How do you expect the phamaceutical industry to sell their expensive symptom laden anti-depressants and pain meds if you can just grow your own?

Why don't people just ask the basic question: "What is your constitutional and moral justification for this particular restriction of liberty?"

There is no evidence use would go up with legalization and, yes I would like for use to increase. Cannabis is good for your body and mind.

Also from what I understand while alcohol is in use today it was much more of a problem during prohibition.

Asa gets 90% of the time and still cannot say one productive thing other than the fact that he is pro medical marijuana apparently. He also says many things that show him to either be severely misinformed or he is just evil. If law enforcement agents had even a sliver of integrity they would refuse to perform all the unconstitutional acts that the drug war requires them to do so stating that they have lots of integrity just goes against all logic and evidence.

Ya, the "more use" argument is a faux argument. You can't make the same argument for, say, baked turkeys. "If we legalize baked turkeys consumption might go up!" The logical response to this is...so what. Even IF mary jane was harmful, we are allowed to harm ourselves in other ways, like not exercising or eating to many calories. This has everything to do with enforcing a moral direction, much like all social laws, be in welfare or gay marriage; someone trying to force his version of "good" into law.
