$20 says that a lot of the same college kids who complain about secondhand smoke would never think twice about puffing on a joint. It's amazing how tobacco is depicted in most media as something evil that should be outlawed or banne, but somehow weed is depicted as misunderstood, harmless, and on the verge of being legalized.

Almost as bad a s the war on drugs-----I couldnt even imagine fighting a war on drugs, hell I have a hard enough time even being coherent when Im on drugs.....fighting a war while on them?? No way.

Well now that it has been determined that cell phones cause cancer will the government significantly increase taxes on cell phones? Do we now have to disclose that we use cell phones on medical questionnaires? Will there be a war on cell phones?

Theyre already taxed the sh!t out of...since so many people have them its a great revenue source. So cancer or not----whats to make us think they would stop now?

I think we should declare a war on war. I hear its the leading cause of death for American soldiers while deployed.

Drugs are a Victimless crime.

While I agree with the majority of your post above. I must disagree greatly with that sentence I quoted. From parents who are invovled in violent altercations around their children while doing them. To people who die from meth houses blowing up, or the fumes they produce which have killed people. To the crimes and poor decisions (or lack of decisions) made by people on them who can effect others................You can say this is the individual and not the drug, but saying that is oversimplifing a very complex topic and overlooking the societal and economic impact the drugs themselves have from production, to sale, to comsumption.

Not talking about pot here-----I consider that alcohol number 2-----talking about harder stuff.

I think what you're really refering to is "selective freedom"
