DST, not to be a thorn in your side, but I am the younger generation from the sixties, we are in power, it's people like me who are now 'the establishment'. I've been waiting since 1968 for weed to be legalized and my own hippie generation is letting me down...or maybe not. Truthfully, I could care less whether they legalize it or not, it will not affect me one way or the other, I'm still going to do what I do. It is however the attitude surrounding the whole growing and smoking thing that pisses me off to no end, the ignorance is utterly amazing. What people will believe without facts to support their own warped point of view is amazing, never underestimate the power of stupid. I think what we are seeing is the problem of legalization being tackled from a different angle, the medical angle.
Viagra was first introduced to testing for people with angina? (spelling), but it didn't work very well, however the drug company noticed during testing it has this other ability, we all know what that ability is. Let me ask you guys this, had you ever heard of erectile dysfunction before viagra? I hadn't. So they couldn't sell viagra as a medicine to help with angina, but if they came up with this 'condition' they could sell it for 'erectile dysfunction' and a gold mine was born. I see the same thing happening with 'medical' marijuana. Almost a third of the country now has medical, it really is only a matter of time before either outright legalization or national decriminalization takes place.
