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.

Explanation:
Over 70% want it legal, we are throwing away 100 billion a year spent on this stupid war we are putting non violent good people in jail (read http://www.november.org /) not to mention the estimated billions we could make from taxes if it were legal. The only debate is if your representative thinks a continuation of the status quo is the the right thing to do then vote that person out of office!!

At first when I read NORML's response, I was like "Yeah, true true. Defend your place." Good response

Running scared
It's obvious that the Drug Policy Office is running scared. Their public failure, and high horse attitude on drug policy warrants a wake up call. The only logical reason for not debating is their need to keep the wool over the public's eyes. It's sad that they think they can do this with simple censorship. I'm glad in this internet age that we can bypass the media and government's attempts to censor thoughtful, accurate, reasonable arguments. Pro-Marijuana advocates are marching the streets towards legalization and the only substance coming out of the Drug Policy office is the same old, tired, propoganda. Some things never change... but some things will.
