It's eventually going to happen. If a state tries that I believe the feds will have to push the issue. At that point we will see a Supreme Court case that will settle the issue of 10th amendment rights I think. Right now drugs are regulated under the interstate commerce clause and I want to see someone make the case that a pot plant grown, processed and smoked in California affect interstate commerce.
If not for the taxation angle I am not sure the feds would bother, they already turn a blind eye to medical MJ facilities in states that allow it.

personally if its natural it should be legal, and i agree with you, but i highly doubt they will ever legalize coke or heroin. Id like to see shrooms legalized, but i doubt that will ever happen either...But i cant wait for the day marijuana is legalized nation wide...

How about shrooms?
Personally I don't have a problem with this. I see this a way for the government to reduce some of their deficit...

Did we learn nothing from prohibition? MJ is too mainstream to ever get rid of. Have you ever been drunk and stoned? I did both. Never liked getting high so never got into it but I would rather be on the road with a stoner than a drunk.
If you abuse MJ it will mess you up mentally and physically, just like booze, prescription drugs and Mickey D's.

Not really. Like I said we tried that prohibition thing, the Mafia and Kennedy clan were about the only one's who benefited from that.

You don't really think they will legalize it for people under 21 do you? I was in high school back in the mid 70's and I guarantee you it's a lot more available then it was then and we had no trouble getting it. If you legalize it I seriously doubt it's going to increase the number of kids getting to the stuff.
Even assuming legalization leads to higher use cutting down the associated crime and gang activity associated with it makes it worth it. It would also allow the government to concentrate on the more dangerous and harmful stuff like crack. In fact I would start a jihad against that one and pretty much ignore the others unless it just happened to land in your lap. I cannot believe people are stupid enough to use that crap.

Very few people know that's where the Kennedy money is from. John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Old Fitzgerald bourbon have the same roots.
On the pot thing; this topic sure draws odd bed-fellows. The late Mr. William F. Buckley, Mr. Conservative. favored legalizing the stuff. But only because it was impossible to police.

Word. Personally, I never have liked the stuff. Tried it twice and really hated the feeling. I drink socially when I'm having a party or out with friends, but that's about it. I have to agree that with legalizing pot, there will be a lot more pros than cons. Kids have gotten it in the past and will continue to do so. That part is a non-factor. I do believe it will curb gang activity and help feds focus on tackling harder drugs.
