These "rants" are not silly or irrelevant, they are quite serious, this is a serious topic, because there are MANY people in jail for nothing else but simple possession, or selling it, or whatever. Some laws are meant to be broken, just as Alcohol Prohibition was unjust and unrealistic, so is Cannabis Prohibition, except Cannabis Prohibition has been going on for 70 years and is far more crazy. Who the hell gets to tell me or anyone else that I can't put cannabis in my body? Coke and Heroin, sure, those are demonstrably bad for you, addictive, and WILL ruin your life, but weed? Weed? If weed ruined your life, there wasn't much there to start with. The only thing foolish about this entire debate is the energy spent by the anti-drug side to imprison, harass, and badger anyone who gets their rocks' off differently from the mainstream alcohol culture. Saying cannabis should be illegal is like saying God made a mistake when it made the Earth. "Woops! I just left all that pot lying around, growing big and beautiful buds. Hmm what should I do, what should I do?" "I know! I'll create Republicans now, to offset my mistake!" Anyways, this is a debate this country needs to have. We make the safest drug illegal, while promoting tobacco and alcohol as the "acceptable" drugs of choice. The proof is the in the pudding, how many people died last year because of chronic tobacco and alcohol use? Now how many people, in the last 10,000 years, have died from chronic cannabis use? The answer is 0.
