Interesting watch, about half way through right now.

it is actually very very good... the ending is powerful too.

QFT.

Anyone that can watch 1:28-1:30 and still say pot has no medicinal value is heartless.

In Belgium, it's not legalized but is has been decriminalized for personal use for years. It's a good thing because law enforcement has IMO more urgent things to do then putting some stoner in jail.

This is what irritates me: the fact that you want to "keep people away from it." People should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn't affect others; treat weed just like alcohol in terms of DUIs and stuff. Most people will use it like alcohol - as a way to relax after work or with friends.

And prohibition didn't work for alcohol - it's not working for marijuana either.

As long as the government is involved in healthcare the government has an obligation to keep people away from certain things. If you wish to cut down government to bare absolute minimum then yes, we can legalize pot.

I'd say it is working for pot. If pot were legal, I would guess there would be 5 times as many people smoking it than now, maybe more.

Since this is OT :

Shut the fuck up

Ditto. I dont think legalizing it would cause new people to smoke pot. Its mostly such a non issue now and you can get the stuff everywhere if you want it.
