Cesspool! What did anyone expect?

You can say that again, and again, and again.....
It's here, embedded in the culture and that's not likely to change either.
There are far superior medicines available for any problem someone might use “medicinal marijuana” for.
Heroin brings medicinal benefits, too. If your leg is sore, nothing feels better than a shot of heroin. If you’re depressed, nothing feels better. If you had a fight with your girlfriend, nothing better. If you lose your job, nothing better.
As Karl Marx once said, medical benefits for all!!
As long as there have been streets there have been dirty, annoying panhandlers. Beggars are as old as civilization.
Long before marijuana came to your town, drunken teens & adults were weaving down your roads killing themselves & others; Drunken husbands were beating their wives & kids, drunken fights resulted in death & serious injury, & drunks were loosing their jobs, homes, & families to booze.
The reason our towns/cities are are a social mess is the Liberal policies that have neutered justice, refused to deal with mentally ill people, destroyed good jobs that enable people to climb out of poverty, & created a welfare system that destroys people’s motivations to better themselves.
The decline of this country has little to do with marijuana & everything to do with our corrupt political system & the 49% percent of voters who routinely enable the insanity.
You think our 535 Congress members are having pot parties as they turn this country towards tyranny? On the contrary, they are all down in the bars of Washington, DC getting sh*tfaced.
Drug warriors are cut from the same cloth as the fascist Liberals who believe the government has the right to dictate every aspect of our private lives. In the case of illegal drugs, they conveniently overlook the deadliest, most destructive drug of all - alcohol, most probably because they enjoy being inebriated (high).
FAR superior for ANY patient? Prove it.
As Mariner said:
"Whether weed is legal or not, the consumption rate is not likely to change.
"It's here, embedded in the culture and that's not likely to change either."
Not to mention that any increase in consumption will be people who used to not smoke because it was illegal, and who will therefore continue to not perform the still-illegal act of driving stoned.
Not impressed with the “article” or the language.
“There are far superior medicines available for any problem someone might use “medicinal marijuana†for.”
With all kinds of “superior” side effects. Addiction & death being 2 frequent ones.
