War on pot rejected by voters

[Peter Lemkin]

A study done in NH decades ago showed that when pot was decrim. there the amount of teen usage went way down. Teens do things sometimes BECAUSE they are illegal. So the government's argument- that more kids will use, or leads to harder drugs - is just another false one. But it works with the lying media and uneducated "folks" (to use a "Billo" term)

I used to live in Amsterdam, with its legal 'smoking bars' and only the visitors from 'deprived' nations used grass in excess - the Dutch really were rather blase about it - like the French about a glass of wine. Making something illegal makes it of interest to the young and more expensive for all; not to mention a boon for those who sell it and get the proceeds of the prison population..... My long life in the USA and in Europe confirms that marijhana does not lead to anything, except slighly enhanced sensory perception, laughter, better sex, and anti-extablishment thinking.....all for the better IMO. Alcohol and many doctor-perscribed drugs are MUCH more dangerous.
