Let's be real for moment. Everyone knows the war on drugs isn't doing ****. Many are even aware that it's counter productive. And we all also know that most drugs, when consumed in moderation, aren't really that dangerous.

So if it's not safety and efficiency, what could is possibly be?

The realistic answer is money, but what I can tell you for sure is that it's not the reasons we're told. When keeping it going makes no sense and basically every objective thinker gets that, you know something is wrong.

That's a point, but it runs counter to Big Pharmy.

What is with this "War on" rhetoric, people are so easily manipulated, they play to human emotions very well.

I think it's safe to say that more than 90% of people in this forum who want to continue cannabis prohibition consider themselves as conservatives.

The only 2 here I can think of that don't believe the lies are Roadwarrior2003 and No1BrownsFan. (Sorry if I got you're names wrong.)

I wonder why that is? Conservatives are supposed to be against big government, but supporting federal prohibition is supporting the "nanny state" mentality they claim to be despise.

It literally goes against what they claim to believe.
