legalize weed

[kahljorn]

most industries don't like anything that will cut into their profits, and they will use practically any method to eliminate competition or possible infringements of their finances.

Somebody might want to argue that, but it's true, and it's not very "Free marketish" when an industry can stay at the top because of political lobbying or whatever they do.

While we're discussing weed, why not opium? Opium obviously has medicinal benefits and grows like crazy in almost any garden. It could be effective for minor ailments and pains, rather than having patients relying on vicodin or tylenol or whatever.

Ant, sorry, I didn't see your question. I'm from California.
