Whatever.

The thing that gets me is all the money that is being spent on fighting this "scourge" when all it does is boost the price of it up.

BTW, as for it being "natural", don't get on that schtick. Lots of things are "natural" and that does not make them any better for you than "artificial". A snakebite is still a snakebite, and Heroin, a natural derivitive/product of poppies, is a life sucker. MOST of our drugs start from natural sources, even the perscription meds, so just be careful when taking that angle in an argument/defense of MJ.

Bottom line is, is this a substance that causes enough problems in the US to spend as much time, money and effort as we do to "fix" it?
