To start watch "The Union: The business behind getting high". Or you can chose to be like a liberal and just be emotional about it and uneducated. You can use the link or watch it on Netflix. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9077214414651731007#

“Or you can chose to be like a liberal and just be emotional about it and uneducated.”
I agree that alcohol causes a great deal more damage than marijuana but that is a poor argument for adding to the carnage with another legal intoxicant. One reason is alcohol is much more widely consumed than marijuana. If we legalize marijuana, we really don’t know the impact but we do know that it will be nearly impossible to reverse course if the impact turns out to the as or more devastating than alcohol. (If you want to argue marijuana is benign, then take a walk on the wild side of Amsterdam and then decide if you want California to go that direction. Legalization is fine for the casual recreational user there but the city is infested with drug addicts and pushers plying their trade in stronger stuff than allowed by Dutch law.)
As for being “like a liberal and just be emotional about it and uneducated”, I am not the one making emotional arguments about it. I have cited logic, history and fallible human nature as concerns. That is what we common call the traits of a Conservative.
The emotional argument I hear too often is, “I want to enjoy my harmless indulgence in marijuana so the government should make it legal for everyone regardless of the risks or carnage it might cause for society as a whole.”
