More reasons to vote for The Donald.

Marijuana has legit medical use and Justin Bieber is far from the worst to come out of pop culture. He’s just an annoying but harmless rich kid sewing his oats.

“Marijuana has legit medical use”

Says who, potheads? Certainly not the AMA.

If you want to argue that marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol or tobacco and should be legal, go ahead (although I’d argue to the contrary) But marijuana’s purported medical benefits (which somehow are undetectable to scientists and doctors, even if pro-marijuana activists swear that it’s a panacea up there with Windex and chicken soup) have nothing to do with the reason why 99% of pro-marijuana advocates want to legalize it. They want to smoke a joint, not pretend to cure glaucoma.

Oh, and while I’m at it, when arguing for marijuana legalization, leave out the whole “making drugs illegal creates crime” argument. You cheerfully point out that marijuana isn’t as harmful as heroin, crack or crystal meth (and you’re certainly correct about that), so you similarly should admit that it is addicts to those other illegal drugs that commit violent crimes to feed their habits and dealers of such other drugs that tend to commit murder to protect their turf. If you wish to legalize heroin, say so, but don’t pretend that the supposed reduction in crime from the legalization of heroin (which I dispute, but which at least is possible) will occur if you legalize marijuana. Ron Paul admitted that he would have no problem with heroin becoming legal; if that’s what you believe, go ahead and say so, and then you can argue about how addicts would stop committing crimes and unicorn poop would sweeten our coffee and rea.
