   Has anybody in the world's governments noticed that prohibition doesn't work?

   They would have to let half of the incarcerated population out, and you certainly can't do that.  There is no money in setting people free.

      Doesn't do a lot for the public good to set criminals free until they've served their sentence either.

         so smoking weed is a criminal activity? Because I know a few good people who are incarcerated for bothering no one but enjoying some of life's fine resources.
         
         In short, they are not criminals, it's criminal minded to lock a man up for something like smoking marijuana when 1000's of people die per day from drunk drivers....but oooooooooooooooooohhhhh, it's endorsed by this great hypocritical country of ours, therefore a few lives lost means absolutely nothing as long as it's 'legal.'

               it's not dope....it's marijuana, cannibis, weed! Dope is a mixture of cocaine and heroin mainly; not anywhere in the neighborhood of man made stimulants.
               
               
               but it's okay though, like I said, kill a few more thousand or million people by drunk drivers and over medicated people fooled by the pharmacutical companies of this country.
               
               It sounds idiotic when man argues man made principals and laws that have obvious flaws. You tell me that those who were locked up for smoking a natural herb deserve to be incarcerated any more than these greedy politcians and war lords who kill innocent civilians, for centuries. This country was founded on criminal activity my friend, do the knowledge.
               
               This is not a system that you want to stand on the floor and defend in front of the world as your jury.
               
               There are too many good people (I'm sure you wouldn't know because you probably are 'too important' to know people like that) in prison for just smoking. Yet how many drunk bastards who abandon their families are walking around with a brown paper bag free and without a care but where their next bottle will come from? It's all hypocritical, a nation of horemongers, liars, theives, murderers and greed stricken white collared _________(fill in the blank).

                     Who cares anyway.  If the herb is made legal, you would just pay more for it anyway.  Just don't get caught.

            Oh, I smoke quite heavily. In my mind (as is in many other's as well) there are far too many REAL criminals walking around out here. I won't even get on that subject because it sparks a whole different argument. However, there's NOTHING criminal about enjoying what GOD naturally put on this earth. It's not the herb that's criminal, it's man's pervasive attitude that he can impliment his own misconceptions on society as a whole and think it's plausable in the big picture.
            
            Don't get me started, CNN and your history books show far more criminals than those who are smokers and will NEVER be judged for their crimes. Get outta here!
