Yes Keith, it's incredible how benign cannabis is compared to alcohol and other legal drugs. Trouble is, because you can grow cannabis in your backyard or on your balcony there's no way the Government can tax it and make money out of its consumption. They hate the idea of people getting high without giving them a cut. So they establish a massive prohibition bureaucracy (at taxpayer expense) and ruin the lives of many thousands of people for the 'crime' of consuming a harmless herb.
Don't worry, the social changes caused by the economic meltdown will be profound, imo. I reckon cannabis will be fully decriminalised within a year or so.
