Abusing this feature is also a violation of Civility 101.
Explanation:
The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

There are Ways To Make Current Policy Better
Education???
You state the following:
"Education should be a chief component of any anti-marijuana effort. I do not just mean educating young people (that is obvious), but also the medical and community health clinic community which is shockingly ignorant of the true dangers of occasional and heavy use of marijuana."
How do you intend to educate the medical community about the dangers of a drug when your beloved policy won't even allow scientific studies on the drug?
Also, every legitimate scientific study done in other countries shows that the dangers are minimal... far less than any legally prescribed drug, which must, by definition, have an ld50 (lethal dose 50%).
