1. If we legalize pot, the Drug companies won't be able to promote their "Marinol" patch. n/t

[Mick Knox]

2. It is idiotic to have marijuana illegal.

[Warren DeMontague]

3. We spend $40 Billion a year on the drug war, not including costs of incarceration.

The vast majority of drug war expenditures go towards keeping consenting adults from pot smoking.

It's totally idiotic, and if we legalized, regulated, and taxed the stuff, we'd have a fucking windfall.
