At least you admit it’s a vice. The 60’s wasn’t enough of an example I guess.

Pot has been in use since 2700 B.C. and will be in use in 5000 A.D. Just like alcohol.

What one generation did in relation to it is currently how the drug is being judged. That is why pot will probably not be legalized until the hippies and the hippie hating generations are long gone.

The problem with the drug war is that the cure is worse than the disease. The 60s are actually starting to look not so bad with rise in paramilitary police, the end of the 4th Amendment, and all the other negative effects of the drug war (thousands of dead in Mexico and South America every year. I am more afraid of our own government these days than anyone else, and I do not even use illegal drugs. All you need is a ticked off neighbor to get your door kicked down, your dogs killed, and your family accosted by men in machine guns and masks.
