alcohol; it doesn't cause violence, loss of control, melodramatic family dysfunctionality, or 50% of fatal car crashes in this country.
3.) The U.S. Constitution is written on hemp paper (wood paper would have disintegrated into dust by now), so in a physical way it's truly un-American to criminalize hemp with its 1001 industrial uses.
4.) It has the medical advantage of being the strongest, fastest anti-emetic known to medical science. Nothing will stop chronic vomiting better than THC.
5.) Nobody has ever died from a THC overdose because even though it feels somewhat narcotic, it doesn't really affect one's vital signs.
